I always seem to get some FReeper who complains about Selco's writing. As I have explained before Selco is a Bosnian and survived the Siege of Sarajevo, so english is not his first language, in fact what he does know of English he was pretty much self taught. He also isn't someone setting around in a cabin in woods or already hunkered down in a bunker somewhere. He's been there and done that and lived to tell about it. Here's a brief bit about him from SHTF Plan: For those who have never seen Selco’s work, he’s the real deal. He was there in the 1990′s when his city in the Balkans was surrounded by a hostile army. From one day to the next life as he and those around him knew it had changed drastically. The media, of course, told people that everything would be fine. But As Selco highlighted in a previous article, the reality of collapse was brutal. Peace and stability very quickly turned to war and madness. He details his experience in his One Year in Hell survival course. In the article below, Selco shares his views on what it means to survive when your entire way of life has been cut off from the rest of the world.
