Andrew Kennest

Born in Jacksonville, Oregon, in 1956, Andrew Kennest has always had a passion for plants, extreme sports, cooking healthy food, and long walks in the wilderness, where he has also learned how to survive in the most severe off-grid conditions, far away from any supermarket or modern comfort. A sunny and friendly man with a difficult past behind him. At the age of 6, Andrew Kennest lost both of his parents and one of his two brothers to a violent hurricane. This tragical event instilled in him the awareness that nature is as fascinating as it is unpredictably dangerous and that the worst can happen anytime. When he was 25, he started following some local groups related to the so-called Prepper movement, becoming a well-known authority in the field in a few years. His books are considered a real bible by anyone interested in this world. “I love sharing the knowledge I accumulated during my entire life, and the opportunity to have my books published is so meaningful for me. If I can help even only one person on the Earth with the information within them, this is what I call success.”
