Williams and followed it up with the narrative of his kayak adventure through the Virgin Islands with two friends in self built sea kayaks titled Why Do All the Locals Think We're Crazy?. Scott continues on the topic of public safety with the release of his next three books The Neighborhood Emergency Response Handbook, Prepper's Survival Medicine Handbook, and Prepper's Guide to Knots.
