The Survivalist

The Survivalist tells the life story of author Larry Hager. In 1939, his family moved from Kansas to Idaho, and then to Oregon. Twelve years later they moved to a small logging community in southern Oregon and a whole new life for a little farm boy.

Larry encountered a lot of interesting moments as a young man that he would have been far better off avoiding. Eventually, he wound up in the penitentiary as a result of one of these incidents. At first, however, he did not take his incarceration seriously. When he finally realized how serious the situation was, he started doing things with his life much differently.

Now he tells his story.
