Props, Scenery, Action - The G.O.O.D Plan Photo-shoot

#1

 Time for a photo-shoot. Weather. Check. Props. Check. Scenery. Check. Finally, a good weather day. However, with the recent flooding in the area it took more than a few attempts to find a road or bridge that had not been washed out. Eventually, I found this little skidtrail into the mountains of K-Country.

No crowds up here, unlike the roads down below. But, I digress.

Time for a photo-shoot. It was time to get the Field Manual version of The G.O.O.D. Plan - Get Out Of Dodge into the field. So, I borrowed some props (from anonymous sources), grabbed the camera and headed for the hills.

I have received some feedback that my original photos in my blog were too home-made. I needed some action shots featuring my book. Please find a selection of the photos for your review. 

Please post a reply of which pictures look best and which one might make a good cover photo. Any comments are welcome.

The G.O.O.D. Plan Logo!!

Time for some product branding. So, I went to the forge, drew out a red hot iron, bashed it with a heavy hammer on the anvil of creativity and viola.........the logo for: The G.O.O.D. Plan - Get Out Of Dodge!!!

The circle and triangle symbolize preparedness, as in the old time civil defence programs in North America after WW2. The match symbolizes the potential energy to turn an idea into a plan, much like a match turns a bundle of sticks into a fire. And like matches and fires, ideas and plans without action sit dormant and ready to be employed in a moments notice.

The G.O.O.D Plan Seeking a Publisher

Soft Cover Edition (8 1/2"x 11")

 The G.O.O.D. Plan - Get Out Of Dodge is seeking a publisher.

I have self-published the Master Planner's Deluxe Binder Edition, as well as, with the assistance of Island Blue Printing Co, Victoria, BC, I have self-published both the 8.5"x11" Soft Cover Edition and the 5.5"x8.5" Field Manual Editions.

For this project to move forward I need a publisher to join me. 

What I am not seeking:

• To sign away my rights to this project
• To lose total control of this project
• To give my project away

 

Back Cover

The Master Planner's Deluxe Binder Edition

The Master Planner's Deluxe Binder Edition

What I am seeking:

• To work in cooperation with a publisher
• Get an e-Book version and the Field Manual Versions to the buying public - sooner rather than later
•  Eventually, have the soft cover version made available

Interested persons or publishers please contact me via e-mail:

theGOODplan@hotmail.ca

 The market is there. I just need some help to tap into it.


Thank you,

V. Andrew McMillan.

Soft Cover & Field Manual Edition (5.5" x 8.5")

The G.O.O.D Plan - Official Field Manual Edition

The G.O.O.D Plan - Field Manual Edition in the Field

The G.O.O.D. Plan - Get Out Of Dodge  Field Manual Edition is now a reality. The good folks at Island Blue Print Co, in Victoria, BC have once again helped me out with the printing duties.

The new field manual edition is 5.5" x 8.5", compared to the soft cover edition which is 8.5" x 11". The field manual edition will fit the leg cargo pocket of many BDU type cargo pants. 

I am still searching for a publisher to take my book to the next level and bring my book to the world. So, if you are a publisher and you have heard of my book, feel free to contact me and see if we can work out a deal. I will be upfront on what the deal will not include: I will not sign away my rights to this project or any off shoots that may develop. I would like to see the public be able to have the option of an e-Book, a field manual and the soft cover version. My original idea of a Master Planner's Deluxe Binder Edition would be nice, although commercially unlikely. I can accept that.

So, I will continue to try to find a publisher. 

Publishers can make contact at: thegoodplan @ hotmail dot ca

Til next time......if you have a good idea, write it down!!

Andrew.

Book Review "The G.O.O.D Plan"

by susannah755 » 18 Jun 2012 21:25

I recently purchased this book mainly because I'm an info junkie and the extracts that I saw on this forum whetted my appetite for more...so I made my move and purchased my copy. Best thing I ever did! I decided to write a review - I wasn't asked to write a review, I volunteered to do so only because when I read this book yesterday it just inspired me so much - it explained a lot than I simply did not know how to tackle, I had no plan for bugging out in an emergency as I was relying on a "by the seat of my pants" reaction...not any more, I've started my plan already, I have "direction" and it's giving me peace of mind. So...here's my review:

I really like the way this book was written, it was engaging and thought provoking throughout. (I honestly couldn’t put it down – I read the whole thing in one sitting). It is written using “lay-person” language so it is very easy to read and the advice given is simple and concise so, regardless of your level of knowledge in planning to bug out in an emergency, you will have a plan forming as you read this book.

The information contained in this work is enlightening – every base is covered and the author goes to great lengths to explain every aspect of how to begin to assimilate the idea’s contained within this tome into a workable plan for you and your family’s survival. There is a wealth of information on things that you would assume would be covered plus a whole lot more. I especially liked the drills/practice for bugging out, the use of family codes was awesome (something that I hadn’t even thought of), the lists that are included are fantastic, SOP’s are explained and the SERE tips are excellent. All of the information can be adapted to suit any climate in any country – bonus!! The additional resources are just “mind blowing”. This is a book that you will read again and again – a worthy addition to your survival bookshelf.

I would recommend that everyone read this book.
Thank you Mountainman - awesome effort.

So.....when is the next book coming out?
