The Teen Who’s Inspiring a Generation to Be Prepared

Oct 24, 2025 2:44 pm

Dear Friends,

What if your teen could enjoy post-apocalyptic fiction and learn real-world preparedness through the eyes of someone their own age?


DJ Cooper first met Aidan at the Self-Reliance Expo in Aurora, Colorado, way back in 2022. Aidan loved the post-apocalyptic genre, but was also more knowledgeable about preparedness than many adults. Aidan wanted to learn to write and started writing apocalyptic books that could speak to a generation about the need to be self-sufficient. Those of us at Thrive Self-Reliance and Angry Eagle Publishing are so proud of this young man and can't wait to host him in 2026 back in Colorado.
