COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho » The Armchair Survivalist believes the nation is falling into chaos, and he wants to help.

He offers practical advice for dealing with riots, wars, natural disasters and food shortages, which he says are imminent because of the worldwide economic meltdown and the incoming Obama administration.

"Too many things are occurring at the same time. It's upsetting people," said the Survivalist, whose real name is Kurt Wilson.

So this Martha Stewart for the camo-and-compound crowd provides valuable information on nonperishable foods, portable water purifiers and defensive weapons. His catalog business, Survival Enterprises, sells what you need for the coming hard times.

Northern Idaho has long been a magnet for anti-government types and Wilson moved his business here from California in 1998.
