Where to begin? Well, those who know me personally and even those familiar with my own books and magazine articles all have a pretty good idea about my perpetual appetite for survival-related information, and nowadays we sure do find a plethora of books, videos, magazines, and websites from a growing list of survival experts devoted to this realm, don't we? I am especially impressed with this new resource from this long-time prepper, author, and blogger MD Creekmore, and one area where I think it ascends higher than most other available prepper resources is in the comprehensive scope of it. This new book is so loaded with valuable long-term survival preparation ideas and common sense as to make it a godsend resource for every prepper's library in my humble opinion. To mention just some of the topics discussed, it addresse some of the author's reasons for prepping, water purification and water storage, food storage and other food considerations, urban gardening, raising chickens and other animals, self-defense and emergency tactical cosniderations after a societal collapse (with a brief and thoughtful overview of survival firearms), medical considerations, an in-depth discussion on bug-out bags and weighing the options of bugging out vs hunkering down, prepper communications, animal trapping, edible wild plants, bartering, long-term survival tools and gear, and plenty more. From this book I have learned things like which two-way radios are most suitable for which types of communications, and which types of traps are most suitable for harvesting specific kinds of animals, among so many other useful tidbits I'm sure I'll think of after I post this review. I intend to re-read it several times and keep it for reference. I've been looking for a book like this for quite a while, and now finally here it is. No way I can avoid going five stars on it.
Like his personal blog MD Creekmore is cogent and to the point in this book An easy read, but also a very informative one. If you are new to prepping and survival then this is an excellent guide to get you started the right way. If you have been prepping for years like me it is a great read to check if you are deficient in one area or another. What I love about the writings of MD is his practical solutions and seeking out low cost items you need, but still ensuring these are of sufficient quality. This is all gear he uses, so you know it passes muster. The guy lives the self sufficient life style so he is no armchair prepper. Good stuff and money well spent.
Another great book by an author who actually lives the life he writes about. I was happy to see that this book was like the previous books I've read by this author, and not filled with fluff and unrelated anecdotes. Just good factual info on how to get from unprepared,to prepared for any emergency. Great book for beginners as well as seasoned preppers. I found some areas in my own preparedness plan that I had overlooked thanks to M.D. Creekmore.
I've been following Mr. Creekmore's blogs and emails for quite a while now. There is a lot of material out there and it's hard to find an author you can trust. I bought the .pdf version of the book before it came out and realized it was a comprehensive process of thoughts and actions to be prepared. For what, who really knows? It's your job to take care of yourself and your family under any circumstances. In this book, you'll find sensible guidelines to prepare for most any disaster or discomfort that life may throw at you. I recommend it for both reading and reference to great ideas to survive the worst of disaster.
Hello I love the book preppers guide. To start off I thought that into was very well thought out with very good examples of issues that are going on in the world today. The way I look at the book is not just survive but live I would love to have a homestead one day. Most of us have lost the ability to be self sufficient. This book has excellent points on what to use how to use it. Tools necessary for not only survival but everyday living. I think 100 yrs ago that the principals in the book were so common place how to make water drinkable. most people today take for granted something so simple as that. I do like that M.D. has done the research on what works best. Take the wheat grinder he's done testing on 3 different models. Found out what works best and gives honest opinions either way. The book is great written by MD who LIVES the life. a lot to learn if you enjoy this try the others 31 days till survival, dirt cheap survival retreat,and one of my favs the prepared preppers cookbook
This book helped me see the need to live a more prepared life. I don't know anyone who thinks the government will look out for them when times get tough. If you don't trust the government to take care of your family now, why would you think the government will take care of your family after a complete economic collapse? The message of this book is that it is your responsibility to take care of you and yours. The author hits the ground running, offering instructions on food storage, water purification, self-defense, get-home bags, medical kits. If you want the security of knowing you can provide for your family during hard times, this is a must read.
