I just got this book yesterday and have almost finished it.While I hope the day never comes that we need the things we gather, it is always sensible to prepare for possible shortages and outages.I haven't finished the book yet, but I am loving it. While I knew about some of the items in here, there have been many things I had not thought about, and have already put on my shopping list. We have a TINY place, so hardly any storage, but everyone can do something! If I had a basement, I would definitely be implementing a whole lot more.I love the writing style of Mr. Wilson - it is like you are sitting across the table and having a chat with a friend.If you are concerned about being at the mercy of an extended power outage or even storm damage, I encourage you to get this book and think about what your family might need, should something big happen. Your family's needs will be unique, yet the basics are things everyone will want to know.(I know we got stuck out on a farm once with no electricity for a WEEK, thanks to a storm. Even their toilets flushed via electricity (it worked the pump), so boy was THAT an eye-opening experience about our dependence on electricity these days!And as a side note - the e-book version will be convenient, but should your tablet run out of battery power and you want to look something up, you won't be able to. I bought the print version, and glad I did! I'll have it ready to reference as needed should the time come.Grab a highlighter, sit down with your beverage of choice, and get ready for some thought-provoking scenarios and things you can do to make sure your family is as prepared as possible, should either a natural disaster or a man-made crisis occur.Thank you Mr. Wilson for putting together some very basic information about which every family should be thinking.
As someone who believes that everyone should do some sort of prepping, I would recommend this book for people who are on the fence when it comes to prepping. There is a lot of good, cheap tips in here that anyone could use and not break the bank doing so. If you only get one or two ideas from this book then it will have more than paid for itself when that time comes and you have to use your preps.So often there are things that we take for granted in our society today from food items like salt to things like heat and warmth. I also liked Cal's ideas on reusing things that we consider trash and things that other people don't want.
This is the single most valuable book I've read on prepping to date Mr. Wilson doesn't use fear, rather a calm, sensible approach. He spoke of many things in a practical manner: weapons to use if you don't have (handy) a gun, buying things I never would have thought of for barter, what kind of rechargeable batteries he recommends and a solar panel which recharges them (and my Kindle), flashlights he recommends, tools to pick up as you see them etc. I finished the book feeling more confident I can be ready for the future (and a shopping list for the next several months to help me do so).
This is probably the best book I have read on the subject. I highly recommend this to anyone that wants to be prepared for the future, whatever might come. From cars to effective toilet paper replacement, everything is in this book! It is also well written and formatted. Highly recommended!
Probably one of the most realistic books I've read on the subject of prepping. Nice to see someone leave Hollywood right at the door and talk about this subject in a realistic way. The way things are going in this world these days, I highly encourage anyone who wants to take care of themselves and their families when (God forbid) if you know what really hits the fan, at least you'll know what to do. A great read and a must have for pretty much all of us.
I guess you can say I'm a new-bee with SHTF. So I found this very insightful. And saw things that I would never think of. Even saw a recipe I might try with a Dutch oven. I would recommend and glad I downloaded it. Probably should buy a real copy because if there is a disaster might not be able to use my iPad.
I've never been a "Preeper" for the worst, but with all that's happening in our country I picked up this book to suggest some items I can stock up on. Yes this simple plan could help in times of need and helps me see the reason why keeping my own stock pile might be the difference in how successful we will be. I now have seeds and I'm prepping my garden storing items. Well written and great suggestions.
This preppers guide is an amazing book for storage items and in case of emergencies. I didn’t like what the author says about addictions, but the rest of the book was great. Useful advice about water storage, containers, and other items you can use for storage are all throughout the book, as well as advice on batteries, non-gun weapons, and other cheap, healthy survival stuff. Great book to read through when you’re putting a kit or space together like that.
