by David Pearson

Unexpected Doesn't Have To Mean Unprepared.In today's fragile economic, political, environmental and social climate it's easy to see the necessity for becoming more self reliant.  Disasters such as Hurricane Katrina, the Japan earthquake and nuclear disaster, and the Boston bombing have relayed to us again and again that no one is left untouched in tragedies such as these.  Like the butterfly effect, disaster affects us all on a global scale, further bringing home the importance of having a plan, and making preparations to keep ourselves and our loved ones safe.  It is simply a matter of defining what you feel is important for you to prepare for in the event of an emergency, whether it be something as simple and basic as taking measures to prepare for an unexpected power outage, your vehicle breaking down, job loss, or illness. It may also include environmental preparations for fire, flood, or earthquake.  This book will help you to rethink your back up plans or create new ones should you not already have measures in place.Don't have a Kindle?

Have you ever thought about what you would do if (when?) the zombie apocalypse occurred? Where would you go? How would you survive?

Whether it's zombies or a more real-world threat you're worried about, David Pearson's The Essential Guide to Prepping is an excellent beginner's guide on the basic preparations for surviving an extreme event. He adequately covers topics such as how to reinforce your own home or to find shelter if you're on the move, what types of food you should stock, and how to store and/or find potable water. Pearson also covers a check-list of what to include in your basic "survival" first-aid kit that goes beyond the expected band-aids, pain killers, and Neosporin. In addition to these basic necessities, Pearson also includes some other interesting and important tips:

• Brush your teeth (and beware of sugary energy bars). Can you imagine having a terrible toothache with no access to a dentist?
• Buy (and take!) vitamins and minerals. Chances are you won't be able to eat balanced meals so be sure to have a pack of vitamins ready and available.
• Holistic remedies for headaches, stomach aches, itchiness and other common ailments.

The Essential Guide to Prepping is a very basic guide great for someone who has a peripheral interest in "prepping" and wants an overview. Pearson states right away in the introduction, and mentions a few times throughout the text, that in order to successfully prep, one will need to reference more detailed resources for topics like eating plants in the wild, medical care, and weapons and firearms.

When I first saw this book I thought it was just for preppers, but I was surprised that it actually had survival tips too. This book was one of the best prepping books I have read so far in my life. I am not a prepper and I was surprised on how much I enjoyed the book. I didn’t want it to end, but it’s nice because it’s not too short, not too long, and provides great information. Some of the facts he mentioned were interesting and I am so glad I picked up this book. I would read this book again and again, and probably learn something new every time. I recommend this to adults and teens. Even if you’re not a prepper, but you like/love reading survival type books, this book is for you.
