[Teresa · Rating 1 out of 5]

OMG!
Stupidity at its most extreme
1) Do not discuss personal or family business with anyone not directly involved
2)Do not trust a politician or bureaucrats word or promise
3) Never give your real name when purchasing survival-supplies
4)Never let strangers into your home
5) Do not turn your back on an unlocked door or window
6) Do not use your street address on any of your ID’s or mail. Use a P.O. Box as much as you can
7)Do not keep all your money or valuables in the same bank. Have several bank accounts under different names
8)Never rely on someone else doing anything correctly or on time
9)Do not have important mail sent to your house
10)Always set your alarm and lock your garage when leaving your home.

Number 10 is normal and number 7 will get you arrested! Let’s make up names for bank accounts!,, and always face your windows and doors... I almost peed laughing.

Some good ideas, a good book to have on my Kindle for future reference when needed.

As someone who hasn’t prepped before, I thought this book was interesting, well organized and easy to understand. The book also has information on how to reduce your “footprint“ to conserve both personal and world resources.

[Stephen · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is one of the best comprehensive books I've read in a long time. It covers just about anything a new prepper could want to know and a lot that would be great for someone looking into living off the grid. Whether hiking, camping, or stuck in the middle of nowhere during an ice storm and power outage, this book has good ideas for the reader.

This guide provides basic information on how to survive in several disaster situations discussing food, shelter, and medical emergencies. This is a good basic beginner's guide.
