Lots of useful preparedness tips. Some of the tips I feel like you would need to do a bit more research on to really make work, but lots of food for thought and basics, too. Lots of things you hope you never need to know. And a good review of basic safety you probably already know, but a review now and then is helpful.

Since the invasion of Ukraine is raging on, books on survival are becoming more relevant for me due to the proximity to the conflict and the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant. The only drawback of the book is that it is mainly designed for US audiences and some of the tips and advice given are not easily applicable to other areas. But I found a lot of interesting and useful advice on what to do, what I need and how to establish priorities in cases of catastrophic events. A good starting point for anyone because the author is absolutely right when he points out the total loss of survival skills in modern people, especially city dwellers. Having survival skills reminded me of the Japanese quote on katanas - you better carry one every day, even if you'll probably not need it, because one day it might save your life.

Haven't finished reading all of this--it isn't a book to read and is instead a reference of sorts--but it is a great source for emergency preparedness. The book is written for casual readers and those not too knowledgeable about emergencies, survival, and the like. I fall into that category and feel it provides very good info. I don't expect the world to fall apart any time soon, nor do I expect a zombie apocalypse ;), but I do feel low probability events like tornados, electricity grid failures, and the like may happen once in a life. So I am interested in being prepared for such situations and this book is a very good stating point.
In addition to colourful, clear illustrations explaining things, the book is printed on relatively durable paper and has metal corner tabs on the cover to protect it. During a survival scenario, I can see one flipping through this book. Obviously one would have read and implemented some of the suggestions ahead of time, but others may be too complicated to remember.
Overall, I highly recommend this book to everyone who hasn't given any thought to emergency preparedness these knowledgeable May find the book a bit basic though).You can find the info scattered throughout the internet for free but this book brings everything together in one place. If you don have a first aid kit already set up, or don't know why a space blanket is very useful to have, or even want to learn how to start a fire, this is the book for you.

The Prepare for Anything Survival Manual is jam packed with valuable, life saving skills, gear, and survival techniques. I found the book much easier (and more fun) to read than say the US Army Survival Manual. The book is also laid out in a manner that allows you to jump to different sections that you are most interested in learning. Anyone who is worried about being prepared for a disaster or emergency should grab a copy and read up.

It is what it is. This isn’t really a book you’d want to read as entertainment. However, it does have a lot of useful tips and hints for general preparation. Most are applicable for many emergency situations. It’s never a bad idea to be prepared.

A really good emergency resource guide. I wish I could memorize everything in this book but will have to be content using it as a reference guide.
This is not just a guide for "preppers" but is so much more.

Super!
Even if you're not preparing for the end of days, this book is a true catch all for making sure you have the basics for getting through a tough time. Even if just roughing it in the wild for a couple of days, this is great info.

Not just for 'survival' ...

really good book especially for beginning preppers. As the book covers three main categories of gear, skills, and survival. I really enjoyed the section on skills.

I learned so many new techniques. I have greatly enjoyed this wonderful reference book and is a must have in any prepper/survivalists library.

A good book because of the variety of topics. Nevertheless lots of topics needs a better explaination to be performed correctly.

This book gives a basic overview of a lot of skills that are useful in general, not just for "doomsday prepping."
