Basic Preparedness: A "How-To" Guide for Preparedness & Self-Reliant Living

Rating:
Summary: Best basic preparedness book so far!
Review: I found Basic Preparedness to do just that. It covered the basics of getting prepared for most any emergency and also had the charts and graphs to guide me for longer term storage programs. Besides covering the four basics of survival - food, water, medical, shelter - it also went into how to use food storage, make your own soap, butcher game, split fire wood and how to buy your land in the country.In these times of earth changes and strange weather it really is a good Idea to "Be Prepared"

Summary: Very, very basic.....perhaps too much so
Review: This book is a collection of recipes, down-home-isms, and basic common-sense stuff. If you already have your feet on the ground, save your money. On the other hand, if you're flighty, insecure, and fearful, this book may be just the thing for you.

Summary: Better Than Basic
Review: This collection of recipes, down-home-isms, and basic common-sense stuff is great to have if you're not acquainted with rural living and lack essential knowledge to relocate outside a high population area in emergencies. It's well organized with sound advice for the beginner.
