Making the Best of Basics: Family Preparedness Handbook

Rating:
Summary: WARNING WARNING WARNING!
Review: This book is helpful in many ways, but DO NOT use his numbers for the amount of food to store per person, unless you are feeding a professional football player in training. He mixed up the USDA recommmended amounts for the average family of 2.3 people, and used that figure for one person.. WE actually figured it out, and you would have to eat something like 10,000 calories per day to eat those amounts. Look at it carefully. How many people use 10 gallons of oil per person per year?

Summary: Wonderfully thorough!
Review: This book truly is a preparation 'Handbook'! I so appreciate the wide margins, allowing for handwritten notes, and the list of websites on the subject. I am impressed with Mr. Stevens exhaustive research and incredibly detailed directions. I have had it for a week and it is already getting dog-eared with use! Definitely a must for anyone just beginning a food-storage for their family.
