I found this book very helpful and informative. It's not completely comprehensive for every kind of disaster or SHTF scenario, but it is a great overview of preparedness basics. The author has lots of tips to do things in resourceful, inexpensive ways and to plan ahead before something happens. I will keep this book handy for later reference. ( )

This book is a cheap, cargo pocket-sized introduction to preparing for a disaster. With 101 easy tips, Bernie Carr takes the reader through dozens of simple ways you can start preparing today.

This guide covers a variety of disaster scenarios, and one of its benefits is that the author does not assume an end-of-the-world scenario. Carr offer suggestions for hurricanes, earth quakes, and power outages alongside tips on how to prepare a bug-out bag and a long-term survival plan. The book will help you now matter how big a disaster you want to prepare for.

I give this only four stars because of the book's brevity and generality. This is a great introduction to the topic, but it is not sufficient for all your prepping needs. Once you read this book, you'll be eager to start learning more. This will only whet your appetite. ( )
