If you have any concerns about bad things happening and want to be prepared for most anything. This is the book you want to have to get yourself ready. It covers all the things you need to think about to make sure you have food, water and ammo you or your family will need during an emergency.

This book is a very detailed and concise lesson on prepardness. The author breaks the steps down into major topics then goes into detail not only explaining what you need, but why you need it. You could go out and buy several books to get the information that is contained in this one book.
Post Katrina, it is clear to the enlightened, that everyone has a responsibility to care for their families and their neighbors. This book is a "cheat sheet" for prepardness.
There will always be those who live in denial and refuse to believe that disaster, natural or man-made, can happen to them. Because of that denial they have to attack this book and those who agree with it's message to preserve their illusion.
They will be the ones standing on their roof's yelling "help me" to overwhelmed or non-existent resources.

Great read... easy to follow, written for a neophyte with information an expert can use. One of the best survival/prepping books I've read. This is the technical side of "Patriots"...
