Product Description
Always Be Prepared
What if your life was disrupted by a natural disaster, food or water supply contamination, or any other type of emergency? Do you have the essentials for you and your family? Do you have a plan in the event that your power, telephone, water and food supply are cut off for an extended amount of time? What if there were no medical or pharmaceutical services available for days, weeks, or months? How prepared are you?
With this guide by your side, you and your family will learn how to plan, purchase, and store a three-month supply of all the necessities—food, water, fuel, first-aid supplies, clothing, bedding, and more—simply and economically. In other words, this book may be a lifesaver.
Inside you'll find 10 steps to an affordable food storage program plus how to:
Prepare a home "grocery store" and "pharmacy"
Use what you store and store what you use
Store water safely and provide for sanitation needs
Create a first-aid kit, car kit, and 72-hour emergency kit for the whole family
And many more invaluable hints and tips
"This clear, concise, step-by-step program is not only affordable and doable, it's essential in these uncertain times. Now, everyone from apartment dwellers to basement owners can store a three-month supply of the essentials, including peace of mind!" — Joni Hilton, author of Once-a-Week Cooking Plan and Cooking Secrets My Mother Never Taught Me

 A great mix... December 11, 2008
Anyone can buy a case of MRE's an say they are prepared for an emergency. What happens when those MRE's expire?
This book provides plan to make preparedness an easily managed day-to-day activity. It is extremely applicable to a wide range of readers. Everyone from the hard-core survivalist concerned about communist or alien invasion to the factory worker concerned about the security of their job could learn something from this book.
I fall into the middle between these two extremes.
The most valuable part of this book is the development of an at-home "supermarket". The essence of this plan is to buy what you use regularly in higher quantities, and begin a first-in first-out rotation of the products you buy. When times get lean start to use up the supplies that you have stockpiled. It sounds simple in theory, but this book really helps define the nitty-gritty of the practice of such a storage plan.
There are other sections of this book regarding long term storage of grains and legumes that was less important to me, but some readers may find valuable. Also, a list of recipes using the staples stored is presented and some lists of non-food items that would help in a disaster situation are presented.
The main takeaway from this book is the implementation of a rotation system to buy what is commonly used and methods for long-term storage of foodstuffs. This book is highly recommended.

It is a wonderful book. The contents have been put together really well. Heed it's contents because we never know when something may happen and we will use this information. Store what you eat and eat what you store.
What every family should know! October 20, 2008
Having the piece of mind and knowing you have done everything you can do provide for your family in case of an emergency is priceless. This book is great for that very purpose. Everything a family should know and consider. Whether you have huricanes, earthquakes or tornados, this book gives information on what to store and how much. As well as what is most important. A great read.

Love this book and it really gives you great details on how and what to store,even an inventory sheet and planning guides. With the trend of hyperinflation we need to be sensible and start this program now to be prepared in the future no matter what is to come we will be able to help those that depend on us and people around us due to being prepared. Every family should have a copy of this book.
