Many people seem to be preparing for the worst. That’s because the world we live in seems increasingly unsafe, unstable and uncertain. Somehow, by the grace of God, we haven’t had a doomsday scenario. But, as we’re all too aware, anything can happen.
A number of good books have been written with preppers in mind.
How do you start to prepare to become more self sufficient, when, for a couple of generations, at least, we’ve become increasingly reliant upon large grocery stores and a fragile transportation network?
One good step is to learn how to do more for yourself, how to grow food, store food and use basic first-aid and even more advanced medical care, if we truly entered a phase where emergency rooms were not open, and doctors were nowhere to be found. If we live in a cold climate, we’d also need an alternate form of energy to heat our homes in the winter.
Fortunately, a number of books have been written by experienced survival experts, so you can learn how to live in all sorts of circumstances.
Personal Family Survival Manual
The title of this book says it all, and is based upon the National Geographic Channel’s series on Doomsday Preppers. Most valuable in this book are the many illustrations that show you what to do, if the need strikes. You can also learn a lot from the many tips by people profiled, who’ve taken drastic measures to allow themselves to live off the grid. During an emergency event, a handy paperback will be invaluable.
