Prepper Beginner's Guide: How To Prep Your Ultimate Bug Out Bag for Disaster Survival by Alexa Baccardi is a short book yet full of useful information that can save your life. The author covers the basics and includes topics such as: Bug out bag, shelter, water, fire, food, first aid kit, tools, protection, and bug out products. I like that the author stresses to carry extra food as a lot of other books state you don't need food because you can survive 30 days without it. Yet, without food you will function poorly and it will impact your cognitive functioning. The author also states to carry a tourniquet which is left out of many books as well. Some of the information is based on the author's direct experience and provide insight that is valuable and too often left out of other books on this topic. While not every little piece of gear is covered the main items are covered.Overall Assessment:Prepper Beginner's Guide: How To Prep Your Ultimate Bug Out Bag for Disaster Survival by Alexa Baccardi is a very good start for a beginner to obtain useful information on building a bug out bag. I recommend this book as a good starting point.Also Recommended:Realistic Bug Out Bagby Gunner Morgan. This is the best book I have found to date on bug out bags.
