This prep guide helps you to be ready for natural disasters. In the area I live tornadoes and high winds are a concern that rather routinely will knock out power. As I live in a rural area we often last on the list to have our power restored. Depending on the time of year this could mean having to face below 0 temperature without a heater. That is a fate I would rather not have. Prepping is a good idea for anyone because even if you never have to use your excess food for natural disasters you can use it in cases of financial struggles or other hardships.The author gives you imperative medical advice that many prep books leave out. As the child of a doctor and nurse I know how quickly simple scrapes and abrasions that are ignored can lead to serious infections. Infections are very hard to combat against when supplies are limited. The author gives you a list of basic medicines, cleansers, and supplies that can save you or a loved one until you can get proper medical help.The author gives many great suggestions and I really enjoyed the different water purification methods included in this book. Never,ever drink untreated water. This can lead to diarrhea, dysentery, and other nasty diseases that can quickly immobilize and kill you. Two thirds of the deaths of the American Civil War were caused by disease in order to show you how serious this tip can be.
