The Prepper's Blueprint: The Step-By-Step Guide To Help You Through Any Disaster

Short version: Congrats! If you're considering this book it means you've realized that you need to get your shite together, and this book is a great place for you to start. I bought my copy in 2014 and have given several as gifts. It's the only preparedness book I've ever given as a gift. I came back here to look for a Kindle version (just for convenience) as I want to go through the book again and fill in any weak spots in my plans. You should buy it. Long version: The world is a very different place than it was when I first bought this book in 2014. The pandemic, hurricanes, droughts, ice storms, etc, and now even possibly a world war have opened people's eyes to the necessity of becoming more self reliant. This book walks you through step by step, preparing you for whatever natural disasters are most likely to occur in your corner of the universe, as well as any man made calamities that might be thrown our way. You can go through the book and follow her steps 1 week at a time or go at your own pace. My advice is to go as quickly as you can financially afford to go, given the state of things currently. As another reviewer mentions, the author has a great website. I agree with their advice to check out the website first, and buy the book if you like what you see. (Assume some day the interwebs might fail you and get a physical version of any resource you might have to rely upon. (See? already you're prepping!) Over the years I've built up a pretty good library in this genre, and this book, along with the author's website, are great resources. I recommend them highly.

After several months of reading reviews on this book I was intrigued enough to make the purchase. It is a very good buy and offers a ton of information on being prepared for those things in life that most people don't prepare for. This is a hard copy (paperback) of a book of information everyone needs to know to survive any major disaster. This isn't just for an end of the world scenario but for real time, real world disasters, be it earthquakes, weather, solar flares or nuclear Armageddon. A hard copy means you won't be stuck with a dead battery on a phone or tablet that has information on it. Normal, everyday common sense should tell you that the rule of three's is what will end life as we know it. Three minutes without air, three days without potable water or three weeks without food is what will kill off mankind as we know it. Hurricane Katrina proved it on a small scale. What if the power grid fails. Pick a reason, be it a solar flair, a computer attack, a failure of equipment or whatever else causes it, the result is the same. In three days the grocery stores are empty and deliveries are not being made. You cannot access your money. Gas stations stop pumping gas when they run out or the generators fail. Three days after the food stops arriving at the Winn Dixie, the chaos begins. Although 80% of the population will expect the government to arrive and feed them and to save them, Hurricane Katrina proves that those 80% will die sitting on the curb waiting for the government to arrive or in the unrest and anarchy that comes with hunger, thirst and the need to feed your children and family. This book will help you to prepare for almost every scenario and put you in the protected class. Preparing for the governments failure to be able to save everyone is only doing what you grandparents and their parents did on a daily basis. You protect your kids, yourself and your family from the horror of a world out of control. Step back two or three generations and be as prepared as your grandparents and their parents were. This book gets you to where you need to be and helps you prepare for any possibility. Prepper means prepared. Be prepared to protect your family from whatever may happen in the future.

I like how this is written, in a logical progression for the beginning prepper (like me) to follow. I want to start by preparing for a short term emergency, and when I've done that then I'll work on prepping for a long term disaster event, and then later I'll try to get ready for one of the many possible life changing things that really do happen in the world. And that's what this book helps to do. I'm going to be going back to this resource repeatedly for a very long time. When it arrived, I was surprised at how big and heavy it is, but it's easy to read, not intimidating at all. The author has also been directly accessible for answering questions. The only negative I can say is there are numerous typographical errors (spelling, punctuation, a word missing, an extra word added), but nothing worse than you see on the major news websites, for example. I'm just nit-picking because there is nothing else bad to say about it. You can still always tell exactly what she's saying in spite of this. The beginning prepper can quickly become overwhelmed by the amount of information out there, and you can waste a lot of time. So trust me, start with this book! She could be charging double the price and I would say the same thing. This is the longest review I've ever made for any product I've bought on Amazon, and that's because it's one of the best - and most important - purchases I've ever made.

A must have for those who are awake. Never too much info.

Great book at a very reasonable price. I have been "prepping" for years and thought I had a good knowledge of what was needed and how to do it. This excellent book gave me a brand new insight and so many new ideas. This book contains so much information and is laid out in a really informative and easy to read format. It is also quite large with over 450 A4 pages. Recommended purchase.

Great book, should be required reading for everybody. Do yourself a favor & pick up a copy.
