 Rating: - Tons of survival information!!I've had time to read select chapters of this book, and one thing is for sure, there is tons of information on being prepared in a crisis situation.

The remaining 100+ pages discuss things like clothing/bedding; Heat, cooking and light, Medical/dental; sanitation/personal care; communication, etc. There are more than 2 dozen checklists which are very comprehensive and detailed. In my opinion these checklists combined ...

As a nurse I feel this information is critical to overall health as he includes the number of calories needed per age. He also recommends that you store a variety of foods as well as 'treat' foods to compensate for a change in your diet that might eliminate our fast food habits. This book will guide you in ...
