This is the absolute best preparedness book, ever, for average people in urban, suburban and rural areas. I’ve been following Lisa Bedford’s “SurvivalMom” blog for a couple of years, pre-ordered this book and devoured it after it arrived. The comprehensive and well-organized guidance can take a person from zero preparedness to eclipsing 95{660353129f8d892044c993645a1c75194301fec6786a7f617c15adde0b0011e9} of the population with just one trip to the grocery store and a couple hours shopping on the Internet. Today I’m ordering copies for my sister and a couple friends who live near the Cascadia Subduction Zone in the Pacific Northwest and recommending on Facebook for everyone else. Really terrific contribution to promoting and facilitating preparedness. This book is obviously a project of an exceptionally detailed-oriented person who has devoted years to assembling the latest, most useful information in an accessible, efficient manner. The author also helpfully relates her personal experiences in going from a mom focused on getting her family through normal everyday life to one steeped in emergency preparedness scenarios and practical strategies for persevering (comfortably, if possible) through events ranging from routine power outages to being stranded on the road as well as longer-term situations. She also does not shy away from matters usually associated with survivalists — such as the need to not just be able to feed and shelter but also to be prepared to defend oneself and family. The Survival Mom book coupled with wilderness survival knowledge would put someone way ahead of the game (she briefly touches on some wilderness skills — like fire-starters — but does not, for instance, tell how to build a teepee, trap game or do other hard-core wilderness skills — there are plenty of other books on those subjects). In sum, this book is a great value and a keeper.

|If you like the Survival Mom web site, you’ll really enjoy this book!!!,
Living in California about 5 miles from the Hayward and San Andreas fault, you’ve got to think about the “what ifs”. Think it can’t happen to you? Think again…. I used to live in Michigan where an ice storm has taken out the power for 2 weeks in the dead of winter. No matter where you live, the unexpected can happen.
“Survival Mom” covers the basics including food storage, water purification, financial and medical preparedness and communication during a crisis. It goes way beyond the basics, however, with the addition of charts, checklists and worksheets to help you stay organized.
A great way to get ready for that 6.5 to 7.5 quake we know will happen someday in San Francisco.

|Top Notch Survival Manual,
I received an advanced copy from the publisher and I’ve got to say, this book does an outstanding job of filling a long standing need – a survival book for your typical homemaker. I have an entire floor-to-ceiling bookshelf full of survival books and my wife hates every one of them. This book however, is something she would sit down and read! Reading the book, it is immediate evident that it was written by a mom for moms. Not that men can’t read it, it reads just fine for me, but it is very different in its tone and presentation.
If you’ve been wanting to get your wife more involved in preparedness then get her this book! She might finally understand what you’ve been going on about!
