People are born with the innate desire to survive, but sadly, many in our increasingly dependent society look to others for relief and assistance following a disaster. The fact is that help from government, family, or neighbors is often unavailable when needed most, and in the end you may have only yourself to count on. Do you know what to do and how to do it if disaster strikes?
If not, 31 Days to Survival by M. D. Creekmore (author of Dirt-Cheap Survival Retreat ) will help you prepar
$ 10.94
Sensible Book on Prepping,
This is a sensible plan for prepping. The book is divided into 31 projects designed to get your family ready for things like natural disasters, job loss and other real-world hardships. The author is right to point out that you don’t have to make six figures to get your family better prepared. All you need is some direction. And this book provides good direction.
The projects include obvious things like how to purify water, how to build a food storage, how to put together a bug out bag, and how to build snares and traps. But the projects also include areas of prepping that the beginner may not have considered, such as taking a CPR and first-aid class, getting fit so you can carry your bug out bag and getting dental and medical checkups. What I liked best about the book is the sensible suggestions for getting your spouse on board with prepping.
The author, M.D. Creekmore, is keenly aware that preppers come from all economic backgrounds. He gives suggestions for high income and middle class individuals as well as folks who are on a fixed income. The positive news is that each of us can get better prepared regardless of our financial resources. If you buy this book and do the work, you will honestly be able to say that you are better prepared today than you were yesterday. If you are serious about the safety and well being of your family, whether you are a beginner or a long-time prepper, this is a book you will not want to miss.

|Practical information in easily digestible portions,
As other reviewers have already mentioned, this book contains a lot of good information on survival prepping. So I’m not going to reiterate all of that in this review.
What I do want to highlight is the one thing that was immediately apparent to me while skimming through the book. This is the ONLY book I’ve read thus far that breaks down lists of things to acquire for each various kit/stockpile/etc that doesn’t seem to assume everyone has a seemingly unlimited budget.
I am fortunate in that I do have a pretty decent income, but even so I really appreciate the fact that for several, if not all, of these lists there are variations of each for different budgets. This alone is a great reason to buy the book.
Beyond that though, another good reason to buy this book is that it breaks things down into small manageable chunks. Despite the title, it would be unrealistic to think by the end of a month of following along the steps in this book you’ll have all of the items and knowledge you need to survive the unforeseen emergency situation. However, it will get you organized, and I believe help prioritize your prepping and buying habits so that you spend less time studying and preparing to start preparing — and more time doing and actually preparing.
Procrastination has always been one of my weaknesses, but having things laid out in the way this book does so, will help me do an end run around my procrastination and focus on necessary items to address. Additionally, it will help me stay focused on each task so that I don’t end up running in circles never sure if I’ve accomplished everything I should have.
