Customer Reviews

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. I have come to the conclusion that I am not prepared at all, and I do have a Emergency Evacuation Kit. I feel that to be as prepared as this book details, you would have needed to start gathering items 20 years ago and would have spent thousands of dollars in doing so. This book is very infomative, but you will need to decide what you think your most imminent crises would be, and then tailor your kit to that. In reading this book, I feel that the things I have prepared would be very inadequate at best. All in all, I would recommend this book for a detailed list of supplies to have on the ready.

Nothing on zombies
Good book but unfortunatly has nothing to teach us about the impending Zombie Apocalypes.

My freinds... that is the true danger facing mankind today.

An in-depth and informative book
This book is extremely well thought out, researched and written. Mr. Spigarelli has left almost no stone unturned in laying out a survival storage system for food, water, and other aspects of both short and long term personal storage.

Of the half dozen or so I have read, this book is absolutely the best. I have given copies to my family members and I highly recommend it.
