My
prepper library mostly consists of ebooks stashed away in an SD card and cloud
storage. This is an absolute must for all of us urban preppers since storage
space is somewhat lacking. Don’t get me wrong, print books are still my
preferred material but we have to be selective about what we acquire at the
moment.
The
Prepper's Pocket Guide: 101 easy things you can do to ready your home for a disaster is ideal
for new preppers since you can use it as a
quickie reference guide. The chapters are well organized and the
information easily digested. For the
seasoned preppers the information in the book will definitely be too basic but
for noobs like myself, it’s a handy tool
to keep on the shelf (it doesn’t take much room either).
Topics
include budget food stockpiling and storage, water, hygiene, bug out bag, how to assemble an emergency dental kit (I
actually need to do this), learn to make a gel pack (on my ‘need to try’ list),
teaching children about prepping, etc.
I’m
essentially going to be using this as a checklist of sorts. It’s easy to miss the most obvious details at
times and this helps me figure out what aspects of preparedness I need to
devote more time on. It doesn’t go into a whole lot of depth, so if you’re
looking for something that is loaded with details then this is not the book for
you.
This
book is ideal for: new preppers, younger readers, busy people (it’s a quick
read!), and all of you book nerds who are always looking to expand your prepper
home library.
I give
it 4 out of 5 stars: Appropriate content for what it is – it’s a prepper pocket
guide. Don’t expect an encyclopedia of knowledge. It’s a great pocket
guide. The design and layout of the book
is also quite appealing. An
attention-grabbing cover, some b/w illustrations inside, and fonts (yes, fonts are important) all work
well together to make it into a cohesive package.
Note: I
have a quickie video review of this which still needs to be edited. Will update
this post with the video embed when it's ready. =)
