Book excerpt: WHAT WOULD YOU DO IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION IF A DISASTER STRUCK? The fact is, not many people are prepared for survival if a disaster struck. We often see natural disasters in the news and there is always a time delay between the occurrence and help arriving; quite often that timescale is the difference between living or dying. Therefore, being able to sustain yourself, your family and pets is something we should consider and take action in order to increase the chances of survival. This book "Prepper Essentials," by author, Jim Jackson, is the complete toolkit for your needs. The chapters clearly lay out how to manage your water and food needs, how to create a first-aid kit and finally how to handle pets, at a time when they will be confused and stressed too. As the old saying goes, "By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail" - Benjamin Franklin. This book helps with that preparation and is a must-read for those interested in stockpiling and survival in general.
