Been watching the "Doomsday Preppers" show on TV? Well, this handy little guide will help you get started with your own preparations. Not only is it easy to read, it is also small and light so you could consider it an essential reference guide for your bug-out kit.
There are separate sections on food, weapons, water, how to pack, what to take, and how to go to the bathroom. It is really only an overview so the actual prepper would need to return multiple times to the library to find out how to really can food, start fires, make an outhouse etc. But on the bright side, it does point a novice prepper in the right direction so that they don't just pack some candy and their cd's and leave wearing flip flops.
A further, but much more subtle use for this book is to inspire hoarders. Yes, there is a hoarding connection. Apparently, preppers are secretly hoarders, but they feel like they only collect "good stuff" like bullets, knives, food, wood, toilet paper, alcohol, water, bleach, and plastic bags. Yes, plastic bags - like from Walmart or Schnuck's. They plan to use them to bury bathroom waste. I can just see that working really well.
So, if you want to be prepared for any doomsday scenario, read this book and then go buy some duct tape. (and make sure to keep the plastic bag!)
So is this why you have been digging that 10X10 hole in your backyard?
