I already have a kit and a stocked pantry. Do I need this?

Good, that covers the first weeks. This book starts where kits and stockpiles stop: making water, preserving food, handling sanitation, treating illness and organizing the people around you once supplies run low.

Isn't this a bit paranoid?

It works like insurance for the people in your house. Jim Cobb writes in a calm, practical voice with no conspiracy talk and no end-times predictions, and the last chapter is about hope and rebuilding.

Is it just basic stuff?

It's written for households that are ready for a few weeks and want a plan for the months after. Seasoned preppers will know some of it. Every topic ends with a suggested reading list so you can go deeper where you need to.

I rent and don't have land. Will it work for me?

Yes. It's written mainly for suburban and town households, with plenty of low-cost and no-cost ideas you can start in an apartment or a small yard.

Is this a gun book?

No. Security is one chapter of twelve. Water, food, medicine and sanitation come first, and the book argues that neighbors who work together outlast anyone hiding alone.

Does it teach me to build solar or off-grid power?

It covers heating, cooling and cooking without power, plus the tools to keep a house running. It isn't a solar wiring manual; the reading list points you to dedicated off-grid power books.

Who wrote it?

Jim Cobb, who has studied, practiced and taught preparedness for about 30 years. He writes for American Survival Guide, Survivor's Edge and OFFGRID. It's published by Ulysses Press.

"Ready For Two Weeks. Now I Have A Plan For Month Two"

We sat through the 2021 freeze for five days and I thought we'd learned our lesson. This showed me that everything we stocked would run out around the same week. The water chapter alone changed what's on my garage shelves.

"Finally Knew Where To Start"

I had a half-built kit and a folder of checklists I never finished. This gave me the order: water, food, medicine. I marked up the 7-page checklist on a Sunday, and my husband stopped calling it my doomsday project.

"The Book My Grandson And I Actually Use"

I'm the one the family would show up to. I read it in an afternoon, then spent Saturdays with my grandson building a water filter and planning the garden beds. Calm and practical, with none of the end-of-the-world talk.

Your Emergency Kit Has An End Date. This Plan Starts There.

Kits and stockpiles are built to last until help arrives. This book is built for day 31 and every day after: making water, preserving food, treating illness and keeping the house running.

The Generator Doesn't Make Water. The Book Shows What Does.

When the power stays off long enough, town pumps stop and so do taps and toilets. Chapter 2 covers finding, filtering and storing water, and chapter 5 covers the sanitation nobody stockpiles for.

Readers finish it in an afternoon. Then the 7-page checklist turns it into a plan the whole family can follow.
