Editorial Reviews

Review

I'm new to all of this. This guide offered basic insight to help me understand the hows, whys, and ways to prepare. I look forward to further in depth research into the content offered in this book. Most importantly, I read this with my grown kids so we could begin to build a family plan.

From the Author

52 Preppers Projects started the series, it came from my attempts to learn to prepare cheaply while building my skills. I took projects from this website and enhanced the instructions while adding pictures.

The idea behind the book was to give weekly projects that build skill while building preparedness.

It is probably my most popular book (Beside the Spanish Edition of the Ultimate Guide to Pepper Spray), and sells more than most of the others combined.

It was one of my most enjoyable books to write, as I had a lot of fun going through old posts and projects and deciding which ones to expand on and then recreating some of my favorite projects so I could properly photograph the steps.

I tried to keep the projects simple, but still have enough to keep a more advanced prepper engaged with the material. I know in the process I took to learn the basics of disaster preparedness I could have used a book like this - which, incidentally is why I wrote it.

He doesn’t teach from a high academic pedestal, spouting what he once heard somewhere, or spend the majority of class time with war stories designed to stroke ego. He spends class time teaching what he knows works and passing on both what is needed to know to get the job done.

5.0 out of 5 stars Anyone and everyone can benefit by this book
Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2014

Its an excellent reference manual and just a very fun read. I have done some of the projects, and for someone new to wanting to live more prepared for anything from power outages to full blow evacuations, this is a must read.

It is presented in a way that does not try to convince you to become a full out-and-out "prepper" but it does make you think about living with no preparations in mind, and gives an unprepared person a very easy system to achieve a level of preparedness without breaking the bank. Some excellent time and cost saving projects will help anyone new to the idea of self reliance get started in the best ways and help prevent oversights in your planning.

I Highly recommend this book.

3.0 out of 5 stars This book has a place, but not what it claims
Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2015
Verified Purchase
This book does have a place in some people's libraries. It is a good basic starting point, and I will use a few parts of it to teach Boy Scouts some basic skills, but it is not what it claims to be at all. I really purchased it because it claims, "Make a ceramic drip water filter." I assumed, since the author is a self-proclaimed preparedness MacGyver, that I would be taking apart some ball point pens and filing down bicycles. But that chapter actually says, "Go buy a ceramic filter," then is a copy and paste from the instruction pamphlet that would come with that filter. I made a bio filter out of a sun tea jar and common landscaping materials... I was sorta hoping to up my game, but that is not what happened here.

Most of his instructions are vague and hard to follow; the vast majority of them refer you to other books or websites. If you want to start prepping and are looking for a base to start, this is an alright book to give you some leads. If you are looking for real knowledge, I suggest "Naked into the Wilderness" by John McPherson or the "SAS Survival Guide" by John 'Lofty' Wiseman.

As a newbie prepper, I've always found starting-up somewhat difficult, because a lot of other authors assume you "just know," and only vaguely address the beginner. This book lays-out a plan to get you started, with shopping-lists and projects. I'm impressed.
