Survival Family Basics

Survival Family Basics: The Beginner Prepper's Guide for When Disaster Strikes (Preppers Survival Handbook Series) was a free kindle book when this post was written.

Just to say Thank You for checking out this Book I want to give you a copy of my upcoming special report "The Prepper's Supplies Guide for When Disaster Strikes" Go to SurvivalFamilyBasics.com to reserve your FREE copy now.


Disasters often strike with little or no warning and can leave tremendous amount of destruction and ruin in their wake. Survivors, nevertheless; can get through even the toughest circumstances using the right information and tools. Knowing which type of disasters could affect your area will help your plan more thoroughly for the disaster.



It lurks in the back of our minds, just beyond our ability to see it-the likelihood that a tear may open up in the life's fabric without any warning-devastating a skyscraper, house or an entire civilization.



Today, almost nine out of ten Americans live in places that are at a high risk of hurricanes, earthquakes, terrorism, tornadoes or other disasters. No one knows when we have to make split second choices for ourselves and our families. How will we react in these situations? What would it feel like? These are the questions that need to be answered in order to prepare ourselves well for an emergency situation.



In Survival Family Basics-The Beginner Prepper's Guide for When Disaster Strikes Macenzie Guiver provides a practical guide for how to prepare for and react in many of life's most unpredictable situations and scenarios.



She takes you into the austere regions of your nightmares and provides you with answers to those questions people are afraid to ask while offering hope, reassurance and encouragement. It is hard to even imagine a time when you have to make some split second decisions in life-decisions that many of us are afraid to make, but the truth is that at some point in life, many of us may be confronted with such situations that force us to make such decisions.



In addition to providing proven tips and strategies on how to smartly and quickly respond to disasters like earthquakes, fires, hurricanes and floods-how to stay protected from extreme weather and stay calm and composed during these situations, the book contains step by step advice on how to prepare for, respond to and recover from disasters.


From preparing your evacuation plan to the importance of prepping for a disaster, the book includes the crucial information that you need to know to live safely through the worst. It is aimed at helping you and your family plan for a variety of emergency situations, persevere during these times, and recover when it's over. 

Black Out Curtains - A Must Have!!

This is a must have on my list of thing to have up in your home. Especially if your like me and will most likely be hunkering in if something happens. Blackout Window Curtain are a great thing to have up anyway, they don't let the hot sun in the windows in the summer and in the winter they act like a thick thermal barrier to keep cold air out.
I actually noticed our power bill go down last summer when I put ours up. Not running the AC as much. Great for us because we have no trees at all in our yard. So no shade to cool off the house. These have helped a ton. They also will come in handy during a disaster. No one can see in your house. They can't see if you are using lights, etc. Great tool to have.

When Technology Fails

When Technology Fails: A Manual for Self-Reliance, Sustainability, and Surviving the Long Emergency, 2nd Edition is my favorite book on this subject. It is super thick and stuffed full of anything and everything that you might need to know in a SHTF situation. Almost 500 pages of awesomeness! My hubby loves this book and even bought a second copy for him to keep in his rig. When he is on the road he will be prepared.


FROM THE PRODUCT PAGE:

There’s never been a better time to “be prepared.” Matthew Stein’s comprehensive primer on sustainable living skills—from food and water to shelter and energy to first-aid and crisis-management skills—prepares you to embark on the path toward sustainability. But unlike any other book, Stein not only shows you how to live “green” in seemingly stable times, but to live in the face of potential disasters, lasting days or years, coming in the form of social upheaval, economic meltdown, or environmental catastrophe.
When Technology Fails covers the gamut. You’ll learn how to start a fire and keep warm if you’ve been left temporarily homeless, as well as the basics of installing a renewable energy system for your home or business. You’ll learn how to find and sterilize water in the face of utility failure, as well as practical information for dealing with water-quality issues even when the public tap water is still flowing. You’ll learn alternative techniques for healing equally suited to an era of profit-driven malpractice as to situations of social calamity. Each chapter (a survey of the risks to the status quo; supplies and preparation for short- and long-term emergencies; emergency measures for survival; water; food; shelter; clothing; first aid, low-tech medicine, and healing; energy, heat, and power; metalworking; utensils and storage; low-tech chemistry; and engineering, machines, and materials) offers the same approach, describing skills for self-reliance in good times and bad.
Fully revised and expanded—the first edition was written pre-9/11 and pre-Katrina, when few Americans took the risk of social disruption seriously—When Technology Fails ends on a positive, proactive note with a new chapter on "Making the Shift to Sustainability," which offers practical suggestions for changing our world on personal, community and global levels.
