Basic Survival Prepping

By Kevin Trent Boswell

This guide is different from other prepper books. It doesn't try to convince you that you need to prep. It assumes you've already made that decision and want to get started. It's devoid of extremist political rhetoric, conspiracy theories, suggestions of alien invasion, or zombie apocalypse. This book is for those who understand how history repeats itself. Any side-by-side comparison of today's conditions to The Great Depression, The Dust Bowl, the fall of Rome, or the Soviet Union, reveals solid reasons for concern. Anyone smart enough to understand the cycles of economics or the rise and fall of civilizations already understands the potential dangers we face. Several world powers are already looking like civilizations that long ago crumbled and disappeared. Anyone who understands the seriousness of the climate crisis knows shortages aren't remote possibilities. It's not just Negative Nancy and Debby Downer worrying needlessly. If you embrace science, you don't need lecturing about preparing. This book is free of any Pollyanna "all is well" delusions. It's all about the general principles of prepping and the specific, technical details. If you want a chance of making it through the turbulence of future crises, this is for you. This sober, logical approach is without religious doctrines or naive expectations of everyone working together in harmony. You'll get no impractical advice about trying to survive as a lone wolf, living in the wilderness, without any prior training in hunting, fishing, foraging, or growing your food. This guide offers no false guarantees of surviving any disaster, no matter how severe it is. It doesn't promise that you'll be OK, if only you follow all of the instructions. Instead, it starts with the assumption that several of the most plausible threats we face possess the capability to wipe out huge portions (if not all) of civilization. It works backward from there, asking, "But if I could survive... how would I do it?" The essential elements of a prepping strategy are Shelter, Security, Food, Water, and Medical Care. Beliefs, assumptions, and fears about life and people weigh heavily upon our decision-making process. Whatever we assume about what will still be available in a crisis determines what we do today. Our beliefs about the future color the choices we make today. Without shelter, you are vulnerable to the elements and exposed to the dangers of desperate people. Without security, it doesn't do much good to have large stockpiles of supplies. Without food, you starve to death within two to four weeks. Without water, you die even more quickly. Without medical care, a minor injury can quickly become life-threatening. The kinds of medical emergencies that you would usually call 911 for could turn fatal when 911 is not available. This book covers tools, supplies, resources, and skills you'll need when disaster strikes. Major storms, earthquakes, floods, or tornados, learn what to do here. Learn what foods to prep, how to store them, water treatment, storage, bartering, first aid, bug out bags, wilderness survival, and the supplies to get, while there's still time. The realities of climate change, pandemics, civil and foreign wars, political and social unrest, riots, and natural disasters are looming. The time to get ready is now.
