Preparedness for your way of life: A guide to helping you get through the most likely events you may face in your life.

In today’s unpredictable world, disaster can strike with little or no warning, natural disasters, utility failures, pandemics, unrest, or sudden personal emergencies such as home repair, car accidents, house fire, death or even illness. Preparedness for Your Way of Life is your comprehensive, no-nonsense guide to protecting yourself, your family, and your way of life when the unexpected happens.

Written from decades of hands-on experience in self-reliance, emergency planning, and practical preparedness, this book goes far beyond the typical “beans, bullets, and bandages” advice.
