What Others Say
Tons of survival information!!
I've had time to read select chapters of Crisis Preparedness Handbook: A Complete Guide to Home Storage and Physical Survival, and one thing is for sure, there is tons of information on being prepared in a crisis situation. I have come to the conclusion that I am not prepared at all, and I do have a Emergency Evacuation Kit. I feel that to be as prepared as Crisis Preparedness Handbook: A Complete Guide to Home Storage and Physical Survival details, you would have needed to start gathering items 20 years ago and would have spent thousands of dollars in doing so. Crisis Preparedness Handbook: A Complete Guide to Home Storage and Physical Survival is very infomative, but you will need to decide what you think your most imminent crises would be, and then tailor your kit to that. In reading Crisis Preparedness Handbook: A Complete Guide to Home Storage and Physical Survival, I feel that the things I have prepared would be very inadequate at best. All in all, I would recommend Crisis Preparedness Handbook: A Complete Guide to Home Storage and Physical Survival for a detailed list of supplies to have on the ready. ... Read More
Nothing on zombies
Good book but unfortunatly has nothing to teach us about the impending Zombie Apocalypes.
My freinds... that is the true danger facing mankind today.
An in-depth and informative book
Crisis Preparedness Handbook: A Complete Guide to Home Storage and Physical Survival is extremely well thought out, researched and written. Mr. Spigarelli has left almost no stone unturned in laying out a survival storage system for food, water, and other aspects of both short and long term personal storage.
Of the half dozen or so I have read, Crisis Preparedness Handbook: A Complete Guide to Home Storage and Physical Survival is absolutely the best. I have given copies to my family members and I highly recommend it.
Packed full of information - a valued addition to any preparedness library
This is a very insightful and well constructed book. There is a TON of information. It does lean heavily on food storage, dedicating nearly 2/3 of its 315 pages to various facets of food (production, preservation, storage). The remaining 100+ pages discuss things like clothing/bedding; Heat, cooking and light, Medical/dental; sanitation/personal care; communication, etc.
There are more than 2 dozen checklists which are very comprehensive and detailed. In my opinion these checklists combined with the nearly 20 pages of resources (pp 295-314) and other books recommended (chapter 31 - Survival Library pp 297-304) make the book worth purchasing. However - this great strength can also be a weakness, make sure the copy you buy is current. ... Read More
Great Book
The author is very specific on figuring the amounts of each food types to store based on caloric needs of your age group and reminds you to think ahead and anticipate changes as a person or child ages. As a nurse I feel this information is critical to overall health as he includes the number of calories needed per age. He also recommends that you store a variety of foods as well as 'treat' foods to compensate for a change in your diet that might eliminate our fast food habits. Crisis Preparedness Handbook: A Complete Guide to Home Storage and Physical Survival will guide you in creating a pantry suited to your own family. I highly recommend Crisis Preparedness Handbook: A Complete Guide to Home Storage and Physical Survival for the details it provides in all areas of long term food storage.
