Family Preparedness Handbook By James Talmage Stevens

If you were temporarily out of work, how long could you sustain yourself and your family in a near-normal manner?

To what natural, man-caused, or personal disasters are you vulnerable?

If the transportation system were disrupted, how long could you and your family live on the food in your home?

Do you know what to store, how much you need, or where to get it?

In today's world you can't afford to be unprepared.

If you want the security of being able to live from your own personal resources for up to a year regardless of external conditions, Making the Best of Basics will show you how.

With over 365,000 copies sold, Making the Best of Basics has long been a standard on in-home food storage and family preparedness. The 10th edition of Basics has been expanded, revised, and updated.
