Review: The Prepper's Pocket Guide

I can't say enough good things about this book. When I got my review copy I wasn't sure what to expect. It's small size made it look like a beginner's book. Having years of experience and research into prepping I didn't expect much. Boy was I wrong. This book contains 101 easy things you can do to ready your home for a disaster. There were several things in there that I had never thought of or read before. One of my favorites was how to distill water with a pot and a cup. I have since done a few of the projects such as sprouting seeds and making beef jerky in the oven. I would recommend this book to anyone from beginner to expert. The author, Bernie Carr, runs apartmentprepper.com which I recommend keeping an eye on whether you live in an apartment or a homestead. This is the kind of book that you keep handy to reference frequently. It would also make a great gift for friends and family even if they aren't into prepping. Bernie puts things in a friendly common sense fashion that is easy to relate to. So, in conclusion, Check It Out.

  1. In Preppers Pocket Guide, item #89 topic of 'learn to cook without electricity', portable camp stove, in the last sentence you state: "make sure you use the camp stove in a well-lit area". This is a good tip, but I think you meant to say "well-vented".
    I thoroughly enjoyed your book & look forward to another of your books, 'Penny punching prepper '.
