Which one should I start with?
If you only want one, take The Prepared Home. It's my whole method for any emergency. If there's a season bearing down on you, take that season's book; each one stands on its own. If you want to be done with it, the collection is all five and my checklist.
Are these real books or files?
They're PDFs. You'll get an email within a minute of paying, with the download. Read them on a tablet, a laptop or a phone, or print the pages you want on ordinary letter paper at home. I set the type big, 14 point, for reading glasses.
Is this a survivalist thing?
No. It's an ordinary house, two people, and the hardware store and the warehouse club. Nothing in these books asks you to buy a bunker, a weapon or a year of food. Most of the steps cost less than twenty dollars, and every one has the price next to it and where I paid it.
What's in the checklist that isn't in the books?
Seven sheets, laid out bigger and plainer than anything inside the books: the water count, the warm-room card, the under-the-bed card, the red-flag-day card, the 72-hours-before list and the family card. They're the pinned-up versions, made for the fridge or the door. You can only get them with the collection.
What if it isn't for me?
Thirty days, full refund, no questions. Reply to the email the book came in and it's done. You keep the files.
Is this medical, legal or electrical advice?
No. I say what I do at my house and what it cost. Your county, the National Weather Service and your fire agency are the ones to follow, and the transfer switch is a licensed electrician's job. When they say leave, leave.
