    The First Book You Should Read on Preparedness
  

*by J***2 on Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2017*

For those of you who don't know the name, Grant Cunningham is a well known and respected gun writer, trainer and gunsmith, He is known for his very methodical, common sense approach to guns and self-defense. What I had not previously known about him is that he has a degree in Emergency Management and is involved in disaster preparedness for his local Sheriff's office. That's what inspired him to write his latest book.In "Prepping for Life" he takes a departure from writing just about guns and looks at the larger picture of disaster prepping. He takes a different approach from nearly every author I have read on this topic. He presents the methodology used by disaster preparation professionals, and the military, which is the use of a threat matrix. It's a simple idea that can get as complicated as you want/need it to: You analyze and prioritize all the threats you face, the way you see it in your particular situation. He encourages readers to consider medical and natural threats as well as man-made threats.Then you look at how you might deal with those threats at the levels of Anticipate, Deter, Detect and Respond (with "Recovery" being part of "Respond"). Possible choices can be buying survival "stuff" but it can also be taking training, repositioning stuff you already have, changing behaviors, etc. His credo is to work toward getting to an 80% preparedness level for all likely threats and then re-assessing what you want to do beyond that. One mistake people make is getting 100% prepared for one kind of threat, such as violent crime, but then ignoring other risks, like fire, cancer, job loss, etc. He takes the position that risks are risks, period. Any deadly threat can leave you just as dead as any other.He includes links to downloadable worksheets that help you do all this analysis. I highly recommend the book. It is a quick read, but full of great stuff.

    BUY NOW -- THE FUTURE IS THE NEAREST IT'S EVER BEEN!
  

*by C***S on Reviewed in the United States on August 14, 2017*

Prepping has been all one-sided for far too long. People talk of carrying a firearm as if it solves all the problems in their world. It doesn't. People preach freeze-dried food or bomb shelters the same way, as if this one thing is all you need to survive when the crisis occurs. Different crisis happen to different people in different places with different lifestyles. There is no One-Size-Fits-All method to prepare. Grant Cunningham walks you through the process of determining what is most likely to happen to you and your family and what you need to do to be prepared for that eventuality. If there's no earthquake coming -- why am I preparing for one? Then again, it appears I may need a few more fire extinguishers in and around my home because fire is a very real possibility for me and mine. Prepping is a lifestyle decision. You cannot simply buy a gun and be prepared. This is a terrific book which is NEW in that it examines ALL the aspects of what could happen to you and how you may prepare intelligently for that possibility. Buy it now.

    "Prepping" isn't silly and it needn't become your whole life.
  

*by R***E on Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2018*

There is little to add to the reviews below, which are extensive and revelatory. Mr. Cunningham is obviously smart and articulate. He has taken the considerable time and trouble needed to research his plan to the professional level of competence. He seems not to be constitutionally a contrarian, but he looks at whatever problem set he examines, be it bullpup rifles or general emergency preparation or anything else, with open mind and no preconceptions, and he takes no one's word for anything. He dissects the topic to its essential subunits, then analyzes back up to a whole opinion. He certainly may not always be right--who is, after all--but his ideas and recommendations are based not only on his experience but his logical analysis. He's a trained disaster manager and a clear thinker.Bottom line: anyone concerned with disaster/emergency preparation owes both him-/herself and significant others a careful reading of this book. IT EMPHATICALLY IS NOT A DOOMSDAY END-OF-THE-WORLD-AS-WE-KNOW-IT BOOK, A SURVIVALIST-HEAD-FOR-THE-HILLS BOOK, OR A GUN BOOK. Mr. Cunningham simply shows you how to identify what YOU think are possibilities of concern, and then he gives you a way to address them that works for YOU and your situation.
