 Rating:  - An in-depth and informative book This book 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, this book is absolutely the best. I have given copies to my family members and I highly recommend it. Rating: - Packed full of information - a valued addition to any preparedness libraryThis 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).

I get a little nuts when I buy a book about home preparedness and there are chapter's about making arrowheads and how to skin a rabbit and how to make a fire by rubbing two sticks together. If things every get this bad, I don't want to live anyway. However, in Mr. Sprigarelli's book, you won't find nutty stuff like making arrowheads. It's smart stuff and to the point. It's worth ... Read More Rating:  - Don't buy this directly from the author/publisherI have a personal copy of this book and thought so highly of it that I tried to buy one for my son. Amazon was temporarily out of stock so I made an online purchase directly from the authors. Guess what, that was in December and it is April now and the book was never sent. The authors have responded to email inquiries and promised to send the book. However they have never followed through and also have never bothered to send a refund. Maybe they are having a crisis of their own, in which case maybe they aren't ... Read More
