Few know more about food preparation and storage than the Mormons. Their reputation for being ready for any emergency or natural disaster is well known - up to 2 years food supply for each family. I bought the 10th edition and was amazed at the resources including an exhaustive preparedness resource index. These are methods are grandparents and the pioneers knew well but today's generation is unfamiliar with. It is nice to see this heritage passed along. Thanks for an excellent resource. I would also like to recommend The Survivor's Guide to The Year 2000. It is to financial and investments what this book is to food preparation: all the essentials for the LDS family and everyone else who feels that "peace of mind follows preparedness." There is security in knowing you are ready for anything. I heartily recommned both resouces to all. Thanks again.

In a time where we have become too dependent on others to take care of us, it is refreshing to know there are books like this that can restore or preserve a heritage of skills / knowledge for our posterity. Thinking of and sowing into the lives of others following behind us is a blessing and responsibility, many no longer cherish. This book is for those who do.

The premise here is that we all know we're at high risk for some disaster. We just don't know when or what. But whether flood or unemployment, the unexpected crisis needs to be weathered when it hits. In this bible on self- sufficiency, you'll learn about basic home storage of food and water, basic recipes, basic kitchen gardening, basic directions for drying fruits and vegetables, and even basic self-health care. Very reasonable, down-to-earth advice to keep you watered, fed, and healthy during tough times.
