Great Little Book

This book is a great place to start your preparedness journey.

It covers so much wonderful information. Sure it looks outdated but it IS NOT. It has the who, what, where,why. and how being prepared. Water storage, first aid, clothing, fuel & light, food & recipes, and it has all kinds of tips.

My wonderful Relief Society President gave me a copy. I thank her very very much! If you would like one of the cool little books let her know or shoot me an email or heck leave a comment below.

This would be a great tool for helping with those pesky New Year's resolutions. You know the ones like... This year I will get our year supply. Or..this year we will finally do our 72 hour kits.
