The Essentials Guide: Survival Dispatch Insider (228 pages)

The Essentials Guide is the backbone of a working survival plan, pulled from the best articles in Survival Dispatch Insider and put in one place. 228 pages, written by the people who do this for a living, aimed at getting a household from zero to ready without buying the wrong gear twice.

Inside: what to buy first and what to skip; long-term food storage with canning, mylar, freeze drying, and hot and cold smoking; foraging wild food you can actually identify; water storage, filtering, boiling, distilling and chlorine treatment, and the containers that will make you sick; trapping for food when the store is closed; getting your ham radio license, your first radio, and a communications plan for your family and your group; and what an EMP does to the equipment you are counting on.

Read it once, then use it as the checklist you build against. PDF, instant download.
