Description
Prepare for future worst-case scenarios while learning to be self-sufficient every day.
It's become clear that even in the twenty-first century our comfortable lives can be disrupted at a moment's notice by events far beyond our control.

Written by Jim Cobb, an authority on prepping and disaster readiness, The Urban Prepper's Guide will introduce you to techniques and strategies that can prepare your home and loved ones. These simple measuresβdesigned specifically for urban and suburban dwellers who have tight budgets and limited spaceβinclude:
- Water - how to safely store and purify water
- Food - how to store, preserve, and cook food in an emergency
- Shelter - how to shield yourself from the elements without power
- Medical - how to be prepared for injuries and illnesses
- Security - how to protect your house and valuables
