I’ve gotten several emails from readers asking if there’s a decent prepping book out there that they can use to get started before I finish writing my prepping book. I’ve looked at a bunch of them, and the only one I’ve seen so far that I can recommend as a decent introduction for beginning preppers is Lisa Bedford’s Survival Mom<\/a>.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Yeah, there are some errors in Bedford’s book. (You don’t, for example, need to chlorinate water after you’ve boiled it, at least if you intend to use it immediately.) And it’s pretty obvious when Bedford is writing about things with which she has little experience, such as firearms. But overall Survival Mom is a decent introduction to the subject. You can probably read it over the course of an evening or two, and it’ll give you lots of good ideas for getting started.
