Its entirely possible the author may not have mentioned certain items you might need in an emergency situation.

Patty Hahne is the author of preppersillustrated.com which is an online magazine designed to help people with their emergency preparedness needs. She is also the author of The Doomsday Prepping Crash CourseThe Ultimate Preppers Guide to Getting Prepared When Youre on a Tight Budget .

That book was based on two previous eBooks by Patty Hahne: Doomsday Prepping Crash Course: The Ultimate Preppers Guide to Getting Prepared When Youre on a Tight Budget and Build the Ideal Bug Out Bag: The Ultimate Guide to Preparing a 72 Hour Survival Kit for Surviving Comfortably .

Introduction

One thing all preppers have in common is that they feel a deep sense of urgency when it comes to preparing for emergencies. Most preppers go to great lengths to stockpile everything they think they might possibly need in a doomsday scenario, but preppers are only human. This means it is entirely possible, and even likely, that there may be some items they have overlooked and/or neglected to store with their emergency preparedness supplies.

This book contains 235 items preppers might not have thought about storing. If youre already a prepper, its highly likely that many of the items in this book are already stored safely away at your home, but some items mentioned in this book might not be in your stockpile yet. Keep in mind that every prepper is different, which means that one preppers emergency preparedness needs might be completely different than anothers.

You might have already taken steps to store many of the items mentioned in this book while another prepper, who is just beginning to prep, might find several items they hadnt even considered storing.

If you find items mentioned in this book you have already stored, great! Simply skip those items and move along to the next one in the list. Please dont be offended if this book lists items you have already stockpiled. Just pat yourself on the back because youve already taken the steps to store items that someone else may have overlooked. Hopefully, while reading this book, youll discover several items you will decide to add to your stockpile of emergency supplies.

Youll notice that some items on the list in this book will have detailed explanations about why I believe it is important to include them in a preppers emergency preparedness planning. Others wont, because no explanation is really necessary.

What This Book is Not About

There have been many books written about preparing for doomsday or other natural disasters we might face at some point in the future. Most of these books contain the basic items preppers usually store, such as food, water, and medical supplies.

This book will not cover all the items you should have in your food storage or medical supply kit, but it will hopefully cover some things you might not have considered when it comes to storing emergency preparedness supplies.

If youre looking for a book that will hold your hand and tell you exactly how many pounds of rice and beans you should be storing, this book probably isnt for you. If, on the other hand, youre looking for a book that might help make you aware of certain items you may have overlooked in your emergency preparedness planning, it should be right up your alley.

My goal with this book is to get you thinking and to stimulate your creative juices . By reading it, youll hopefully think of other items you would like to store, many of which may not even be listed in this book. I hope that reading this book will be an exercise in brainstorming for you, and that youll be able to take what you read in it and become an even more prepared prepper.

Dont Let This Book Overwhelm You
