I found this book amazing and well worth the time I invested to read it! It is a resource that I want on my shelf so I will be getting the paperback version soon. In a world of economic uncertainty and people and political parties acting nuts, I personally have been looking for ways to be better prepared to safeguard my family for any type of emergency. This book was well researched with a ton of practical ideas to be better ready for any crisis, natural or manmade.

I now have a list of things I can do starting today to get better prepared. I especially appreciated the suggestions on storing food and water and the section comparing freeze dried and dehydrated food - who knew? I don't know many people who have taken the time and effort to have a 30 day supply of food and water.

Overall this is an excellent book, almost overwhelming in detail and I now plan to gift a few of these books to my best friends at Christmas so they can better protect their families in the event of an emergency.

Last Stand is not just a fast-paced-read, it's a warning to everyone: we need to be prepared. I would qualify myself as an uberfan of this genre; besides writing post-apocalyptic books, I have devoured hundreds. Some were great, and many not so much. This is one of the better PA books for sure. Besides taking you for a fun journey, you will learn a thing or two about prepping your family for small time disasters to something as bad as an SHTF event. Whether you're a prepper or not, be prepared to be hooked on this engaging and enjoyable series.

Oftentimes, when the worst happens somewhere in the world, especially to people that you do not know, it is hard to know what to do about it. I have felt this way, watching from afar the earthquakes, floods, storms, tsunamis that seem to have been raining down like frogs in recent years. Sure, there are many avenues for making donations, online and with your cell phone, but when an opportunity appeared to use my creativity in support of relief for the people of Japan, I took it. I am one of the authors of the stories in this anthology, and let me tell you that it is an honor to be published alongside these other accomplished and skilled writers.

By purchasing this anthology, you will do more than just contribute to the relief efforts in Sendai; you will be able to experience how a community of writers each responded to the tragedy, how each of us reflected and responded, and how we put our hearts and souls into writing short stories that might cumulatively make a difference.

Thank you for giving Stories for Sendai a chance!

It is a reality that we live in an age where disasters occur with relative frequency. This book offers information on being prepared for a wide variety of disasters. The author give examples of scenarios we might possibly face and valuable information on weathering the storm, so to speak. The fact is since there is not advanced warning in many situations, we may find ourselves far from our homes. Good read. Good information.

In light of Katrina and Sandy Hook every family should read this book! I was very surprised to learn how unprepared I was for even a short term emergency. This book is very well thought out. Don't be a victim, be prepared!

This little book doesn't intend to save you from a natural disaster, and don't be fooled if you think it is a survival guide. As its title says, it will help you to be well prepared in case you end up facing one. Some of the points mentioned are quite basic and obvious, but I can imagine some people who have been through a natural disaster reading the book, and thinking: "I wished I would have read this book before...".

Having read a few survival guides before, this book is particularly interesting as it focuses in something very important: how to prepare your HOME, to make it a stronger and safer place so that it can withstand a natural disaster, in simple steps (although I suspect that they are not particularly cheap!). Although I would have liked to see more ideas, I believe that this book covers some of the most important topics regarding this matter.

This book can be also used as a reference book, as it contains basic, yet useful hints and advice on issues such as the best ways to store food and water, how to prevent health, deal with isolation. I particularly appreciated the chapters on how to deal with children and infants in a situation of crisis, as well as how to take care of your Pets! In my limited experience, thes type of books rarely help you to prepare for these issues.

The author addittionally offers he's help and assistance with further advice, and throughtout the text provides good contacts as well. I'll look forward to reading his other 2 books!

Anyone in this day and age that relies on computers and the Internet should read this. We have emergency supplies for earthquakes, but I learned a lot more will be needed for communication. I'm adding to my list!

This book is helpful not only for those who are early in their preparedness journeys but also for readers who may think they know "everything there is to know" about prepping. Unless one lives alone on a mountain top it just makes sense to consider the importance of community emergency preparedness. It's not enough to have a year's supply of food and water in the basement if everyone else in the neighborhood is going to come knocking at the door after a disaster. In the spirit of Give a Man a Fish vs. Teach a Man to Fish this book offers a framework for communities to come together in a common-sense quest for resilience. Scott James offers his deep knowledge of emergency preparedness information in a calm and reassuring manner which avoids alarming or overwhelming his readers. His vision for neighborhoods coming together is inspiring and full of hope.  I look forward to reading his next book!

It was OK. I had nothing to compare it with. But good to have all those essentials. I displayed it at a Disaster Preparedness workshop and like nothing else, it brought home to the group, what preparing to survive a Cascadia zone tectonic earthquake would entail. Thanks.

I bought this book to get ready for hurricane season. Were new to Florida and want to be ready and prepared to shelter in place. We use craigslist a lot to buy stuff we need. This book provided the foundation we needed to get started. Our neighbors have been through many hurricanes and told us you can never be over prepared. We are also hoping to help others should they need it. Maybe one day they will help us!

Raw Survival is a great reminder to how everyone should prepare for the unexpected things in everyday life.  The perfect reference book to help you get back on track. My husband and I live in the country and have always tried to be mindful for unexpected emergencies, but sometimes become complacent. Due to more power outages, Raw Survival brought us back to the basics for such emergencies. This is a must have for everyone.

I found this to be a great way to start preparing for WHEN SHTF.  It is informative and we'll thought out. I would only stress having water storage as well.

As Hurricane Sandy has shown us, the importance of being prepared for a disaster is critical to survival.  The poor people affected by that terrible tragedy never expected to face a hurricane.  While those of us in Florida are hurricane ready all of the time, people in the northeast just don't expect that kind of disaster.  The reality is that we can't control how and when we will be affected by a weather event, financial crash, manmade disaster or emergency.  The smart thing to do is to prepared.  It can be overwhelming to think about all of the things you need to do to be ready which is why I choose this book.  I wanted to be thorough and be sure not to forget anything and it has been an invaluable resource.  It has helped me create an emergency plan for my family including creating survival kits and ensuring that we are ready to go if a disaster is imminent.  The book is well written and VERY thorough.  It gives you information for all kinds of disasters, not just natural disasters which is awesome.  I strongly recommend this if you want to ensure that your family is safe and prepared; it is an excellent, comprehensive resource.

Wayne Peterson has written an excellent, informative book to help prepare you for surviving the worst case scenario of another financial meltdown happening.  We have gone through this before, but could we survive a second round?  There is a lot going on that the average citizen is unaware of.  This book provides you with the knowledge you need to protect your family, assets, privacy, and money. Another added benefit is that if there were a massive natural catastrophe, such as an earthquake, you would be prepared for it by reading this book.  I highly recommend it!
