Chapters
There are currently sixteen chapters in Prepper: Surviving the Tough Times Ahead. These chapters cover, I believe, the most important things you and your family need to do first, to survive an event.


Quick Start
Each chapter starts with a simple, inexpensive thing that you and your family can do to increase you chances of surviving an event, such as check and test the smoke detectors in your home, store three gallons of water for everyone in the family including your pets, make sure everyone in your family has a warm coat, hat, and gloves, locate your homes water, gas, and electric shut off/circuit breaker, and several others.


To Learn More
If you and your family would like to become better prepared, than just the minimum, continue to the rest of the chapter by following the link.


Additional Articles
At over two hundred pages, Prepper: Surviving the Tough Times Ahead has a lot of information, but I wanted you and your family to learn and know more about prepping, so I collected some of my articles for you to read and learn.


Additional References
Prepping is always changing, new threats are identified, different techniques are shared, and more equipment is introduced. Plus, no one knows it all, about prepping.

So, ...

Prepper: Surviving the Tough Times Ahead has collected several different links, that you might be interested in reading, for each chapter. They are are videos, articles, and links to other people's thought and techniques for surviving the tough times ahead.

But, ... Don't despair.

Take it slow and focus on the important stuff, complete an inventory, determine what you need, make a shopping list, and ...

In other words, ... Start with Chapter One: Mental Preparations.
