About this title

Synopsis

Preparing to Prepare: A General Guide to Self-Sufficiency & Preparedness takes a duration-based approach to the potential disruptions or calamities that might befall an individual, family, community, or region. These disruptions to daily life could be weather-related, societal, or originate from unexpected places like health problems and loss of employment. Preparing to Prepare walks the reader through personal assessments by asking the reader to answer very specific thought-provoking questions geared toward helping them understand their environment and the potential pitfalls that life may throw at them. Readers aren't left hanging though as Mr. Kershner provides clarity as he proposes solutions, concepts, suggestions, lists, and points to make note of in order to handle minor (1-week max), moderate (1-3 weeks max), and major (4-weeks +) disruptions to everyday life.

From the Back Cover

When people hear the words 'self-sufficiency' and 'preparedness' together in the same sentence, they typically conjure up images of tinfoil hats and reclusive preppers. However, just about everyone is, in a general sense, preparing for something. The difference is that we don't ascribe those terms to say:

• Suzy Homemaker who purchased some extra cases of water for her family for the heat of summer.
• Bob Bizowner who purchased plywood to board up his business to protect it from anarchists, rioters, and looters.
• Grandma Betsy who grew and canned produce from her Victory Garden.
• Neighbor Jenny who purchased two months' worth of everything before state lockdowns were initiated.

When we see examples like these, we say they were smart to be prepared or had good timing, in a positive way, not derogatorily. Preparing to Prepare: A General Guide to Self-Sufficiency & Preparedness takes a duration-based approach to the potential disruptions that might befall an individual, family, community, or region. These disruptions to daily life could be minor (week or less), moderate (week to a month), or major (more than a month) and originate from the weather, society, health problems, employment loss, or something else. Preparing to Prepare walks the reader through personal assessments by asking the reader to answer very specific, thought-provoking questions geared toward understanding their environment and the potential pitfalls that life may throw at them. With those answers in hand, only then can the reader truly begin preparing for their chosen duration.
