52 Prepper's Projects for Parents and Kids: A Project a Week to Help Prepare Your Child for the Unpredictable

Prepare your child for the unpredictable. Teach your boy or girl basic outdoors survival skills, first aid, how to create their own "bug-out bag," and more.

Now there is an easy way for mothers and fathers to teach their kids to be better prepared—and for families to learn to work together.
