Unlike a lot of books in this field - (Food Security for the Faint of Heart) ISN'T a hysterical threatening account of how we are doomed to huddle in caves clutching a last lone can of spam as the zombie hordes overwhelm the world. It's a calm, lighthearted, but well written manual for dealing with the simple fact that, well, crap happens.

The world is too full of easily hysterical people who panic when the rain falls. Buy this book and avoid the herds of people who only remember AFTER the hurricane is sighted that they must, right now, this minutes, go to the store and buy water.

When even the government is telling folks that they need to be able to manage for a few weeks (or months) in times of crisis - this is a great book to start walking you through the process of preparing. Preparing for what?

Life.

And this book proves it doesn't have to be any more dramatic than that.

From Amazon.com Reviews

I have read about food storage off and on for years and this is one of the best -- well-written and engaging. The initial suggestions for getting started on a rotating storage system are easy and doable for most people... no giant root cellar construction needed.  From Amazon Reviews

(Food Security for the Faint of Heart) is a book for those who know the truth of what's coming, but would really rather "be in Colorado" as Judi Collins would say. It's kind and gentle and submerges the reader gently into a "panic" bath. It would be great if the naysayers were all wrong; then we could laugh at their silliness. But there's this small voice telling us they're right, and we'd do well to follow this book's advice. From Amazon Reviews
