Howard Godfrey - Emergency Preparedness and More

[CharlesHarris]

Revised Second Edition is now out. The author Howard Godfrey is an old friend of mine and knows what of he speaks, because he lives the prepper lifestyle and brings to it a lifetime of experience from his youth in South Africa and as a career fire fighter, law enforcement officer and emergency manager in the USA. For several years he kept up the blog Preparedness Advice, which is highly respected. He has since retired, and handed the blog off to very capable hands, and I am delighted to see a revised Second Edition to his book, with over 100 pages of new material and lots of photos which help teach and inform.

I recently received my review copy and found Howard’s revisions and updates timely. Chock full of useful and practical hints and tips without the conspiracies, tinfoil hat instructions and gloom and doom common in too much of the prepper literature out there. The message of the book is one of common sense and self reliance which instills confidence and hope.

Lots of the subject matter bcan be applied to our daily living, and should be! If hard times are in our future, a source of solid, basic information for the new prepper, or a refresher for the experienced is a great thing to have around. I suggest multiple copies of these as Christmas gifts and to stash in your Get Home Bag or Road Warrior Ruck.
