Making the Best of Basics

This is an excellent book. If you can only afford one book, this is the one to buy.  I keep my copy of

Making the Best of Basics Family Preparedness Handbook  by James Talmage Stevens on hand at all times..  This is probably the first survivalist book I ever purchased.

Here is a link to his site.  This book is so full of helpful information, you just can't believe it.
