Destiny Survival

            The other day I saw a blog post asking readers to share the best all around survival and preparedness site.  Several people suggested some, and they were good suggestions.  Naturally, I left a comment with a link to DestinySurvival.  I said nobody can do a comprehensive site to meet everybody’s needs.  There’s a growing interest in prepping, and new sites are coming online all the time.

            It’s the same way with books.  There are plenty out there, and more are being published.  Have more than one on hand.  Where one is weak, another will pick up the slack.  Talk with trusted friends or family members as well.  Get all the practical knowledge you can from wherever you can.

            One good survival and preparedness book is PREPAREDNESS NOW!: An Emergency Survival Guide for Civilians and Their Families, by Aton Edwards.  It’s a 350 page paperback with a rating of 4.0 out of 5 stars on Amazon.com.  Here’s part of Amazon’s description.
