The new 12th edition is written for a generation even further and more remotely separated from the skills of the pioneers of America's frontiers.

In this edition, I share a lot of personal experiences, from whom, where, and how the information for Basics came to me, and what it will do to bring an effective plan for preparedness achievement to the unprepared family.

After 37 years of tenure in the family preparedness industry, I have come to the conclusion that it doesn't matter what causes your need to be prepared-If you are truly prepared, you have no need to fear!
