From the Author
Thank you for taking the time to consider our book How to Survive Y2k Chaos in the City (A Preparedness and Self-Reliance Handbook).
Several years ago we began our own research on the Y2k-Millennium Bug. At the very beginning we were hopeful they would find the magic bullet and everything would be okay. That hope was short-lived. As more documented information emerged we realized that we were at the threshold of the most potentially devastating, man-made disaster, ever experienced in history. A predictable disaster that is set to strike at -- midnight, January 1, 2000 and within 24 hours, will to some degree or another, affect everyone in the world.
As we began to consider the possible ramifications of Y2k to our lifestyle, we became increasingly convinced that we needed to prepare for, possibly, a worst case scenario -- and do it now. But, where to begin? What should we prepare for? What if there was no electricity, no water, no heat? How would we keep warm? How would we eat? What would we eat? What should we store and how long would it last? What things, if forgotten, could be potentially devastating?
How to Survive Y2k Chaos in the City tells you everything you need to know, to prepare for you and your family's survival in the city and suburbs. Some of the things you will learn from How to Survive Y2k Chaos in the City (A Preparedness and Self-Reliance Handbook) are:

The most helpful Y2k preparedness book out there.,
By A Customer
This review is from: How To Survive Y2k Chaos In The City - A Preparedness and Self-Reliance Handbook (Paperback)
Finally, a book written specifically for those of us who live in the city (that's 70% of us)! We have amassed quite a survival library, but we find the information in this book to be the simplest, most accurate and the most helpful. I took it with me to a preparedness specialty store and even the owner was surprised by how many questions which he couldn't previously answer were dealt with in this book. It will help you become the most prepared in the shortest time possible.

A "must read" for you and your family.,
By A Customer
This review is from: How To Survive Y2k Chaos In The City - A Preparedness and Self-Reliance Handbook (Paperback)
I'm really impressed. This book, How To Survive Y2k Chaos In The City, is a gold mine of useful, practical, common-sense information. It provides a sane, rational approach to your emergency preparations. This book has exceeded my expectations. I also applaud the authors because they don't use any of the fear tactics that many do, but instead give some very thought provoking reasons why we should be prudent in our approach to Y2k.

Indispensible for those of us not versed in survival!,
By A Customer
This review is from: How To Survive Y2k Chaos In The City - A Preparedness and Self-Reliance Handbook (Paperback)
I have never camped out or had to deal with lack of anything such as electricity or water. Y2K preparation was scaring me silly. This book covers the basics that most of us probably have never needed to know! How to dispose of waste - quite a few creative ideas on this. How to bake bread in a dutch oven! What a wonderful idea! I was not even going to stock grains until I read how they said it was THE most necessary food item for good nutrition and then they have provided the recipes for both dutch oven and skillet bread! My friends and I that have this book have taken to calling it "the little book" as an endearment. We will say things like "I was reading the little book last night and found...." or "where on earth did you find that?" "In the little book". This is really an essential and invaluable resource for anyone who has no clue on how to take care of themselves without all the nicities we have become used to. I have found enough in here to more than recompense for the price of the book. I am very thankful that they wrote it and if things get bad and I make it through it will be in large part because of advice and practical plans from this book! To me this is the city dwellers version of "Back to the Basics" and the two books together are an unbeatable resource for crisis preparation.
