4.0 out of 5 stars Not a bad start, February 14, 2009

By	Fyregal "Roadtripper" (Oregon, USA) - See all my reviews

Really good book for beginners. If you are just starting out in the world of "stored food", this will be a good book to start. The lists of food items may seem daunting and overkill, but trust me it's not. When you start rotating through the supplies as the author suggests you will see just how much you need. Don't try to do all of it at once, just ease into it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Only the scared, September 29, 2008

By	Calvin Lawrence "Life is GOOD in Green." - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Not what I expected. Food storage 101 title lead me to believe the book was about preserving, canning, pickling, salting, and other possible ways to store perishable food items. But not so. The author takes a rather scared approach to food shortage.
NOT happy with the book. I am interested in how to prepare and store my garden produce. Learning ways to preserve food. This book address' the issue of stocking away food for crisis situations. The introduction is one of concern and care for someone to be able to feed and nourish themself for 1 year during a possible food shortage, natural disaster, or holocaust.
