If the answer is no, Survival: Prepare Before Disaster Strikes offers common sense, drama-free advice on food storage, preparedness goods and getting your home survival-ready - whether it is in the city or the country - that won't break the bank!

Visit http//prepperslifeline.com/ for weekly articles centered on drama free preparedness without breaking the bank.

Barbara Fix grew up on a homestead in Alaska where -20 degree winters made self-sufficiency the "norm". Year round, water had to be packed in, Coleman lantern provided lighting, a sauna provided bathing, and the call of nature was answered by dodging moose on the way to the outhouse.

Still living off-grid, Fix is the author of hundreds self-sufficiency related articles under the pen name Survival Diva. Her recently released book Get Prepared Now! is a collaborative effort with author Michael Snyder of the popular blog The Economic Collapse. Fix is also the author of a previous preparedness-related book, Survival: Prepare Before Disaster Strikes. Her books are available in paperback and Kindle.

The Divine Miss L

In-Depth but for Her Area

Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2017

Verified Purchase

It's a decent-sized book about different things. She provides internet links and includes stories about how she was able to save money for prepping, especially food. Many of the stores she names or situations she's experienced are mostly for the Midwest. I have never see an East-Coast supermarket off bulk oatmeal. I also found a small amount of political bias, especially in regards to climate change.

Very comprehensive

Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2015

Verified Purchase

This is a very good survival book that will make you think about the 'what it's. The author does a good job of explaining her thinking, and helping you come to a similar conclusion if you are of the same mindset. I'm a part time prepped, with only a very small amount of money invested in it, and probably won't invest much more. However, I have realized that living in rural New England has led me to already being pretty well prepared for an extended survival situation. If you only read one book on survival (just as I have only read one book on survival), it should probably be this one. Good luck everyone.

Good book for suburban prepper and first time retreater

Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2012

Verified Purchase

However, it's not a tactical manual, and does not cover subjects like "hand to hand" combat, knives, or firearms. but the subjects it cover is useful to the first time retreater or the unaware city/suburban family dweller and it has a great blog site. "Survival: Prepare Before Disaster Strikes" offer an no sense, drama-free advice on food storage, preparedness goods and getting your home or retreat area, ready- whether it is in the city or the country -that won't leave you broke in the process.
Yet, it need a second edition, more like a 1940's Scout manual with photos, diagrams, drawings, photo list of a personal bug-out bag, car kit, and retreat kit. It also forgot a heavy constuction wheelbarrow, a foldable deer cart, and cast iron two burner (propane). I am rereading this book for a second time. A good choice for one's personal survival library.

Excellent Intro to Preparedness

Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2013

Verified Purchase

I would recommend that anyone considering emergency preparedness or survival start with this book. This is the perfect introduction to survival preparedness.

Its well written, common-sense, concise, it covers an extensive range of topics all with meaningful detail, and is filled with tips, suggestions, and the wisdom of experience. The lists of additional resources and links expands the value of this already excellent book. I found myself highlighting something on every page - things I'd never considered or tips I haven't seen anywhere else.

I hope that this author has or will write more books on the subject - I'll download all of them.

Everything You Want to Know About Survival!

Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2011

The Survival Diva website has everything you want to know or could even imagine to ask about preparedness. Barbara Fix has written a book which I've just read, and it is excellent! Clearly and concisely written, it covers everything from purchase or construction of your home or outhouse to canning, drying, or storing the produce from your garden. She has sections on how to purchase land, get a loan, owner financing, etc. The book offers the very basics, up to and including everything you could possibly need to know about living on limited resources after a crash. What kinds of stoves and cooking apparatus you might need. Endless lists of foods, spices, tools, etc. Electricity or no electricity? Alternative types of energy are covered. This in depth work, as far as I can see, hasn't missed a topic. At the end of each chapter, she gives other links where you can find more info on each subject! I highly recommend this book if you are wanting to cover all your bases in the preparedness game. The book is in Kindle format or as a download to your computer, and it is very inexpensive as well. Just $7.75 for all her research and knowledge. Now that's a bargain, too!
