Summary: Emergency food storage
Comment: Love this book and it really gives you great details on how and what to store,even an inventory sheet and planning guides. With the trend of hyperinflation we need to be sensible and start this program now to be prepared in the future no matter what is to come we will be able to help those that depend on us and people around us due to being prepared. Every family should have a copy of this book.

Summary: Helpful, but not quite enough
Comment: I've read this, and continue to use it as a reference. While it has a breadth of information useful for planning, what I really missed is a very detailed list of shelf-life for various foods. There are generalized numbers for general food categories, but I'd like much more. If you are truly planning for an emergency, you'll need more than just this book.

Summary: Book does exactly what the title says.
Comment: Just like the title says the book is full of hints to store food for a crisis. There are a number of excellent hints such as storing food that you would normally eat and turning over your stored food through your regular eating habits. The book also mentions having emergency clothing, food and water packed and ready to go because when a crisis occurs there will likely be no time to pack up supplies. You want something you can just grab on the way out the door. Hurricane Katrina is a good example. Having emergency supplies in your car is another excellent idea. Time and again we read about families being stranded without adequate clothing, food and water. Finally, one of the best ideas is to always have a ready store of hundreds of dollars in cash on hand.
