About this listen
People say that "you can never be too prepared" for a disaster - and while that is true, there is such a thing as over-preparation. If preparing for a possible disaster in the future significantly impairs your family's quality of life today, you might need to reassess your priorities.
Living in a constant state of terror and paranoia is not something I am particularly fond of. I'm not one of those people who has built such an incredible fortress for myself that I'm almost giddy about the idea of getting a chance to use it.
If you find that lifestyle appealing, this guide is not for you. But you probably guessed that already from the title: I believe in practical preparation. Being smart and ready, but also being rational about the risks and rewards involved. In this audiobook I will seek to address some simple steps that everyone should take to stay prepared.

What would happen if terrorists detonated a nuclear device high above the United States? What about if the sun emitted a large coronal mass ejection that resulted in a damaging geomagnetic storm? In either case, electrical power could be lost for months. Shortages would quickly ensue - food, water, and fuel would disappear within days. Widespread panic and suffering would be unavoidable. Are you prepared for these large-scale disasters? This audiobook will help you to prepare for two the-end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it (TEOTWAWKI) events: the EMP attack and the solar storm.

Beekeeping is an old practice that even the ancient Egyptians liked to do. In essence, beekeeping really means nurturing and supporting adult bee populations that produce honey and other bee products such as beeswax or royal jelly. Beekeeping can be extremely rewarding as a hobby, and there’s nothing quite so delicious as homegrown honey. But you should also keep in mind that beekeeping is no walk in the park - you need all the help you can get.

Do you find that your fridge is constantly filling up with half-wilted and mostly forgotten vegetables? Do you find that you throw away most of what you produce because you just can’t use it up in time? Do you want to learn about home canning and preserving your own food? I used to have a lot of problems with wasting the crops I grew, and it always frustrated me, but I only had limited space in my freezer, and I didn’t know any better. Now, with the skills I have learned, I preserve plenty of food at room temperature, and have enough to give away to friends and family.

Short & Semi-practical
If the whole Northern Hemisphere goes to heck in handbasket, then what is learned in this is completely applicable. If your bug out plan is to run for the woods, maybe this might be helpful. If you have alternative plans already and just want to think out what you may need should you and your family need to run to the hills this is helpful. The best part is that it is not long winded.
Unfortunately, it does not cover small scale disasters where running for the hills would be a silly option if the problem is super-local, just one part of modern society and or you or your family is expected to show up for work/ school next week (think Sandy in NYC & NJ).

Quick listen on what to have ready when you are in an emergency situation where you have to leave your house in two minutes, with an uncertain date of return.
While it doesn't provide the total solution, it does lay out a framework for understanding what is most important.
