Publisher's summary

You don't like to think about it, but deep down you know it can happen. Disaster can strike without warning, leaving your family without water, food, or electricity and without medical or police support. How will you survive when that happens? How will you protect your family from threats of violence?

Buying insurance, writing wills, getting our teeth cleaned, and saving for retirement are just a few of the precautions we routinely take to mitigate risks, but most people fail to prepare for what's most important.

They fail to prepare for their own survival.

With 91 percent of Americans living in places at a moderate to high risk of disasters, and with all of us dependent on a very fragile life-support system, it's time for you to take preparedness seriously. When you listen to this audiobook you will:

  • Understand the 27 disasters you're likely to face, why some people perish when others don't, and how to ensure your family survives.
  • Master situational awareness and the survival mind-set you need to avoid becoming a victim of violence.
  • Know when to stay, when to bug out, and how to implement an evacuation plan.
  • Learn the best non-firearm options for self-defense.
  • Discover the best ways to generate electricity, store water and food, and handle sanitation and medical care on your own.

Start Prepping! is the ultimate guide to personal emergency preparedness. It will help your family comfortably survive manmade and natural disasters and stay safe from everyday violence. You can't hide from the risks we face, but you can prepare for them. Listen to Start Prepping! now, and give yourself some peace of mind - because the day after disaster strikes, it'll be too late.

Simple, actionable, and reasonable

"Start Prepping!" really broke down the process of thinking through what kinds of emergencies are most likely to occur given your circumstances and how best to prepare. There was no fear-mongering and the author didn't waste words trying to sell you on the concept of emergency preparedness in every chapter which was highly appreciated. I also liked that each potential issue (water storage, food storage, etc.) was approached in several ways with a variety of proposed steps and solutions.

If you are in any way interested in prepping, you will benefit from this book.

Good for Beginners

Very good book for people new to prepping. Young doesn’t scare you into prepping. He gives good reasons why to prep and then tells the how.

A great starting point, best I have ever read!

Started listening to it on Audible, and realized this is a must have book, too many details to try and remember. So I ordered the hard copy, rather try and write it all out. Great Job Tim!

BEST prepping book every!!! NO fear-mongering

This is the best prepping book ever and the best part is no fear mongering! Just good old fashioned common sense, facts and proven suggestions according to the priority of what you might ACTUALLY face in life from the most likely to the highly unlikely... go as far as you feel led to. He is very through and easy to understand. As a single mom this book has given me a great sense of security as I implement the things taught in this book know we are far more prepared to face the most likely hardships in life. Worth every penny in my opinion.

Are you prepared? At home, In your car? At work?

This is a great easy flowing book with humor, anecdotes and well written. Great advice for each topic from drinking water to food to communication and more. The topics were well covered throughout the book and organized chapter by chapter with a review. I highly recommend this book to my friends and family for any life altering event large or small. Get prepared!

This book is a MUST during these times!

If you are like me you think you've done enough to get by for a little while away least until you listen to the wealth of information that is present in this book. There is ALWAYS more to do on the prep list and this book hits ALL the basic knowledge and tools you will need to sustain for a while.
I really like the way first it gives you real life scenarios and recent past events to show you why you'd need the tool or skill in the chapter. it's kinda scary we'r are currently living through the pandemic scinario as I write this. second the way he does the checkpoint and makes you run it with your personal situation and how to improve.

Narration was perfect understandable and well read. one other review stated they were hoping to buy the hard copy, I am going top do the same and listen to it again. with the family..

thanks, I listened in one sitting I will be at your website for the time being
