Surely I am not the only one who browses the book rack at Tractor Supply and then takes pictures of the books I find interesting so I can check them out of the library later?? 😂 This one caught my eye the other day, but while there is some good info here, it was a #borrownotbuy read for me. At only around 150pgs, this isn't a book intended to delve into the depths of prepping, but if you find yourself wishing you had some emergency food ⬇️

The word “prepper“ has frequently been associated with wild-eyed conspiracy theorists in hidden bunkers, but I think we've all seen over the last couple of years how fragile many of supply chains are, and how a sudden weather event can knock out the power and cause a lot of trouble.

There are some really convenient charts here for assessing your pantry and making sure you have balanced food groups (for instance, I definitely need more beans/protein).

I'm out of free spaces, so this one can't go on my #BookSpinBingo board (I am doing a really bad job staying focused on my list this month!!). However it does go towards my #NovelNovember goal - I'm at 1561pages for the week!! @Andrew65 2y

Andrew65 Well done 👏👏👏 2y
