If I were you I would purchase every book Jim Cobb has written. He is an expert in the field of emergency preparedness. His no-nonsense approach we can all relate too. Every community should have every book Jim has written. If we lose power you will NEED his books. I promise. I teach emergency preparedness and I love his books and recommend them to everyone I teach.

I really wanted to give this book five stars. It is well written and the layout is attractive. However, unlike other reviewers, I found very little in the book that dealt specifically with dealing urban settings. Security, light control, structure hardening, and desperate neighbors are not unique to the urban setting. I was hoping for insight into things like best practices for vehicle and foot travel in built-up areas, neighborhood networking and patrols, etc.
If you have backpacking experience much of this book will be very familiar. For example, fire starting, building shelters, open fire cooking, and the odd admonition on page 133 regarding open fires: “Just always be certain to have plenty of ventilation and avoid sitting too close to the fire where you end up breathing more smoke than air”. Really?
The one section of the book that I thought provided some excellent insight was regarding bathing and laundry. Both are neglected topics in other works I have read.
If you are new to preparedness planning then I recommend this book. If you are an experienced camper, hunter, or backpacker I recommend you look for a more advanced resource. Contact! by Max Velocity, How to Survive the End of the World as We Know It by Rawles, Where There Is No Doctor, Wilderness First Responder by Tilton, etc.

Basic info u can get by going to websites. Nothing new or spectacular, just read 5 or 10 websites. That’s it.

Good book to help you weather the storm (of any kind).

This book is so unlike most of the prepper books out there in that it is written in plain-speak and is definitely geared towards us average city / suburb dwellers. Really practical, useable advice. You may read some things that you don’t want to hear, but this is not a doom / gloom, scare-tactic text. It’s based in reality and provides good insights and logical steps that you can take to be safe in the event of most any kind of disaster. Get it. Read it. Follow it.

Jim Cobb has wrote a good quality introduction to the subject of urban prepping.
I strongly recommend it as it’s written by a writer who knows his subject matter well.
There’s a lot of good quality information contained within the book.

Another well written, very useful book by Jim Cobb. I am not a very big fan of reading books, but I have problems, whenever I open a Jim Cobb book, being able to put it down before I have finished it. I have now read every single Jim Cobb book, and his next two releases have been pre-ordered.

This book won’t tell you how to survive deep in a national park, but it has really great advice for what you should have and do in an emergency at home, work, or on the road. And also if you have to bug out. I keep referring back to this book time and again. Great purchase.

This book is a really easy and logical read. Each chapter tells a story of a community that’s been through TEOTWAWKI and is rebuilding people’s lives. A good dose of reality and one that has hope for us. He is clear and keeps advice simple and basic. Nothing cutesy or alarmist. This one is at my top of list of books to really study and read over and over!
