Are you prepared? I sure wasn’t.

Our global system is terrifyingly fragile. From wildfires to supply-chain shortages to pandemics, we've seen a record number of crises all at once. So what do we do?

We prep!

This guide covers my adventures in everything from storing water to purchasing solar generators. At the end of each chapter, you'll complete practical exercises that will get you, and your family, prepared for the scenarios you are most concerned with. And I'll even throw in some humor!

Brand New Prepper introduces the concept of a PACE plan, borrowed from the military. We apply this life-saving technique to the following areas, in easy-to-approach ways:

• Shelter
• Water
• Food
• Power
• Gear
• Skills
• Go bags
• Tools
• Prepper terminology and mindset

Join us, prepper! The best time to prepare is right now. Take action to secure your future.
