Up to Speed: A Prepper's Guide is just a discussion about what steps and in what order to take them in order to be ready for disasters, manmade or otherwise. It's good information with some humor thrown in for flavor.

The book has been carefully broken up into levels of importance. It begins by addressing a survival mindset. It then goes on to discuss ways we can set ourselves up for success when it to comes to reuniting with loved ones, having a home to come home to, and finally what we should consider as we step out of our homes in order to keep our families safe. Up to Speed tries to take the daunting task of protecting what is truly important to us and break it down into small manageable pieces.

This is not a survivalist book. This is just a discussion and shouldn't be considered the end-all in preppers' manuals. In it you will find references to many other books that will supplement your preparedness library.
