Dare
To Prepare
A4, 544 pages - Paperback
Over 240 Photos!
"This is the first non-Azurite Press book that the Guardians and Speakers urge
ALL to read and act upon".
Written by Holly Drennan Deyo with an introduction by Stan Deyo, this
magnificent work is THE ultimate city-suburban-rural emergency preparedness
reference book. Dare To Prepare covers 544 pages, A4 format paperback - about
the size of a telephone book. Over 240 photographs and illustrations, plus many
charts and tables, make personalized preparedness super simple.
61 chapters are dedicated to step-by-step preparation in simple English, much of
which you will find nowhere else, as well as personal anecdotes. All the
information you need to store provisions long and short-term is included besides
detailed instructions of long-forgotten skills that's fun for the entire family.
Lots of options are given to make your planning as flexible and personalized as
possible. Dare To Prepare empowers you to store confidently for as little or as
long as you like using both metric and US measurements throughout.
Dare To Prepare is geared to the city, urban, suburban and rural person, and has
useful information for everyone including apartment dwellers and folks on low
income. It's a reference manual for practical living whether or not we are in
crisis and how to save money at the same time.
Dare To Prepare is many books in one - a mini-encyclopedia. It contains the
most vital material to keep you safe and prepare you for life's challenges.
Additionally, Dare teaches you many useful and fun practical skills. Kids will
enjoy them, too, and their involvement let's them understand preparation is a
normal part of life, not a scary thing.
Dare is a large format book on A4 paper and 544 pages. You will not find large
margins, large print or wasted space. We have squeezed the Dare To Prepare
margins to contain the most information possible.
Included is a 5 500 word and phrase index to easily locate information quickly.
As well as over 240 photos and many charts to make personalized planning super
simple. Below, you'll find a condensed Table of Contents, but it's enough to
give you an idea of what's covered.
Preparedness is not waiting for the government to bail us out of trouble; it IS
taking personal responsibility. It IS. . . daring to prepare!
