BOOK REVIEW: SURVIVAL OF THE SMARTEST

 “Survival of the Smartest: The First 72 Hours”by Aaron Turpen

About the Author:
Aaron Turpen is a well-known and prolific author whose works on a variety of subjects have appeared all over the Internet.

Description:

A new electronic book from Aaron Turpen and Truth2America.com, Survival of the Smartest is a detailed guide to getting through any disaster, natural or man-made.

Being ready for hurricanes, earthquakes, floods, tornadoes, and financial collapse are all things that many Americans are now taking seriously.

This growing trend of “preppers” has seen, often first hand, that government and even emergency services cannot be counted on to be there when disaster strikes. Taking the initiative to be prepared is the best way to find security for you and your family.

The guide walks through:

• Keeping Your Head During Emergency Situations
• Making a Disaster Supply Kit for Your Family
• Shutting Off Your Home’s Utilities In An Emergency
• Dealing With An Evacuation (whether you go or not)
• Specific Disaster Situations like:
• Earthquakes
• Floods
• Hurricanes and Tornadoes
• Nuclear Incidents, Tsunamis, and even Volcano Eruptions!
• And Much Much More

You’ll learn how (and why) to make a 72-hour Bug Out Bag, an in-home disaster kit, and even kits for your vehicles.

For the beginning prepper who’s just starting out, everything you need to know is included and ready to go. Most can have their initial preparations (and the peace of mind that comes with them) within hours!

My thoughts
I just finished reading the ebook, Survival of the Smartest: The First 72 Hours.  It’s a book about being prepared for disasters that could happen – whether natural or man-made – and what to do during the first 72 hours or 3 days.

I was very impressed with this book…it was fast, and simple to read. I would recommend this book to just about anyone. You never know when a disaster – either natural or man made (for example: war) could happen. Its better to be prepared, and this book WILL prepare you and your family to be ready in case something does happen. I plan on taking what I learned from this book to create our own safety plan in case of a fire, tornado (we already have one in place), and more.

I really liked how it came with a basic check list of what to pack in your bag/kit. You may not think to pack extra blankets, batteries, and/or flashlights for example. This book is a nice safety measure, and a MUST for any one in the world. Almost every natural or man made disaster is mentioned, and there is a chapter for each for “what to do in case of ______”.  

Its very scary to think of the unexpected and what-if’s, but it is essential that you take the time before-hand, just in case something does happen. One chapter that I have never really considered, was “dealing with an evacuation”. Think of all those people who were affected by Hurricane Katrina, or the most recent tornadoes that have destroyed cities throughout the Midwest. What would you do? Are you prepared? Do you know what to do in case something like a tornado/hurricane/earth quake would occur?

I urge each and every one of you to read this book! It not only will provide a safety net, but it could potentially save your life someday! I am very thankful for never have been through any BIG storms, other than some small tornadoes here and there. But that’s what living in Missouri is all about. I hope that all of you, no matter where you live in the world – take the time to know what to do, and have a plan, no matter what the circumstances. Like I said before, its better to be prepared and safe, than sorry.
