Preparing to Prepare: A General Guide to Self-Sufficiency & Preparedness takes a duration-based approach to the potential disruptions or calamities that might befall an individual, family, community, or region. These disruptions to daily life could be weather-related, societal, or originate from unexpected places like health problems and loss of employment. Preparing to Prepare walks the reader through personal assessments by asking the reader to answer very specific thought-provoking questions geared toward helping them understand their environment and the potential pitfalls that life may throw at them. Readers aren't left hanging though as Mr. Kershner provides clarity as he proposes solutions, concepts, suggestions, lists, and points to make note of in order to handle minor (1-week max), moderate (1-3 weeks max), and major (4-weeks +) disruptions to everyday life.
