The Grid-Down Handbook

A practical preparedness handbook from Trails End, and a companion to the novel Grid Down. When the power goes out and stays out, what do you do first? This 134-page book walks you through it in plain language: finding water and making it safe, storing water at home with tanks and gravity, food that keeps, cooking without power, the medicine shelf, staying fed with small game, traps and a garden, keeping your stores safe, and full checklists for water, food, medicine, tools, and skills. Written for ordinary folks on a real homestead. By Okey and Susan Barker.
