I picked up a copy of a new book by a woman named Bernie Carr called The Prepper&#8217;s Pocket Guide: 101 Easy Things You Can Do to Ready Your Home for a Disaster. It&#8217;s a good guide for those of you who just want the basics of DIY projects that you can do to get your home prepared for a variety of problems from earthquakes to hurricanes. She also gives a step-by-step guide to such 101 things to do such as disinfecting water with sunlight, learning to build a solar still, learning to distill water, and learning to purify water. Separate sections give information for different disasters such as how to prepare for a tornado, hurricane or even an ice storm.]]>Sat, 28 Apr 2012 10:08:46 -0400<![CDATA[Helen Smith]]>https://pjmedia.com/helen-smith/2012/04/28/is-the-economy-causing-women-to-think-more-about-survivalism-n139809
