Rate this book
Learn how middle ground prepping can get you prepared without taking over your life.

Somewhere in between the fanatical preppers highlighted on the hit reality show "Doomsday Preppers" and the millions of Americans who have done nothing to assemble emergency supplies lies "middle ground prepping." Middle ground prepping is a concept that provides a measured and reasonable approach for novices to prepare for impending emergencies or disasters in order to protect yourself and your family.

By simply following the Planning, Acquiring, Responding, Training, and Evaluating steps you will experience considerable peace of mind and knowledge that your family is prepared to survive any disaster that may come your way. You can be a sensible prepper on your schedule without becoming obsessed with over-the-top preparedness notions and low probability theoretical disasters.

I was given a copy of this book by the author. I was not asked to review the book.

When people think of "prepping" and "Preppers" they often get the mental image of crazy people with garages full of canned goods and a secret underground bunker in the back yard. This book is not about those people.

Jim uses his years of experience as a CERT instructor to provide people with a realistic approach to being prepared for many "normal" emergencies such as a fire or earthquake, not the coming zombie apocalypse. As someone that lives far from any major city I found the information in the book useful and helpful in putting together our own emergency plans. If you have often thought that you might not be ready for the next earthquake or flood, but didn't want to go full "Prepper", this book may be the guide that you need.
