Author Description

“8 Easy Steps to Disaster Prepping” is a survival book detailing eight simple steps to prepare for any short-term disaster. This book includes tips and suggestions to help the newbie get started in creating a solid prepping base that can eventually be built into a more long-term plan. The 8 steps are nicely detailed throughout the book and it includes the author’s own personal Disaster Prepping List that readers can use as a template to tweak as they create their own versions of it. Tanyard Whitebloom is not new to survival prepping. In this introduction he admits, “I started this book not knowing that I was actually writing one. As I spoke to several friends about prepping, they all replied, “I know I have to do that, but I just don’t know where to start!” So I thought I would write down a few survival tips for them. Those tips ended up being several pages long and the basis for this book. I guess I know so much about prepping because I have been interested in survival planning since before it was really popular. This comes from the fact that I have been in just about every type of natural disaster since I was a kid.” In this book Whitebloom urges everyone to “start somewhere” and begin to prepare with simple survival plans for disaster. There are several scenarios Whitebloom mentions in this book for which to prep. These include Survival plans for economic collapse, prepping for floods, prepping for earthquakes, prepping for blackouts, prepping for hurricanes, prepping for tornadoes, and prepping for civil unrest. Whitebloom’s eight steps can be applied to them all.
