Publisher's summary

Getting started with the concept of prepping can be a case of information overload. There is so much to think about and so much to do and purchase that people often give up on the idea before they even start.

This audiobook is especially for those people, it tells them all about the first item any prepper should have ready - a bug-out bag. It explains what bugging out means and why they should have a bug-out bag with survival kit for 72 hours ready to go.

The step-by-step approach means that it is easy to follow, meaning everyone can have a quality bug-out gear prepared for when a disaster strikes. It tells you exactly what is in a bug-out bag and gives you a list of bug-out kit items that you will need. None, of this bug-out gear is expensive, which means that everyone can actually have a bug-out bag ready to go when disaster strikes.

The book explains why each and every member of your family needs to have their own bug-out bag and what that bag must contain. When disaster does strike, it is indiscriminate. It will hit everyone. It will be left to you to ensure that you can keep your family alive until help arrives. This book will help you do just that.

Quick and efficent

I liked how brief this was but it still gave a great starter list fo what to consider. I would love some additional versions with even more details, but this was great to understand the basics of what is needed, how to organize it, how often to train or retrain on certain necessary skills, and even how to help manage bugging out with a family. I didn't get bogged down at any point with missing the relevance for me and my husband.

Very good

It's straight to the point and very practical, I enjoyed it and look forward to the next one.

good, quick

While I don't really see the point of choosing 3 random places a mile from your house to hide in the woods, the rest of the info was pretty helpful

Very informative, basic and easy to follow.

Great Read, this is perfect for those just getting into this as well for the ones that have been doing this.

great inspiration

Probably ranks in the middle somewhere, because it's not a story, but a book of information only.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Build a Brilliant Bug-out Bag and Beyond!?

The fact that if I tried to do this on my own, I would've forgotten quite a few "essentials" ... such as T.P.!

No

Short, sweet & to the point

Excellent short book, full of very useful, pertinent information. The reader has a voice easy to listen to and he speaks at just the right pace- slow enough to really hear and understand what he is saying without being so slow that it’s irritating.

The information is very useful and he recaps each section with a list of what items he just talked about. I will be listening to this again as I review & organize my bug out bags.

Simple specific and just what you need.

I read many of these books on bug out bags and preparation and found that this book is although very basic it does provide a simple look at an approach of preparing ones self and his family to be ready to bug out in an event appropriate for its use. Great book for the first time of prepping without really deep focused explanations of many many different skills and supplies or products but covers s good general terms easy to understand to get the job done. Overall I liked it and learned a few things. Good luck.

Short and sweet

Just enough to get you thinking and a nice starting point for your bug out bag and caching supplies if safe spots are required.

Perfect for Beginners

This was exactly what I was looking for; it was simple and to the point! Only issue I had was the recording was not very good but the information was solid. Thank you!
