Review: Good ideas - Good read
Review: One of the most important books a prepper can own! - "Grid Down" isn't something many people have experienced - or want to experience. Imagine a day when mains electricity stops working. No phones, no internet, TV or radio, no water out of the tap, no electric cooker, no flushing toilet, but that is just the start. In a matter of days there will be no food in the shops and potentially violence in the streets as people realise the enormity of their situation. War, weather and other natural disasters can destroy critical power stations in seconds. A terrifying concept if you aren't prepared for it. Preparing to survive (prepping) is rapidly becoming a 'mainstream' interest as we begin to face financial ruin, possible war and climactic change. Each presented a unique set of challenges that needed to be faced without a book of instructions. However, Ted Riley has used his extensive knowledge and understanding to create a comprehensive handbook to alert people to the dangers and explain ways to combat them. Although written ostensibly for a U.S. audience, IMHO, this book is appropriate for an intelligent British readership. It offers ideas that will work in almost any setting and even if it is ‘light on detail’ a little research will fill in any gaps. One book will never answer all the questions! As a long term prepper (30 years and counting) I'm well aware of potential issues but I gleaned a huge amount from Ted's book. All kinds of strategies and 'hacks' to cope with negative situations alongside lists, instructions and so much more make this an invaluable publication for newbies and experienced preppers alike. Don't take my word for it, go and get a copy for yourself, you won't regret it!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good beginner guide
*by T***B on 13 August 2024*

Interesting book, gives basic ideals and products you can purchase. This is an American writer so not all products can be brought in the UK but you can find similar on Amazon and from other retailers. Overall a good book, especially for anyone wanting basic ideas and not an overload of info. Probably not for anyone looking for a more advanced and detailed info.
