Grossly overpriced!
The information in the book is typical - nothing new - You can get other books for one-fourth of the price. May I recommend, "Roughing it Easy","Cooking with Home Storage", or any Amish cookbook? There are a lot of books with more information out there. If this book were less expensive, I would not have expected so much. Very disappointing! I would never recommend it.

detailed, creative and easy to follow directions
I have stocked my shelves for any catastrophe that might come our way. I knew our family would not starve but was beginning to be concerned about how I was going to put together easy and tasty meals from a can. How was I going to bake or cook them, too? The Reid's book has taken the guesswork out of the mealplanning. What a much needed book in these times we may face! I have made the oven box following the simple instructions - you are a genius, Chuck! We had a great time doing it, too. My kids are amazed that we can bake a meal - if we have to- in a cardborad box!

An easy reading, practical disaster food planning guide
We have this book and have read it and used it. It is an easy reading and practical book that gets you ready for disaster situations. After having our home severely damaged in two California earthquakes, we appreciate the step-by-step instructions on setting up a disaster food pantry with nutritious foods we can use (not camping freeze dried fare) and can rotate through our normal food planning. And you get the recipes for using the food to boot! We also made our cardboard oven and cooked in it, and it works! It's a great family project and will put your kids at ease knowing you are good scouts and well prepared!
