If you were temporarily out of work, how long could you sustain yourself and your family in a near-normal manner? To what natural, man-caused, or personal disasters are you vulnerable? If the transportation system were disrupted, how long could you and your family live on the food in your home? Do you know what to store, how much you need, or where to get it?

In today's world you can't afford to be unprepared. If you want the security of being able to live from your own personal resources for up to a year regardless of external conditions, Making the Best of Basics will show you how. With over 800,000 copies sold, Making the Best of Basics has long been the standard resource for in-home food storage and family preparedness. Edition 12.5 has been expanded, revised, and updated. Making the Best of Basics is the most comprehensive single volume ever compiled on in-home storage.

Making the Best of Basics Family Preparedness Handbook provides:

• A plan for acquiring and maintaining your in-home food storage
• Charts defining what foods and nonfoods to buy for your in-home storage
• A Family Factor to determine quantities of foods and other items for your family

 
Peace of mind follows preparation. Let Making the Best of Basics do for you what it has already done for more than a generation—make preparation both possible and manageable—and give your family a measure of security in an uncertain world.

Additional notes: The ratings are for cosmetic condition only. All Clearance Store merchandise is guaranteed to function perfectly. Items are offered under normal terms of sale: Please review policies before ordering. Some clearance items ship in plain (but carefully boxed) packaging, rather than the manufacturer’s original carton. Important: All clearance items may have been exposed to various allergenic foods. Bottom Line: If you’re a highly detail-oriented person, we recommend sticking to “R1.” But after a week’s use, the only real difference between one of these items and a brand new one will be the money you saved.
