The Prepper's Water Survival Guide: Harvest, Treat, and Store Your Most Vital Resource (Preppers) Kindle Edition

This is a good, thorough look at water. It contains a lot of good ideas and information. Water is a MUST so, make sure you have it or a source readily available.

Easy to read and good suggestions.

book printing looks like it was run off a copy machine but still readable.

This is an excellent book. First, water is the most important thing to worry about. The rule of 3 for survival is: 3 minutes without air, 3 days without water and 3 weeks without food. The most likely shortage you will face in an emergency is water. Contaminated water is one of the most dangerous ways that disease such as cholera is transmitted. This book goes through various filtering and purification techniques. It points out the important supply of water that most people don't even think about....their hot water heater.The book is written from the point of view of individual preparation. However, if we as a nation suffer something like an EMP attack or bio-terror attack, we will have to react as a community and nation as well. Digging a latrine in an area of high rise apartments isn't a plan. My book, "One Second After...in San Diego" (fictional) addresses the reaction of the 3 million people in San Diego County led by the military. As Daisy Luther points out, we use much more water for sanitation purposes than the 1 gallon a day for drinking. In my book, the sanitation problem is solved by using saltwater and untreated water from the reservoirs. The drinking water is from hot water heater tanks and filtering water with simple backpacking filters. Water may be our most important need, but humans are our most important resources....when they work as a team.

This was a fairly small, easy-to-read guide to everything you'd need to know about water (and its uses) in both regular and challenging times. This includes details on why it's crucial, how to conserve it, how to filter it but also other related things like how to build a latrine, how to deal with different kinds of waste and trash if there's no water or garbage service, etc. This is a good handbook to reference both before and during emergencies.

I bought this book as part of a gift of two books about water harvesting and storage for prepper’s, for my father. My dad loves reading prepper’s guides and information. I picked this one for him because it targeted something he was really interested in: water. This book has so much information. It begins with a great introduction, explaining the importance of water and why we need to be so careful with it. The book contains information about why everyone needs to have an idea of a safe water supply, including non-preppers. It provides incidences in which safe water was scarce for a time. It convinced me to continue reading the book, even as a non-prepper myself! It outlines ways of storing water safely (did you know milk jugs are not a good option?) as well as harvesting the water. Most interesting to me were the chapters on purifying water and finding emergency sources of water. I found it completely fascinating and I learned so much! I highly recommend this book to anyone, especially if they are preppers or if they just find water information such as this interesting. I thought it was so useful and I feel a little better knowing about how to collect, store, and purify water!

I would like more pictures, diagrams, and data. Maybe some historical instances of recent disasters and how the victims either did the right thing or the wrong thing. Case studies can paint a good picture in the mind. Also, it would be cool if you considered alternative means to find and carry water. (Like four x5 gallon buckets on my electric cargo bike filled at the reservoir 2 miles from my house?) I think you coul use farFar more data from the CDC and WHO. I was surprised you never mentioned cleaning dishes with spraying hydrogen peroxide and vinegar for waterless cleaning, the three-basin camp kitchen, and the official order of operations for a hospital bed bath. Yes, people need to be told to wash their face before their pits, feet, and genitalia. This book needs a second addition! It could be so much more.

I thought this book was well written and comprehensive. It have facts and reasons and did not fill the reader with fear, but with truth and a game plan.It's not a crazy thing to plan for disaster. Not even an apocalypse, but the chance that over the course of one's life, there could be a problem with having access to clean water. I already keep two gallons of water on hand, but I need to do plan for at least a gallon a day for at least two weeks. Luther shows the reader how to accomplish this without breaking the bank.The biggest thing I took from Luther's book is to be prepared as use any resource availabe accordingly. Drinking water is obviously a big deal, buthe without water on hand for washing and sanitizing, a variety of issues can still arise, including death.Not to end on a down note, there are things in this book anyone can use daily. If you travel, make sure you have plenty of water on hand (should be obvious, but...) and one can make their own homemade electrolyte drink in a pinch! No need for Gatorade when most people already have the proper ingredients in their home!

Its a good book to have about water. Easy to read and helpful.Small so it fits in a bag if you are on a hiking trip or in the field.

This book exceeded my expectations. Lots of water related information inside and easy to read. I also appreciate the author's down to earth writing style. This was my first introduction to Daisy Luther and from this book I found her website, The Organic Prepper.

This booked helped with that in an accessible (for lower income north American) fashion.
