Great story, even though only 2 hours 48 minutes, packed with prepping info

in an entertaining story.

3 couples form the nucleus of a prepping group, Don and Kate, Ed and Anne,

and Bud and Mary. They prepped for 4 years before the EMP hit.

Don, retired from the military after 20 years, and his wife Kate, a banker, live on

a 6 acre ranch, which is the bug-out location..

Ed is a firefighter, and his wife Anne, a hospital worker.

Bud is a general contractor and his wife Mary a schoolteacher.

Lots of useful information. Use of ATVs. Don helped some stranded motorists

and his neighbors when the EMP first hit with rides and practical advice, while

still putting his own family first. Practical advice was get groceries, go home,

and hunker down.

Much practical advice discussed about advance planning, need for group support,

wisdom in planning several routes, rally points etc.

Listened to twice. I will listen to it several more time to help get in my memory

the good points.

Nice story line about the loving relationships of the 3 couples.

I recommend this book and will buy the sequel.
