Ep 115: Children’s Preparedness
So how do you get a kid started on the prepper’s path to survival? How old do they need to be to begin the journey? These are a few of the issues we’ll be tackling today. Today’s episode is a book review. In a later episode, I’ll go into detail on these subjects with regard to children. Today, I’m just reviewing a book I love.
If you want to get a grade school kid interested in prepping and survival, I have a book recommendation for you:

- Walking in cities
- Cell phones for survival

Yeah, This book is awesome and has just the right amount of survival skills in many situations. My daughter has a copy, and I want to buy more for my extended family.
