Thank you for grabbing your copy of the 2019 ASG Fall/Winter Prepper Manual! This manual is published twice a year, in Spring and Fall, and each is geared toward the specific needs and concerns brought on by the coming seasons. It’s organized according to our Six Pillars of Survival — Water, Food, Shelter, Security, Health and Communications. With an eye toward how the weather and environments we face at this time of y ear present their unique threats to our security and safety, each section provides useful insights, advice and some suggestions for gear that can help you deal with challenges in each of these areas.
