Testimonials

“Jeffery has an incredible knowledge for preparedness and is able to explain it very well to the average person in a way that is digestible, straight forward and clear. It isn't too dull or oversaturated like other preparedness resources. Just what I was looking for to help my family be prepared for everyday emergencies."”

Hillary F.

“Filled with highly detailed information but made accessible for all audiences to grasp. It provides tangible material to practice in order to improve one’s preparedness efforts and plans. It explores relevant concepts such as social capital and relates such topics to how to build your personal preparedness plan. This type of material is usual oversimplified or under-explained but Donaldson’s finds the right balance and hits the nail on the head on various preparedness topics. ”
