Review: Ordered a second copy for my daughter - Just finished this book and loved it so much I ordered a copy for my daughter (she can't have mine:)). The author shares a lot of valuable information in this book. It's clear she has been doing this for a while. The book is not perfect and is certainly lacking in some areas. I still gave it 5 stars just do to the fact that despite it's shortcomings the information provided is well worth the cost of the book and while she may not cover everything in depth she touches on just about everything (concerning emergency preparedness not self-sufficiency) which makes it a nice guide to have. I appreciate the fact that she shares some of her mistakes that she has made along with her successes. I also liked that she was budget conscious throughout the book. Shes does provide a number of links as well as book recommendations to supplement the material. I certainly did not expect it to be 100% comprehensive given the massive size of the topic. It definitely gave me some great ideas and also got me thinking about what all I should be focusing on. It's a great book for basic emergency preparedness. Not so much a great primer for SHTF scenarios. An example, would be the fact that there was no real discussion of the fact that after a few days of a major shutdown when people who have not prepared start getting hungry, that you will be a target. or that when you evacuate you may run into people setting traps to ambush you. These are not pleasant things to talk about and if that is not her bag nor her cup of tea (and clearly it's not), I think those subject are important enough to at least bear mention. I would have liked to seen more information concerning dealing with a pandemic as well. She mentions that a filter mask is worthless (I'm not so sure how true that is) but there no mention of gas mask filters. In short, I think she covers well the things she has personal experience with. Stocking water and food, canning, non-electric alternatives for cooking and lighting, and gives you enough information to provide you with a framework of other information you will want to study further. Just buy it. Related note: I had bough The Prepper's Pocket Guide at the same time and while I haven't read through it all in detail, I can say right of the bat that I'm much more impressed with this book than that one. Review: Good book. Hits many categories. - Purchased this book as a gift for a friend. We personally are not new to prepping, but our friend is. When I thumbed through this book, I liked what I saw. This writer writes in a way that is basic and easy to understand. She explains the basics of what to buy, how to store it, and ideas for locating space for storing whatever. There are so many other topics she hits as well, and all I could think was, "I wish I had this book when I began prepping years ago." It's laid out very well and she has simple, yet effective ideas. If you are a beginner, you may consider this purchase. I hate to sound sexist or whatever, but you can tell this book is written by a female, because she is detailed and thinks of topics to discuss that many male writers don't elaborate on. For example, one topic she addresses is what to do with the children when the lights go out (during emergency). Did you think about storing board games, books, puzzles, coloring books w/crayons, maybe crafts, glue, construction paper, et... You get the idea. That's a woman's touch to prepping, for sure. She takes care of the kid category, as well as others that a male writer may forget. I liked this book. Yes, I recommend it. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #325,860 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #10 in Security How-to & Home Improvement #587 in Do-It-Yourself Home Improvement (Books) #11,869 in Self-Help (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 441 Reviews | ## Images ![Just in Case: How to be Self-Sufficient when the Unexpected Happens - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91HO-HRp6oL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ordered a second copy for my daughter *by A***B on April 22, 2014* Just finished this book and loved it so much I ordered a copy for my daughter (she can't have mine:)).

Hits many categories. *by C***. on August 18, 2015* Purchased this book as a gift for a friend. We personally are not new to prepping, but our friend is.

Yes, I recommend it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great book for basic preparedness *by L***K on May 12, 2009* This book covers many categories of family preparedness - food and water storage, heating (and the dangers of fire and carbon monoxide in the home), first aid, threats from weather, earthquakes or civil unrest, and basic information for someone just realizing how important these things are. The book is organized into easy to read chapters, with charts, drawings and bulleted blocks. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn how to keep their family safe, organized and unafraid in emergencies. The only drawback, in my opinion, is that the author is rather preachy about global warming, peak oil and recycling. I don't think her personal opinions belong in this type of book. For the reviewer who asked about an appendix showing where to buy the items she recommends - do a quick search on the Internet and you will find many places selling survival equipment and long term storage foods. I recommend Lehmans dot com and beprepared dot com for starters. ## Frequently Bought Together - Just in Case: How to be Self-Sufficient when the Unexpected Happens - SAS Survival Handbook, Third Edition: A Comprehensive Course in Emergency and Wilderness Medicine - The Survival Medicine Handbook: The Essential Guide for When Help is NOT on the Way --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/9220269-just-in-case-how-to-be-self-sufficient-when-unexpected](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/9220269-just-in-case-how-to-be-self-sufficient-when-unexpected) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-05-28*
