Built to Survive: Food Without Shops: A Practical Guide to Storing, Cooking and Growing Food During a Crisis (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798177708409)

When shops close, deliveries stop or the power fails, food becomes a problem of safety, timing and control, not simply quantity.

Built to Survive: Food Without Shops is a practical field manual for managing household food during disruption. It shows how to identify what is genuinely safe to eat, decide what must be used first, prepare meals without mains power and move from stored supplies towards controlled preservation and food production.

Inside you will learn how to:

• build and maintain an accurate household food inventory
• create no-cook meals and plan safer alternative cooking
• ration supplies without ignoring nutrition
• respond to fridge and freezer failure
• understand the limits of drying, salting, smoking, fermentation, bottling and canning
• approach wild food and fishing without dangerous assumptions
• establish a realistic growing and resupply plan

Each chapter follows the same direct structure: first actions, prepared methods, household alternatives, minimal-equipment options, long-term adjustments, failure signs, practical exercises, checklists and knowledge reviews.

Written in clear UK English for households, preppers, campers and anyone preparing for shortages, power cuts, transport disruption or longer emergencies.
