Drinkable water:

He explains the most effective filtration system to buy in case that government-supplied water is not available or is too dangerous to drink.

Radio:

The book also adds other must-haves including a radio that can pick up FM, AM and shortwave frequencies and can be charged without a power source for a situation of an outage.

Weapons:

He also discusses weapons and writes about guns, their preparation and use for occasions when your closest ones are truly threatened, and safety must be obtained at any cost.

Stuff I Absolutely Hate About This Product

Quite simply, the drawback of the book is the time it uses at the outset to outline conspiracy theories that make preparation not an option but a certainty.

For those who agree with this expert, none of this will sound unfamiliar.

For those who have not delved into the world of the doomsday prepper — a term for someone who believes they are under threat of attack by government takeover, economic shutdown or some cataclysmic religious event — they may be more surprised and even unwilling to continue reading.

That is a shame since Mitchell offers some very good tips that could be applied to a number of other situations as well.

These, however, will be useless if the reader is spooked by his tales of impending doom. This is more of an issue since the number of books on family survival is multiplying at a fast rate.

There are other experts out there such as Alec Deacon with many of the same tricks (see the end of this review for more info) without such a long political and social commentary.

The first thing to know is that this short PDF file isn’t a guide for surviving a storm or flood. It is designed for those who want to be ready in case there is no longer food or safe drinking water available, and families find themselves literally fighting for resources with others.

That said, Mitchell’s experience and knowledge help provide a lot of helpful tips and instruction that could be useful in a variety of situations that are less serious than complete anarchy.

Preparing yourself for anything is never a bad idea. Political commentary aside, this system is a good basic tool for helping you to be ready for anything.

Review of Berkey Water Filtration & Purification Systems

30 comments

  1. I’ve never heard of this system before, but then again I’m a novice prepper. I like the idea of being able to bug in, but I live in an apartment building. I’ve been trying to think of ways that I can bug in somewhere in the building without being detected. It’s 31 floors, so there’s got to be some nook or cranny here.

    I do need some better water filtration ideas. I like to have anywhere from 3-5 possible ideas stored in my head so that if something were to happen I’m not stuck with one technique.

    • That is really great approach to water obtaining! Always have plan B, C & D prepared in order to replace those which will fail.

  2. I have the Family Survival System. My sister and her husband have taught me the importance of being at least somewhat prepared, so we’ve been slowly stocking up and learning all that we can. There’s plenty to learn when you’re a beginner, but this book does help you cut to the chase. Plus he shares some tips that I haven’t seen in any of the other guides I have. Good luck!

  3. I was one of those people who thought the survivalists were kind of overboard. But when Hurricane Katrina hit and people were unprepared to deal with the disaster, I became a believer. Being prepared doesn’t make you crazy. It’s one of the smartest things you can do. I strongly recommend Mitchell’s ebook. I have it and I love it.

    • I can only agree with you Cork. You do not have to be a conspiracy believer and expecting whole society to fall, but it is great to be prepared for situations of natural disasters that will be occurring sooner or later.

  4. Hunter Won't be Hunted

    I don’t have this book yet, but I heard about this guy on another forum. He definitely knows what he’s talking about if you need good survival advice. He appears to be very straight forward.

    And even though it’s geared towards Americans, I think this is advice anyone can use in case of an emergency. I have lived out of the US on two different occasions, and both times I’ve had some type of prepping material on hand. Doesn’t matter where you are, being prepared for disaster never hurts.

    • Sure, this program can be applied even for situations outside of the US. Yes, Frank is really great expert in this field and has plenty of stuff to share with you.

  5. I got this a while ago. I like it because he talks about protecting yourself in a variety of situations. Most preppers are ready for one main problem (nuclear war, for example), but what if the disaster that hits isn’t the one you’ve been preparing for. I like being ready for a variety of situations, and that’s what makes the Family Survival System so important.

    • That is my observation too. Many of preppers are focusing solely on one main catastrophic scenario while excluding others.

  6. I am very interested in giving this a read. Normally I am a bit hesitant to get into anything that a doomsday prepper talks about, but there is a possibility of a global event happening that can torture the world big time. I suppose it’s better to be safe than sorry.

  7. Sounds like a worthy investment. I mean, if it teaches me ways of survival, I’m all for it. Learning to defend myself as well as filtering water, that in itself is a proper skill to have and I don’t know how to do either right now.

  8. I always imagine a post apocalyptic world where there’s some kind of drought, so this is something I can totally get behind getting. I’ve always had the doomsday prepper mentality anyways. Lets face it, there’s a potential for such an event to happen.

  9. I will be honest when I say I really am not into the whole doomsday prepper thing, but I know an important book when I see it. I’m going to be purchasing this very soon, as I love reading about survival and ways of survival. I am not one who would survive if anything major was to happen, so hopefully this book series is for me. 😉

  10. I am eagerly interested in learning more about survival. Lets face it, there is a potential risk of bad things to happen, so I feel I should learn some survival techniques just in case of a big event.

    • You definitely need to know techniques of starting fire, building shelter and obtaining food and water.

  11. Preparing for the worst should be on peoples agenda. There’s a potential chance of many catastrophic events to happen in the near future. Of course there’s a chance most of us will be gone before anything major happens, but we don’t know this. We could face a big event any day, and that’s why I think preparing is a good thing.

  12. I could use a survival strategy guide like this, actually I think something bad will happen in the near/coming future and I worry about my family and friends who’re too naive to realize the possible chance. I know I will be getting this series just to be safe.

    • That is really the best and most reliable approach you could take in order to protect your family that neglects possibilities of world and civilization as we know it changing significantly.

  13. I am one who believes the future is full or war and drought, so I constantly worry when that day will come. I believe I’ll be ready for that time because of the many survival techniques I’ve learned over the years. Hopefully these series can teach me even more.

    • Well, to be honest these are basics plus advanced stuff so probably you will learn something new!

  14. Frank Mitchell is great for informing everyone of the proper way of survival these days. Many people are hesitant to believe in an apocalyptic event, or some even that could bring upon war. It can happen any day, any second and we need to be ready.

    • You are really totally right Penny. Hopefully more and more people will be getting prepared sooner or later.

  15. I am very happy to say the family survival system is fantastic and well written material. Mr. Mitchell has something good on his hands and it will help thousands, if not, millions or people who could suffer in a case of problems sustained in the future. I know I’m ready.

    • That is soo important to know these tips and tricks if you find yourself in critical situation.

  16. That is main philosophy of preppers all around the world.

  17. I believe that skills and experience can be the most important stuff that you can have in case of emergency.

  18. Sadly, it is the harsh truth that we would be probably facing sooner or later.
