Family Preparedness Guide

Show Notes

About the Author: James Talmage Stevens… I grew up in the post-WWII ex-urban lifestyle that included living by self-reliance principles––grow what you eat, eat what you grow––there were five hungry siblings at the table, so nothing was ever left over! Our family lived the preparedness lifestyle long before it was considered a positive attribute! On the farm of my maternal grandfather, we lived pretty much off the land. We raised chickens, pigs, cows, horses, and lived off the land. We played on haystacks and inside the barns. We also raised annual crops of corn, sugar cane, peas, beans, carrots, squash, onions, cucumbers, and hot peppers––don’t forget the okra and eggplant! Everything went into a bottle––I actually thought food grew in bottles in the dark of the basement! It was in the late summer after my 8th birthday that I found out how all those fruits and veggies got into those bottles in the basement storeroom. That summer, my parents determined I was old enough to learn how to tend the garden, pick the vegetables, and participate in the canning and bottling––and hauling them to the basement! After several years, our family moved to a larger house on less land farther out of the city. A yard garden, in-home food production, and food preservation were continued to be part of life until college days. Birth of Basics… In January 1974, I developed Making the Best of Basics—Family Preparedness Handbook. The 1st edition of Making the Best of Basics was a self-published family enterprise, approximately 150 pages, hand-typed on a portable typewriter, printed on one side from paper masters, hand-collated, and assembled around an eight-sided table in our dining room. The pages were held together by a brass pin in one corner! The first 1,100 printed copies of Basics sold for $2, and entirely sold out in just a few hours on a Saturday afternoon! With such early success and additional requests for copies, we boldly decided to print more! The 2nd printing of 5,000 copies––printed on both sides of the paper and glued––sold out in 8 days! For the next few months, several printings and revisions magically sold and the printer was kept working overtime. After graduate school, I turned corporate, gaining ground on being an 8-5 executive, and tired of publishing the book, so I turned it over to my business partner to develop. It wasn’t too long before he lost interest, the demand lessened, and I got out of the book business. We moved around the country with our 6 children, eventually living in San Antonio TX. In 1994, some people contacted me to acquire the rights to the book, and having recently had some marital, job-related, and financial difficulties all at once, decided to check out the book’s potential to determine its market value before committing to a selling price. It was the beginning of the Y2K problem, and after a few trips to survivalist and gun shows in the Texas area, I printed some of the chapters and began selling them for $2-$3 each. Then, I began collecting vendor data at the shows, compiled it into a small booklet, and the rest is the return of Basics! I became seriously engaged in getting back on the street with a revised 10th edition. When the then-new, greatly revised, and updated 10th edition of Making the Best of Basics was introduced, I returned to the in-home production and food storage industry––now the Preparedness Industry–– full-time from 1995 to 2000. My wife and I were frequent participants in preparedness trade shows and industry events around the country. We presented seminars and workshops on preparedness issues. I was a keynote speaker and a guest on more than a hundred TV programs and thousands of radio talk shows throughout the US. A nationwide Christian TV channel ran my preparedness video twice nightly for most of 1999! The 10th Edition was written for the previous generation. Now it appears the need for self-reliance may be even more important tomorrow than today––as we face the newest

    Family Preparedness Guide

    Welcome back a very popular guest for this 17th edition of the FamilyPreparednessGuide Talk Show is Jim Phillips, who has been referred to as "A Friend and Advocate of Winter", "The Man Who Loves the Cold", and the "World-class Sub-zero Survival Guru". Jim's specialties actually include all aspects of Personal and Family Preparedness as well. Jim and FamilyWorx (the organization that he heads) advocate "creating a culture of preparedness in a changing world" with the focus to teach families a principle-based approach to true preparedness that enables them to meet “all eventualities” without fear. Don't let this introduction cause you concern—I’m ready for winter yet! During Jim’s last show, listeners discovered how talent Jim Phillips has to help you get your family prepared for the uncertain future. He started his first part-time business in 1970, from which spawned a number of ventures and several U.S. and foreign patents. Jim is sought after as an advisor and mentor for cold weather clothing and survival training/ preparedness by numerous national and international concerns. Jim has authored and teaches multiple unique and detailed classes in the areas of (1) personal and family preparedness and self-reliance, (2) winter safety and survival, and (3) personal development. His classes are different from the standard "cookbook" approach and how-to-do lists; Jim's courses are principle-based--teaching how and why things work so the individual will understand what to do in the dynamic situations of life. According to Jim Phillips, "There is no doubt that tomorrow will come, and there is no dispute that things happen; but how you are prepared to meet tomorrow will make all the difference in the world. If you are prepared for the worst, then no matter what happens it will be an adventure!" We're looking forward to your calls and Chat Room visits again—it was really busy on all fronts last time he appeared.
