About the Author

Anita Bailey has a diverse and unique background - starting with arts and literature, then to alternative health care such as reflexology and herbal remedies, through commercial livestock raising sheep and goats, then organic homesteading, and now to a cow-calf operation. Along the way, her family lived without electricity for two years. She became a registered nurse, then a Master's level nurse practitioner working in primary care and urgent care for two decades, and earned her Doctorate in the field. Between canning and preserving the various foods grown in a large garden and acquiring her SCUBA card, she trained and utilized dogs of different breeds for search and rescue operations, and completed a second Master's degree in Disaster Preparedness and Emergency Management. She's the author of hundreds of articles on small farming, peer-reviewed scholarly works in Alzheimer's and nursing research, and popular how-to books writing as Anita Evangelista. She is married and living the dream in the rural Ozarks. This is her fourteenth book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Practical Advice, with Unusual Tips
Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2018
Verified Purchase
This well written book is full of practical advice, tips, and ideas for life now and perhaps hatder times to come. A thorough compilation of survival and Do-it-yourself means from making durable clothing to methods of food preservaton and management of supplies, including recipes. From subsistence living to abundance abundance of means this book covers the how to's of managing a farm or home under different conditions or changing circumstances. The author uniqely presents information in a now and later or best and worst case scenario approach to the learning curve of finding new ways from old ways. Recipes and resouces at the end make it a terrific compendium of very useful informatiion. The section on militarizing the homestead however I thought was a bit overly long unless one finds themselves under seige, but the rest was practical with tips drawn from the author's personal experience. Overall an excellent resource book that is greatly readable and should be in your library of extremely
useful knowledge.

5.0 out of 5 stars Recommended starting point. Complete, author tested and fairly up to date
Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2019

Complete, author tested and fairly up to date.
Recommended starting point. If you know how many acres it takes to feed two people with enough food variety to prevent scurvy and promote health then skip it. If you can live off collected & stored water then skip that part. If you know how to grow wheat, thresh it, grind it and make bread and beer without electricity or going to a store then skip that section. If you know how to rotate breads of chickens, pigs and cows to prevent inbreeding in the coming years then skip that section.
I did not have good answers. While my implementation is different, the book helped me pick up where experienced people leave off.

5.0 out of 5 stars Understanding Grand Solar Minimum during 2020-2055
Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2020
Verified Purchase
I detest the title of this book. Mini Ice age is a fraudulent marketing term for such a serious subject. It should have been called Cold Times: How to Attain Food Independence during a 30-Year Grand Solar Minimum (GSM). TheGSMs have taken down all the Chinese Dynasties. China understands more than any country how the current Eddy Grand Minimum will impact global food supplies. Expect 30 consecutive years of massive crop failures. Throughout history, the world's population hovered around a billion people. This is the first time a GSM is occurring with 7-Billion people. Understanding how to attain and own your food independence is critical to mitigate many of the risks we face as a society as we enter this Eddy GSM as NASA claims we entered in April 2020 even though market farmers have seen late and early frost/snow patterns shortening their growing season. If planting gets pushed back in the spring, harvest gets pushed back in the fall, but if early frost and snow occurs, the crop is ruined. We have till 2053 to deal with thin and its only just begun. If you think 2020 is bad, wait till 2030 gets here. You can see the author Dr. Bailey on Youtube channels Ice Age Farmer and Adapt 2030 to get a gist of what this book is about. Highly recommend this must read book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic book
Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2020
Verified Purchase
Fantastic book. Reasonable prepping advice that could apply for everything. Don’t think you could have a collapse? After grocery stores emptied in 2 days (not 3) in March 2020, I will never doubt that again.
You may not be sold on the little ice age but the Grand Solar Minimum is here.
In NE KS, first frost 2019 was 10/13, two weeks early. We had a killing late frost in May 2020, 3 weeks late. In August 2020 we have had 4-5 nights in the fifties and we have two nights in the 40s forecast for the second week in Sept 2020. I expect an early frost again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book. Everyone should read this to understand the dynamics of Earth
Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2020
Verified Purchase
Book was exceptional delivering a message every person on earth should understand. It helps you understand climate change and realize WE have nothing to do with it. It dumps the political global warming bucket on it's side.

First it explains what is going on, What could happen and different intensities.

Second, what you can do about it.

I wish a grand solar minimum was not happening, but after reading this book I feel more informed and prepared.

5.0 out of 5 stars FANTASTIC STARTER FOR PREPARATION HARD TIMES
Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2020
Verified Purchase
Of course, the illustration on page 88 of a sand filter for water purifying symbolizes the entire book. Quickly & efficiently, characterizing the author herself, this book helps brace you for difficult plans & steps to protect yourself from the shock of this modern misfit civilization. We are out of touch with basic survival steps but can start preparing now.
What are your basic needs for protecting yourself against heat loss? Basic structural needs in the face of monumental weather onslaughts, as just part of the wide range of thoughts to confront. How to start with chickens or trapping? The list goes on. This book is small, since it is a work in starting the thinking.
As you form a community, the group will expand to meet your individual demands.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 2, 2018

Even if you're a Solar Grand Minimum sceptic, it can't hurt to read this book and take on board some of the points that are plainly and bluntly put.

There's no sugar coating from Anita, this will hit you hard, as it should. If/when Cold Times arrive, you'll either be prepared or tomorrow's fertilizer.
Remember: Proper preparation prevents piss-poor performance. Keep up to date with @OppenheimerRanchProject on YouTube. Diamond gives you all the latest info in his own unique way.
