Calm, not panic. A list, not a lecture. That's how the Army plans, and it's how you will too.

The Collection

Four books. One plan. For the winter Britain actually gets.

No doom, no scaremongering. Just the things that really happen here: storms that bring the lines down, cold snaps, frozen pipes, floods, and callers at the door with bad intentions. Each book is short and practical, with checklists you fill in.

Book 1: Power Cut Ready

Power Cut Ready

The first ten minutes, who to ring (105), the Priority Services Register, the 72-hour kit, water, the first night, days 4 to 7, and the toilet plan.

Book 2: Warm Without the Bill

Warm Without the Bill

Heat yourself, not the house. One warm room, a warm bed, what each heater really costs per hour, draughts, and help with bills.

Book 3: The British Winter Pantry

The British Winter Pantry

20 tins worth having, where to buy them cheaply, first-in first-out, and 12 hot meals with nothing but a flask.

Book 4: Safe at Home

Safe at Home

How burglars choose, 15 night habits, hiding cash, doorstep callers, phone scams, and what UK law says about defending yourself.

About the Author

Graham Werner.

Graham served twenty-two years in the British Army with the Royal Engineers, the corps that gets power, water and heat back on when everything else has stopped. His last years in uniform were spent on flood relief, pumping out streets and rigging power for people who had been cold and in the dark for days.

When he came home to Sheffield, a storm took the power out on his street that first winter. On the second morning he knocked next door and found his neighbour Joan, eighty-one and widowed, sat in her coat in the cold, too proud to have asked anyone for help.

This collection is the plan he wishes Joan had had: calm, practical and built on the advice of the people who handle emergencies in this country.

It is not a doom book. It is a plan for the winter Britain actually gets, so you're calm when it comes.

Questions

Asked and answered.

Is anything posted to me?

No. It's a digital collection (one PDF with all four books) that you download straight after paying. Nothing is posted. You can print any page at home.

Is this a doom-and-gloom prepper book?

No. It's calm and practical, written for what really happens in Britain: storms, cold snaps, floods, frozen pipes, and staying safe at home.

Is it written for the UK?

Yes. UK phone numbers (105, 0800 111 999, 159), the Priority Services Register, NHS advice, UK shops, and UK law on self-defence. No American advice that doesn't apply here.

I'm on a pension and money is tight. Will this help?

Yes. Much of it is free: the register, the habits and the plans. Book 2 shows exactly what each way of keeping warm costs per hour, and how to check what help you're entitled to.

What if it's not for me?

Reply to your receipt email within 7 days and you'll get a full refund.
