About DIY Homemade Medical Face Mask: How to Make Your Own Medical Face Mask for Protection Against Bacteria, Viruses, and Disease by Kenneth Olsen
Protecting Our Communities
When things are going well in our society, it’s easy to get complacent and take things for granted. However, when something bad happens, the cracks start showing right away. Nothing quite disrupts the status quo like the spread of disease. Disease doesn’t care about who we are or the plans we’ve made. We can’t argue with outbreaks. We can, however, take back control by protecting ourselves.
This book discusses one way people can help in keeping a community safe: homemade medical face masks. When are they useful? What do they do exactly? How do you make one? This book answers these questions and more, giving the reader essential information on how to stay safe during a normal cold-and-flu season, an epidemic, or even a pandemic. You’ll learn about:
*The history and purpose of face masks and respirators
*When you should wear a mask
*How to make your own face mask with everyday supplies
*How to take care of your mask and when to throw it away
*What else you need to do to stay safe during an outbreak
We live in scary times. Even though we’ve clearly progressed since the days of the Black Plague and smallpox, there’s a lot about disease we don’t know. For millions of people, potentially fatal diseases are not an unusual occurrence. They might even be part of normal life. Even for people who don’t think about a serious disease that often, every couple of years or so, a major disease threatens the structure of our world. Knowing how to make a mask and how to use it properly gives you more security and safety. Who wouldn’t want that?

Author Bio:
I’ve always wanted to do things my own way. When I was 7 years old, I decided I’d waited long enough to learn how to ride a bike, so I taught myself. My dad tried to help, but I insisted on doing it myself. Practice mostly consisted of falling over (thankfully, dad did manage to get me in safety gear), but eventually, I was riding up and down the block. I remember that sense of pride. I’ve been chasing that feeling ever since.
I was lucky to have parents that encouraged this trait in me. We were an outdoorsy family, so most weekends in the summer were spent camping. I learned how to build a fire, identify edible plants, and use a compass. For a while, I didn’t really think about the idea of prepping at home. That changed when my dad suddenly lost his job when I was in high school. I immediately began worrying that we would run out of money and we wouldn’t be able to buy enough food. When I expressed my fears to my mom, she showed me her emergency pantry. It was full of canned and dry goods. “We’ll always have enough to eat, Ken,” she comforted me. “We’re ready for anything.” The wave of relief that washed over me was powerful. I decided then and there that I would always make sure I thought ahead and anticipated emergencies.
I’ve kept up my self-sufficient habits. In college, I challenged myself and camped alone for a week. I still go camping regularly with my family, but I’m more focused on preparing our home for whatever the future might hold. That means building lots of shelf space for food, mastering my sewing skills, and working toward one day getting off the grid. I’m very lucky to have the support of my wife, who is just as passionate about prepping as I am. We’re proud to raise children who will be able to take care of themselves.
