These are some quotes from Jim Phillips:
"Who you are and what you know is more important than lists of things to buy."
"Make provision for the future or become a victim - the choice is yours, so choose one."
"Attitude will determine whether you live or die."


I just googled him and found the website for his patterns and the place to order the materials that he has to make the clothing. It is preparemyfamily.com. 
Here is his view on preparing.
While others focus on the things you must have, we focus on the education and training you absolutely must have. What you know is more important than what you have. You will indeed need to acquire certain things, but just having those things does not ensure your safety and survival. Knowledge can! 

You need to understand what your true needs and priorities are before you can even begin to acquire the things you need. How else can you know for sure that what you have is what it takes and that you have the right things. 

You also need to know HOW to survive. If your confidence and security lies with what you own, what will happen if you lose it or are unable to get to it in a time of need?

With our approach to preparedness, you will build on a solid foundation of knowledge. You’ll gain confidence, you’ll be better informed on what things you need to acquire, and you’ll gain skills that will allow you to make it no matter what! 

KNOWLEDGE IS NOT OPTIONAL!
