Free Survival Ebooks

A survival eBook. That's funny!!!! That's like a plug-in EMP protector.

Here is another great site where the author has archived a bunch of survival guides in pdf.

Good Link! I've been as self- sufficent as possible since the '70's when info was harder to come by. It's SO much easier now! (as long as the electricity stays on). Thanks!

Thanks Gingie

An excellent set of books to own is the FireFox series (12 volumes). For those that are not familiar with them, it is a collection of "how to" everything from butchering a hog, making lye soap, building a log cabin with only hand tools to how to make a moonshine still. The information was collected from interviews with the people that lived in the back woods of the Appalachian mountians. I have had mine for years and never grow tired of reading them.

finding information is easier but knowing if its reliable is becoming harder. any wisdom you could share?

Sure, I'll try to answer specific questions you may have. Wether it's wisdom or not is a matter of opinion.
First use common sense. Most folks have it.
I kinda toned things down a bit the past few years, I AM getting older. DON'T assume it's gonna be nirvana. ALWAYS have a back up plan. For instance, my place has a well on it that never went dry. Three years ago it came a long hot dry spell. I had enough water for drinking and cooking but not enough for my stock (chickens, rabbits, goats). I was rationing water like a MF. Now I have a cistern That I catch rainwater in and if need be, a water tank that fits in the back of my pick-up that I can fill at a water station nearby to fill the cistern.
I plant my garden differently from most folks. Wide plant rows/narrow walkways.
Again, I'd be pleased to pass on things I've learned if you're interested. I try not to intrude much here at GLP. Just ask some specifics. If I don't know the answer I'll try to point ya in the right direction.

those are great suggestions Pea Vine... thanks so much. i love the idea of learning to can, something i've always wanted to try. i'm dabbled in drying but never thought to do it with green beans.

love it thanks!!!
