| Quote |
Though most of these are taken from the "Treasure" book list, I am putting them in this new Recession Proof GLP thread for ease of finding. They are organized into categories. If you like what you see, check back occasionally, because I will add to them, but will put additions at the foot of each category (in a new color) rather than on a new post.
These are what I consider to be, essential or very helpful books and information (all free downloads) for the times we're living in and coming into rapidly.

This is a great resource site for homesteaders, people interested in sustainability and survival techniques. There is so much here that the site deserves its own listing.
Downloading directly from the site is free, but does require sign up and some information (including info on what you plan on doing with the materials provided). It's worth it!
[link to www.itdg.org]
This is yet another almost incredible information resource for all things homestead. It will take time, but is well worth the dig and everything is available for free download.

thanks OP... Few will listen,
Of the few who listen, fewer still will understand,
Understanding does not mean believe,
Of the handful who believe, most may not know what to do,
Those who even know, how many will actually do ?
And the rare ones who have done it.......
Need not listen to you anymore.

Do you have some personal favorites you can recommend? Quoting: CuriouslyIncognito
Well CI, depending on your situation, I would recommend all of these for varying reasons. One option is to look over what you are interested in and either purchase the book or to download and select specific info to copy and print so you have it in case there is no electricity, etc.
(for buying them on the cheap)
[link to www.abebooks.com]
[link to www.alibris.com]
[link to www.bookfinder.com]
[link to www.biblio.com]
And thanks for the thumbs up guys!

I try to do what I can to help folks get edumacated.
It should be noted though... Don't just read these! Get started DOING. Start canning, even if you have to use store bought produce. Start an indoor or patio garden and so on... You never really know what you need or what questions you will have until you DO, so do it now, while you still have access to the information and readily available help and advice.
Just sayin'...
