Preparedness & Homesteading Books
You can find a lot of information about “being prepared” these days. How many people who actually do it is unknown.
One thing for certain is that those who can TRULY live “off-grid” for an extended period of time are far and few between.
But that doesn’t mean you can’t start somewhere. And some books to educate yourself are probably a good idea. Having knowledge stored in your brain may come in handy at some point in the future.
(And don’t forget – if you read books on an “eReader,” you probably want to download them to your devices. Print books that work without electricity are preferred, though.)
