I do not usually suggest anyone buy very expensive items—especially books. In a way it almost defeats the purpose of living a life less extravagant. However, in this case, I feel compelled to review a book for you that is worth the hefty price tag. Deliberate Life, by Nicole Faires, is as hefty in content

As homesteaders who are looking to get back to basics, there is a tremendous desire, for the most part, to make things out of what you have around the home. This bleeds over into almost every aspect of homesteading life, including in the livestock areas. Using old pots or pans for feed dishes and water

Goats are an extremely versatile animal on a small homestead. They are easy to keep in small spaces (where a cow would be impossible), cheaper to feed, and produce large volumes of milk that can be used for drinking, cooking, and making delicious cheeses. Goats are also an excellent meat source and for their size,

Reviewed by Sondra Wollbrinck www.mom7x.blogspot.com I’ve been reading some older books, published before 1940, among them William Duryee’s A Living From the Land, published in 1934. It seems as if he was seeing through a looking glass and watching events in 2011. It amazes me that we are reliving the same financial downturn and emotional

Reviewed by: Sondra Wollbrinck, www.mom7x.blogspot.com In my humble opinion, Passport to Survival by Esther Dickey is one of the cornerstone books for your “survival” library. We purchased it in 1999 (and unless you were living under a rock, you know why we did that). I know it will be the book we keep on hand

For many years, Americans have enjoyed basic freedoms like freedom of speech... freedom to choose how they spend their money... and freedom to travel without restriction. But with each passing year, we see the rapid erosion of these freedoms. As power-hungry politicians become more brazen in their pursuit of total control, our freedoms are becoming more tightly restricted -- or, in some cases, legislated away entirely. For proof, look at what’s happened during the last few years...
The Amazing "Aztec Super-Food" Used By Top Survivalists For Mission-Critical Strength And Endurance!In the remote Copper Canyons of the Mexican state of Chihuahua, the isolated tribe of Tarahumara Indians is known for a remarkable feat. They run! They run hundreds of miles … without injury and without rest. Their legendary endurance puts gold medal Olympic marathon runners to shame. The Tarahumara not only run long distances, they also routinely scale mountains in mere hours, just for the fun of it. They sprint on foot to catch animals for their dinner… and consider it a playful diversion. The Tarahumara are believed to be among the healthiest human beings on earth!
"God's Miracle Dust" Because It's The Single Greatest Off-The-Grid Story Ever Told!We live in a time when it's impossible to escape dangerous chemicals. They're in our homes, our food, our soil, our water, and our air. They're so much a part of our lives that we think nothing of it. It's high time we think about it a little more. There are over 70,000 chemicals in use today and their cumulative effects on human health have never really been studied. In fact, very few of them have even been studied individually for safety. Should we be worried?
The Single Best "Just In Case" Place In The WorldFor many years now, there has been much talk that the ancient Mayans predicted the end of the world with their Long Count calendar. It has even been refined down to a specific date when humanity is supposed to cease to exist… December 21, 2012 This doomsday message has become quite popular. So much so, the subject has spawned hundreds of thousands of websites and blogs, several mainstream books… and at least a couple of movies… including… a major motion picture by Mel Gibson titled, Apocalypto. The supposed cause (or causes) of this wanton, wholesale destruction ranges from a Planet “X” near flyby… to a “killer” solar flare… to geomagnetic reversal… to… a half-dozen (or more) other things. Any one of which, alone, would have catastrophic effects.
