Download or read book Homesteading in the 21st Century written by George Nash and published by Taunton Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Not since Thoreau made his home in the woods at Walden Pond has the notion of self-sufficiency held more universal appeal. There's no question we're going through some tough economic times, but this book offers an alternative. It's a guide for anyone who imagines a better life--from struggling families tired of energy dependency to dreamers who always wished they could live off the land someday. This ultimate DIY guide holds to the premise that anyone can homestead, and raise at least a portion of their food themselves--even if they live in the city. Homesteading in the 21st Century is absolutely brimming with ideas on how to take control of your life by degrees--whether that means keeping chickens, growing a garden, or brewing your own beer.
Book Synopsis Up Tunket Road by : Philip Ackerman-Leist
Download or read book Up Tunket Road written by Philip Ackerman-Leist and published by Chelsea Green Publishing. This book was released on 2010-05-14 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever since Thoreau's Walden, the image of the American homesteader has been of someone getting away from civilization, of forging an independent life in the country. Yet if this were ever true, what is the nature and reality of homesteading in the media-saturated, hyper-connected 21st century? For seven years Philip Ackerman-Leist and his wife, Erin, lived without electricity or running water in an old cabin in the beautiful but remote hills of western New England. Slowly forging their own farm and homestead, they took inspiration from their experiences among the mountain farmers of the Tirolean Alps and were guided by their Vermont neighbors, who taught them about what it truly means to live sustainably in the postmodern homestead--not only to survive, but to thrive in a fragmented landscape and a fractured economy. Up Tunket Road is the inspiring true story of a young couple who embraced the joys of simple living while also acknowledging its frustrations and complexities. Ackerman-Leist writes with humor about the inevitable foibles of setting up life off the grid--from hauling frozen laundry uphill to getting locked in the henhouse by their ox. But he also weaves an instructive narrative that contemplates the future of simple living. His is not a how-to guide, but something much richer and more important--a tale of discovery that will resonate with readers who yearn for a better, more meaningful life, whether they live in the city, country, or somewhere in between.

Book Synopsis 21st Century Self-Reliance: Homesteader Or Prepper? by : Greg Pavlosky
Download or read book 21st Century Self-Reliance: Homesteader Or Prepper? written by Greg Pavlosky and published by . This book was released on 2014-04-07 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main focus of the book is to discuss the differences and similarities between Homesteaders and Preppers. As my other books have dealt with Homesteading I wanted to connect the dots for those that feel they walk in one world or the other. The lines can get blurred on this matter. I want you to know that you can walk in both worlds. I believe that the early Homesteaders were the actual Preppers of their time. They understood the importance of Self-Reliance and were prepared to deal with almost anything that they encountered. This could include a variety of hardships, greedy land barons, Indians, weather disasters, and many lived far from town where you couldn't jump in the car and pick up what you needed. You performed as many of the tasks that today are taken for granted while relying on others as well as throwing cash at problems. you repaired, made, built, grew, raised or did anything else you could to not rely on others. This also included taking care of a variety of illnesses and injuries. There were no fast food joints and convenience stores on the corners. You did for yourself and family or you had to find away to pay someone to do it. Barter was used daily as much as money was. You developed networks of people that could help you or trade with you for the things you wanted or needed. Being prepared today makes sense in the uncertain times that we live in. If you were prepared before the financial collapse of 2008 in the United States, then you were better prepared than most. The sudden loss of a job allowed you have a safety net by being prepared. If you faced foreclosure and had a Bug Out Location you could have moved there and worked from there as your base. These are some of the things that I discuss in the book. If the winter of 2013/2014 had an effect on you and your family at some time (since it had an effect on most of the country) being prepared when the power was off, or the roads were impassable helped you to carry on. You had food and water, you may have had a generator, you may have had sleeping bags and a camping stove. If you didn't, then why not? Everyone. regardless of where you live should have at least the basics of survival for themselves and their families. You were prepared to evacuate from a forest fire, you were prepared for the earthquake that disabled, electric, power, water and natural gas. You were prepared for the tornado, the hurricane, loss of job, loss of drinking water (as in West Virginia) and a variety of other things that can happen. Using the information I have compiled here as a starting point, you can get yourself better prepared. I can't provide you with all of the answers. I am not going to preach to you. I am going to give you some information that will hopefully provoke some thoughts about preparedness. If you are already living the life of a Homesteader, you may not have thought of some of the items contained here in the book. I don't claim to have all of the answers. Know that I also don't try to force feed you the information. I try to stir thoughts and hope that they will provoke you to take action and acquire the information you will need. I also provide you with a list of Facebook pages and websites where you can obtain more info. So take a look at the information and see what thousands of others are doing. Don't be misled by people on TV shows that talk about prepping. Many of those people seem to believe that you throw money at the problem and make it go away. This causes people who don't have access to that amount of money to think "what's the use, we can't afford it". I hope you enjoy the book. I give you our website, Facebook page and Email info so you can contact me. I also use almost all of the social media sites as well.
