Happy New Year folks.
In a lighter thinking on the lines of recovery, rather than from a war footing, I have several that are worth the read on how-to.
Carla Emery's Encyclopeida of Country Living
Any of the older books by John Seymour, which are unfortunately out of print, including these. The Forgotten Arts is especially interesting IMO.
Farming for Self-Sufficiency - Independence on a 5-Acre Farm (1973).
Self-Sufficiency (1970).
The Complete Book of Self-Sufficiency (1976).
The Self-Sufficient Gardener (1978).
The Forgotten Arts (1984).
The Forgotten Household Crafts (1987).
The Traditional Bowyer's Bible All four volumes. How to build bows, arrows, make arrowheads, string, etc etc and history of archery around the world. Very interesting, esp for someone interested in the subject.
