I don’t like any of those honorifics. Miss, Ms, whatever. But it’s certainly not “Mister”

Hey anon, not a book but a magazine that’s been around for a while. It has a great archive: https://www.motherearthnews.com/nature-and-environment/homesteading-magazine-zmaz71ndzgoe

That whole website seems like a great resource, thanks anon.

May I suggest a rollicking book from the 30s pre ww2?
You see, living off the land is hard and not really successful, and quite frankly, you probably can't do it.

We have become people who are interdependent on others for everything. Even the farmer can't live off her own land. You can only store so much, and there is always something to go wrong.

But by working together we now farm year round, world round, and have the efficiency of many redundancies and varieties of everything we could want in all aspects of our lives, not just survival stuff... We have beat the obstacles by working together.

So celebrate that. Celebrate your interdependence that gives you leisure time that allows you to work less, get more, and live longer.

Since we can't go outside for now (quite frankly because of the maskless misfits that don't seem to understand the advantage of our collective cooperative lives and seem to want to return to some golden age of nonsense), read about a time when you could, instead of planning for an existence many steps below the one you currently are living.

t. really old guy who actually remembers how bad life used to be before modernization, where covid would have been ignored, not because it wasn't serious but because you would not have noticed it because everybody was dying from TB, typhus, polio, malaria, flu, heart disease, every cancer, and just about any accident that punctured the skin.

I don't hate technology, but there's nothing appealing to me about living a soulless apartment in some city wageslaving away from 50 years. I know I'll have to supplement my income somehow, but I can do that without living like an insect.

butterfly posted good nonfiction stuff already, so if you want some homesteading fiction check out Growth of the Soil
