I’m looking for a wide variety of topics. Feel free to call me crazy :)! But I would love any/all info regarding the following:
- Self-sufficient farming and gardening techniques
- Solar power installation and maintenance
- Water collection and filtration methods
- Off-grid food preservation options (canning, fermenting, dehydration)
- Constructing and maintaining off-grid shelters (tiny homes, yurts, earthships)
- Sustainable waste management practices
- Home remedies and natural medicine for common ailments
- Wild foraging and hunting skills
- Basic wilderness survival skills (fire building, shelter construction, navigation)
- Off-grid communication methods (shortwave radios, Morse code)
- DIY appliances and tools for off-grid living
- Sustainable living practices (permaculture, composting, recycling)
- Essential off-grid kitchen equipment and cooking techniques
- Emergency preparedness and disaster management
- Financial planning and budgeting for off-grid living.
Please feel free to include any topics along those lines. I’m sure if you’ve read to this point you get where I’m going.
I own this one, as well as Dartnell’s The Knowledge: How to Rebuild Our World from Scratch because I am a massive tech history nerd. (I’d love the idea of being able to survive a collapse but I’m too self-aware of my insufficient physical fitness for that, lol.)
Also for those who’ve not heard of the BBC series Connections, it’s AWESOME. More useful for entertainment than as a reference, but the first episode literally explores the question “what would a single human have to do to survive if modern life suddenly became unavailable?” Here are all the episodes on Archive.org.
