For starters, downloading how-to, prep-oriented videos onto your computer would be a good start so that you'd have them available if the Internet and/or electrical grid ever went down. Great advice:

My opinion so far has been that sleep has been a much greater necessity, Redneck. I haven't had time to delve much into the book with having been out of town and then getting sick, but I hope to dig into the book soon. Maybe you could order one as well and we could give a tag-team critique, sorta like Siskel and Ebert.

Nickelless I have DTP the 2nd Ed...would you be willing to reproduce the Table Of Contents for me...trying to figure out if I should upgrade.

One of the coolest things in DTP 2nd ed is a chart that tells you how to read all those factory stamps on your food...very handy.

DTP 2nd ed is a very complete guide BTW

I'll make a note to copy the table of contents, or I could just retype it for you. I'll try to post it in the next couple days. It's a pretty thick book...about 700 pages, I think.

Two of my favorite self-reliance books are by John Seymour: The Complete book of Self-Sufficiency and The new Self-Sufficient Gardener.

I would also add Boston's Gun Bible and the World's Treasury of Health Secrets to the mix.

-The Free Survival Library-

Get your printer warmed up and stock up on paper and ink. A three ring binder works great to keep everything organized. Well what are you waiting for?
