Instructional Resources - encyclopedias, tomes and guides of essential knowledge
Our Thoughts:
We purchased this book decades ago, and it has provided us with many years of enjoyment. Even all these years later we can still thumb through it and find new details that catch our eyes, or re-learn the details we’ve forgotten.
The breadth of the material covers so many ‘Homesteading’ type topics that its impossible to summarize them all here, so we won’t try, but suffice it to say that the breadth is extensive. Some might nitpick that it lacks depth on certain topics, which is a valid observation, but that’s not the intent of this encyclopedia. We feel that this resource goes into sufficient detail for each topic to serve as a good foundation to either begin experimenting on your own, or enough information to learn which topics you need to dive into more thoroughly before you begin experimenting.
Highly recommended for a new’ish prepper or homesteader, or those considering taking the plunge. Still valuable to veterans of prepping and homesteading since nobody can be an expert at everything.
Fiction - stories we hope never come true
Our Thoughts:
Forstchen sets off to prove a point in this book, and he does so with riveting intensity and page-turning brutality.
The point he is making is the potential violent consequences of our continued and ludicrous lack of protection for our most innocent treasures, our children.
Our Thoughts coming soon; currently reading…. and so far, so good.
