Recommended Books
"The worth of a book is to be measured by what you can carry away from it." ~James Bryce
The SurvivalBlog has posted a list of reader recommended survival & preparedness books at ...

The readers' favorite book is The Encyclopedia of Country Living by Carla Emery. It sells for $18-20 on Amazon and is described as, "invaluable practical advice on all aspects of growing and preparing food. ... how to cultivate a garden, buy land, bake bread, raise farm animals, make sausage, milk a goat, grow herbs, churn butter, catch a pig, make soap, work with bees and more."
Many of the books in the list cover gardening and farming. The rest are a mix of general principals, health (dentistry, first aid), guns, religion (bible), food storage, and cooking.
Bottom Line
While I love the internet and all the information that is available, I would not count on it to be working after a major emergency. First - many disasters knock out the electricity. Second, that might be a break in your phone line or cable. Third, if you do have power and a working line, the servers may be overwhelmed or just incredibly slow.
Do yourself a favor and buy a few good books:
- first aid
- old fashioned cooking skills (e.g. Joy of Cooking, 1965 edition)
- general survival guide
- farming/gardening (if you have the land)
