Book excerpt: "Anyone in the mood to be enchanted by a collection of prose poems that celebrate the quotidian, the commonplace, the ordinary things of this world-those "dumb beautiful messengers," as Walt Whitman famously referred to them in "Crossing Brooklyn Ferry"? Then you best pick up a copy of Gerry LaFemina's book Baby Steps in Doomsday Prepping.... [LaFemina offers a] kind of precision with language-making a "place" into a "thing" and conveying its feel, look, and impression on the soul with such searing clarity.... [his poems] enchant the senses and succeed in stopping time . . . so that we might examine the things of this world with love and intelligence, so that we might hear them speak to us again"--

Download or read book Doomsday Prepping and Survival written by Jaime Mera and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014-12-09 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Doomsday survival prepping is a lifestyle and hobby for many people hoping to survive a catastrophic event or events, also known as the apocalypse, which have yet to seriously reveal its ugly head. This book guides any person to have an aggressive mindset with a clear focus to beat the odds by increasing survivability through effective planning and execution of preparation and construction efforts. This book tells you what you should be doing, and not waste your time and money on efforts which will in the end fail or provide a very small victory. Super volcanoes, global destroying meteors, the economic breakdown of a country, and biblical proportions of the last days as depicted in Revelations (like plagues, years of famine, massive deaths of people and animals) are addressed and examined; but more importantly is how to effectively gather resources, focus your preparation efforts, execute a well rounded plan, and prevent people from taking away your life and dreams of a better future. You will learn the best ways to develop a dynamic group of survivalists and family of people, all set on the goal to survive and repopulate the planet if need be. Examples of good, very good, and bad and extremely bad prepping practices are shown along with solutions to problems most preppers run into or should encounter if the preparation efforts are being properly built on top of each other. This book looks at other resources like other books, movies, shows, and organizations to improve your knowledge base and connect you to the people you should interact with the most. You will know how to identify the best location for your safe haven (bunker) and how to best protect it. You will know what it takes to be an effective leader, how to follow, and how to train other leaders.

Download or read book The Prepper with the Most Toys Wins Prepping It s Not Just for Doomsday written by George Edwin Boase and published by Abuzz Press. This book was released on 2014-08-15 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Departing from the usual gloom of the doom boom, "The Prepper With the Most Toys Wins" presents the positive nature of prepping, making life better today and secure tomorrow. With a lifestyle change, and use of renewable, sustainable and repeatable technology, survival doesn't necessarily mean sacrifice. Prepping means we take back our freedom and throw the monkey off our backs to become independent as our ancestors once were, but with advanced security and comforts. The ever-increasing angst of life today has shaped a growing portion of society we call preppers. With good intention, preppers too often prepare for the Hollywood "Mad Max" version of disaster. The actuality should be more like Gilligan's Island. As probable as finding ourselves missing phones, lights and motorcars, it's almost as certain bloodthirsty mutant gangs won't chase us across a wasteland. Too many are preparing shelters they hope they never have to live in, storing food they hope they never have to eat and stockpiling weapons and equipment they pray they never have to use. This is not how preparing for doom should be. Preparation for tomorrow should result in a better life today. A prepper is not someone suffering from paranoia. A prepper is one who clearly sees the difficulties people face on a daily basis. Rather than sit around and complain, they take affirmative action. They prepare! Preparing for survival is breaking away from the herd mentality. Prepping is a lifestyle change that results in a freedom few people enjoy today. We spend most of our day providing the basic needs for life. We obsess over health and security. We worry about the electric grid, the food supply and, most often, financial security. We worry about things we really have no control over. We are many slaves to the few masters. The prepper with the most toys wins! The grand prize is freedom. Preppers regain control to be their own master as our ancestors were long ago.

Download or read book The Resilient Farm and Homestead written by Ben Falk and published by Chelsea Green Publishing Company. This book was released on 2013 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Resilient Farm and Homestead is a manual for developing durable, beautiful, and highly functional human habitat systems fit to handle an age of rapid transition. Ben Falk is a land designer and site developer whose permaculture-research farm has drawn national attention. The site is a terraced paradise on a hillside in Vermont that would otherwise be overlooked by conventional farmers as unworthy farmland. Falk's wide array of fruit trees, rice paddies (relatively unheard of in the Northeast), ducks, nuts, and earth-inspired buildings is a hopeful image for the future of regenerative agriculture and modern homesteading. The book covers nearly every strategy Falk and his team have been testing at the Whole Systems Research Farm over the past decade, as well as experiments from other sites Falk has designed through his off-farm consulting business. The book includes detailed information on earthworks; gravity-fed water systems; species composition; the site-design process; site management; fuelwood hedge production and processing; human health and nutrient-dense production strategies; rapid topsoil formation and remineralization; agroforestry/silvopasture/grazing; ecosystem services, especially regarding flood mitigation; fertility management; human labor and social-systems aspects; tools/equipment/appropriate technology; and much more, complete with gorgeous photography and detailed design drawings. The Resilient Farm and Homestead is more than just a book of tricks and techniques for regenerative site development, but offers actual working results in living within complex farm-ecosystems based on research from the "great thinkers" in permaculture, and presents a viable home-scale model for an intentional food-producing ecosystem in cold climates, and beyond. Inspiring to would-be homesteaders everywhere, but especially for those who find themselves with "unlikely" farming land, Falk is an inspiration in what can be done by imitating natural systems, and making the most of what we have by re-imagining what's possible. A gorgeous case study for the homestead of the future.
