Survivability For The Common Man
(see description; this looks excellent)


Weekend Homesteader: August

This month's edition of Weekend Homesteader focuses on what August is best known for --- the sun. You'll take advantage of solar energy directly by drying tomatoes or peaches in your car and clothes on the line, then will collect the sun's energy indirectly when you start a fall garden and find local produce in abundance. 

            For those of you who are new to the Weekend Homesteader, this monthly ebook series walks you through fun and easy projects that introduce growing your own food, cooking the bounty, preparing for emergency power outages, and achieving financial independence.

This morning I got an email from Amazon, who has obviously noticed the subject matter I look at!  It suggested a bunch of books along those lines.  These are not free, but discounted from their regular prices (except for the last one, which isn't on sale).  


I recommend buying all of M.D.'s books first, however!  ;)
