The Ultimate Guide to Climate Change Survival is a hopeful survival guide to the impending climate disaster that, according to scientists and world leaders, is threatening the very fabric of society. With practical how-to knowledge borrowed from homesteaders, farmers, and survivalists, this book offers a realistic window into the necessary lifestyle of the future.
In a world where food is difficult to grow, water is scarce, deadly storms and disasters are a common occurrence, and safety is no longer guaranteed through infrastructure, how can you protect your family and prepare them for a better life? With chapters on agriculture, energy, disease, security, and more, The Ultimate Guide to Climate Change Survival covers every aspect that will be affected by climate change. Discover how to connect a solar hot water heater to a wood stove hot water system, build a climate-controlled greenhouse, protect yourself from flu pandemics, create a food storage based on calorie needs, collect enough rainwater to water your garden in a drought, and hide your resources if law enforcement fails.
All of the information included meets these criteria: It is something that anyone can do, without special training. It can be done with relatively few supplies or with stuff you can make yourself. It has been tried and tested-either by the author, the military, doctors, or other homesteaders.
The Ultimate Guide to Homesteading is not a storybook or a cookbook. It is a practical guide with nitty-gritty details on everything a homesteader can do, step-by-step with hundreds of color illustrations and pen and ink sketches. You can do it! This book can help.
The Ultimate Guide to Natural Farming and Sustainable Living
by Nicole Faires
Permaculture is an important but often misunderstood method of growing food and building homes in a manner that works with nature, rather than against it, to create beautiful, healthy, and useful gardens. Blending ecology, organic agriculture, green home design, appropriate technology, and biology can be confusing and overwhelming, but The Ultimate Guide to Natural Farming and Sustainable Living simplifies this vast field for practical application. This is a hands-on guide, taking the beginner through each step of the design process, so that anyone can apply permaculture principles to his or her life. While the principles are simple, the in-depth topics cover every aspect of permaculture, including:
* building green homes and passive solar design
* growing edible plant communities and forest gardens
* using no-till and natural farming methods
* creating microclimates for extended growing seasons
* raising livestock with ecological foraging techniques
This is a common-sense approach to sustainable living that creates a self-sufficient and low-effort home for the people that live there, whether in the city or the country. The Ultimate Guide to Natural Farming and Sustainable Living isn't a philosophy book or a dissertation on theory. It is a step-by-step, complete guide to every aspect of permaculture.
