Does anyone have any of these? They all look good but wondering how comprehensive they are :)
Thanks
The only thing more valuable than the things you carry, is knowing how to make and maintain them.

The Encyclopedia of Country Living is considered a classic and many preppers recommend it, I have a electronic version of it.

I have "Where there is no Doctor", it's not a bad manual for resource-constrained situations when you are far from a doctor.

Back to Basics is a cracking book. Its about half the size of a coffee table book, and full of useful information. Its an interesting read with plenty of pics and photos and diagrams so it makes it a decent introduction to homesteading/off grid living, especially for the newbie or non-converted.

Far less flashy is The Encyclopedia of Country Living... however, it should be a requirement for the prepper to have as its overwhelmingly comprehensive. I'm looking at my copy now and its bigger than a telephone directory - so having a backup digital version on a thumb drive is probably a good idea!
