List Of Favorite Reference Books For Preparedness & Homesteading

Survival, Preparedness, Homesteading skills. There are MANY potential topics therein! The question is, “What are your recommendations for reference books in this regard?”

I have purchased a number of survival / homesteading / preparedness-related reference books over the years. I’m not talking about novels (which I also have my fair share). Rather, books for referencing “how-to”, etc..

Here’s one of the first books I purchased many years ago. It remains quite popular today. Here’s the latest edition:

The Encyclopedia Of Country Living
(view on amzn)

Another popular reference book for (medical) preparedness is the classic by Joseph and Amy Alton:

The Survival Medicine Handbook: A Guide For When Help Is Not On The Way
(view on amzn)

Or what about this one which we purchased a number of years ago (one of our home canning reference books). Here’s the latest edition:

Ball Complete Book of Home Preserving
(view on amzn)

There are LOTS of books for preparedness & homesteading reference. And lots of areas of interest.

I am interested to gather your recommendations. That will enable me to update this post with a preferred list based on your input (not just my own).

It will help those who who happen upon this post at a later time through a web search or just searching this site…

>> It will be easier to capture your recommendations if you list each title on a separate line.

Okay, ready, set, go!
