It’s pretty hard to overlook something that the mainstream media brings to light.  Just the other day I read that a growing number of people are homesteading and changing lifestyles in a big way.  It’s a new or rekindled survivalist movement brought on by concerns about higher energy prices, the general economic downturn, and perhaps the way the world seems to be going in general.  People are talking and thinking about things in a way I wouldn’t have expected just a few months ago when I started blogging.

            If you’re one of those making plans to go back to the land and learn homesteading and survival skills, you owe it to yourself to do some reading.  Of course, you’ll find plenty of books and DVDs from a number of the advertisers on this page.  However, you really should get at least one good reference book, such as the Encyclopedia of Country Living, available from CampingSurvival.com.  This 864 page 9^th edition is a thoroughly comprehensive, step by step manual, covering everything from first aid and raising animals to growing, processing, and cooking and preserving virtually any kind of food.

            To order your copy of the Encyclopedia of Country Living, click on the CampingSurvival.com logo and type Country Living in the search box.  Then you can click on the picture of the book to go to the page where you can order.  You’ll get a wealth of knowledge for a good price.  If you’re thinking about homesteading, this is a must for your survival library.  If you’ve been living the country life for a while and don’t yet have your copy, what are you waiting for?
