Preparedness For What?
There’s a lot of hoopla about preparedness these days. Some folks are preparing for the end of the world as we know it (TEOTWAWKI), while others don’t see the point. I suppose it depends on how much confidence one has in the government, economic system, and those who run them (or fight over who runs them).
It’s no secret that Dan and I are on the no-confidence side of the fence, but I honestly have no idea if or when the system will collapse. That lack of confidence is one of the reasons we choose to homestead (the other reason is that we love it.) But also, we have experienced months of joblessness and no income, plus natural disaster which has left us for days without electricity and water. It was only because we took steps to be prepared for situations like these that we were able to stay warm, clean, and happily fed. Consequently, our experiences have caused us not to just focus on preparedness, but on self-reliance.
That’s why I was glad to see this book included in the PrepperBundle, Keys to Successful Homesteading by Scott M Terry. Some of you may be familiar with Scott from his Christian Farm and Homestead Radio podcasts. I’ve been on his show a couple of times and can tell you from experience that Scott is extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of farming, homesteading, and agrarianism.
His book is probably one of the most practical books on homesteading out there. He doesn’t give you details on things like how to plan a garden, how to build a chicken coop, and what kind of critters to get; rather he tells you what other homesteading books omit, i.e., the bottom line make-it-or-break-it stuff that is only learned from years of observation and experience. What he teaches you is how to have the proper mindset, realistic expectations, and make good choices. These things don’t come naturally in the modern world, which is why this book is highly recommended.
But what if you aren’t able to buy some acreage and homestead? What if you can’t rely on self-reliance? Then this is the book for you - Family Preparation in the City and Suburbia by Susan K. Stewart. It covers everything a suburban home or apartment dweller should be concerned about: water, heat, food, lighting, medical, money, entertainment, education, employment, protection, and community. Includes printable forms to help you with situation assessment, electricity assessment, and a document tracking system.

Boy scouts for adults. This was taught by most parents in the 60′s and 70′s who expected their children to leave the nest by the age of 18. Not so surprising enough … 98 percent of those children were capable of making that transition remarkably well. Maybe we should make this required reading and part of the GED test and all students hoping to make something of themselves at some future point in their lives.
