I’ve read grit before and really like it. I just ordered a year of Mother Earth news which I also like, but think grit is better. I just happened to get a subscription offer in the mail for Mother Earth News recently and purchased it. I never heard of cappers farmer before but would be interested. Keeping issues of these is smart as many articles are great reference material for when/if the grid goes down.I was just wondering if any others here subscribe to Cappers Farmer or Grit magazines? These are both great magazines for anyone interested in self sufficiency or homesteading. For those who want electronic issues, Grit has 12 years of back issues on a USB gizmo. Cappers Farmer may offer an electronic format too.
We used to subscribe to Mother Earth News too, but like Cappers Farmer and Grit better. Check out a copy of Cappers Farmer. I think you'll like it.I’ve read grit before and really like it.

I’m suprised I’ve never heard of it as I’ve been into the prepping thing most of my life, but am interested!We used to subscribe to Mother Earth News too, but like Cappers Farmer and Grit better. Check out a copy of Cappers Farmer. I think you'll like it.
Check with your local feed store, co-op or Tractor Supply. They may have Cappers Farmer on their magizine rack.I’m suprised I’ve never heard of it as I’ve been into the prepping thing most of my life, but am interested!
My wife learned French, son learned German. Both useless languages here. I like math more as it just makes sense to me much more than language but regret never having learned Spanish as a second language. There are lots of Spanish speaking people in this agricultural area here and you should try to adapt to the environment you are in.A hanbook in spanish. It serves to learn Spanish while you learn preparation and to know words related to the prepper world. Maybe one day a prepper will have to seek refuge in Spanish-speaking countries or deal with people who speak Spanish.

Duolingo is a free app and you can pick from many languages (including Klingon, not that it would likely help any). It is similar to Rosetta Stone without the mandatory expense.My wife learned French, son learned German. Both useless languages here.

That is wonderful! I can only try...Wife taught me Iroquoian and Spanish, Iroquoian being the native tongue of her mother and Spanish being her fathers. She is also fluid in Russian/Ukrainian and French, she is very bilingual.

I’m still working on English! Lol
I think that's called multilingual . It's great to speak a few different languages. I speak Spanish pretty well and a little French and Arabic but I'm always trying to learn more. You never know when it will come in handy.Wife taught me Iroquoian and Spanish, Iroquoian being the native tongue of her mother and Spanish being her fathers.

I have added medical books, both herbal and traditional. Depending on what your skills are, I would suggest getting books in the areas that you don’t have skills in. I have added books on general homesteading that include gardening and livestock, and also getting power from wind and water. I also have a book on aquaponics. And food preparation. Just a few suggestions...So many books that I want to read! Thanks for putting this list together. So far my "prepper library" consists of just two books:
How to Eat in the Woods: A Complete Guide to Foraging, Trapping, Fishing, and Finding Sustenance in the Wild
How to Stay Alive in the Woods: A Complete Guide to Food, Shelter and Self-Preservation Anywhere
So, I'm sorry if anyone has asked this already and I missed it, but, in the interest of furthering my knowledge and learning new skills that I'll need, what topic do you all think is the most important for me to start with in buying books to add to my library?
