Books. Books.... BOOKS....

Ok so the thing that got me really started wanting to do these things was.... Yeah you guessed it.  Books.

The foxfire books that I currently have, and several gardening books.  As well as several youtube channels.  You will likely see me use quite a few ideas that have been shared by the posters.  I plan on releasing a list of books that I have at a date very soon.  Most of my books are books I personally enjoy.  The ones I read in whatever down time I have (which is not much) are general fantasy or sci-fi.   Currently working on the Inheritance Cycle again.  The Inheritance Cycle for those who have not heard of it include: Eragon, Eldest, Brisingr, and Inheritance.  My favorite chapter is in Brisingr when Eragon's sword Brisingr was created. But outside of that I am constantly trying to read books on projects I am working on, or watching youtube videos or hanging out with my family.

When I have a spare moment I will post my list of books that I am currently using as reference guides.  And the ones I plan to pick up soon.  If you have any suggestions feel free to drop an email at preppingismine@gmail.com

Thanks guys.

TBC as more projects come up.  I will be adding projects on at least a monthly basis but I am going to try to do weekly updates on each project as it comes along.

My views and thoughts.

So to me independence is mine though only hard work.  By this I mean working hard and creating a garden, using my own compost, and getting as much as I can through trade.

So I am going to start by chronicling the compost pit, (pics to come), the garden, some of the projects to make things a bit easier.  I will also be exploring some bushcraft.  I will also be working on a few ideas.   This is all around an already full schedule.  Schooling (for a better job), a full time job, and dealing with the animals and kids and a few other side projects.  The job is what pays the bills for me to have internet right now.  And lights and a house.  My goal is to get away from the grid as much as possible.  I may have 5 or 10 post back logged to post on a schedule cause I will likely pick one day a week to build them all and then have them post at certain times.  I believe that working hard is a good thing.  I also do not like sitting around for very long.  I am a young father.  (not super young but only about 30)  I am planning on letting everyone in on what it is that I do with out revealing my physical locations for said actions.  Here is to a hopeful good time and at least some fun for me.
