The Digital Homesteader (Beta)

I decided that I will try to have regularly weekly features that will make this a little more enjoyable than just random posts on stuff that we all need to know. So Thursday is going to be “Tool Day”. I will introduce you to some of the greatest tools out there. Of course you can’t go far without using the best tool that we have – the brain.  Having our wits about us can do so much more than any fancy set of tools that we have, if we use it. Alas, I think that so often we get into a panic mode and act like we really don’t know what is going on.

Of course, to do this, you have to fill that gray matter with substance, and that is what this feature is really all about; knowledge.  The first tool is really one of the most essential books that you can have, and must have. Carla Emery’s “Encyclopedia of Counrty Living“.  Now I can already heard some of you: “Hey, I don’t live in the country!” Well the truth is that much of this book is indeed how to live in the country, but so much of it is just how to live off the land, wherever that land may be. Probably the best money you can spend!
