eBooks For Homesteaders & Preparers





My new Saturday topic is now a list of books I have discovered for your kindle. If you aren't a Kindle owner, you may want to download the Free Kindle Reading Apps from Amazon, that makes it possible for you to read Kindle books on your computer. My list today is eBooks for the homesteader, prepper or just someone who likes to be independent and ready if an emergency situation arises. You know how much I like that topic!





Prep School: Cooking Without Electricity - This eBook is written by Ash Bauer and is a short topic book put together by the Prep School. They have other topics as well, or will soon. This book focuses on how to cook if there is a power outage, and how to do it safely.







Poverty Prepping: How to Stock up For Tomorrow When You Can't Afford To Eat Today - What a great idea for a book! So many people contact me with this very question. This eBook is written by fellow homesteader, Sue Gregersen, who not only writes books on prepping and homesteading, but actually lives it!





Emergency Food Storage - A Primer On Long Term Food Storage And Emergency Preparedness - This eBook is written by Byrant Jones.

I had this book in paper form and I loved it. Learn how good coconut is for your health! Learn how it can prevent diseases and cure many other health issues.



 Crochet Rag Rugs Household Pattern Collection (How to Make a Rag Rug) - This eBook is written by Sarah Holmes and is very valuable information for a preparer or homesteader. Knowing how to make rag rugs in times when you need them or can barter them with others is an excellent idea! This eBook is a bit pricey at $14.97, but it is a pattern book and that alone, makes it worth every penny.

What a great list! I don't have a Kindle (I'm reluctant as I am still attached to books in the paper form)...however, I will absolutely check these out! If anything, I can always print them after purchasing :)
