Becoming Self-Reliant: How to be Less Dependent on Society and the Government
By Ken Larson
Rhema Publishing, (October 1997)
ISBN: 0964249715
Book Description
As we look at our world
today, our future
seems uncertain. We
have indeed lost many
of the "basics" and
survival skills known
and practiced by our
forefathers. We have
become dependent on
a very fragile system
which is generally not
operated in our best
interest.
"You have opened up a
new world of
preparedness
information. As we
know, knowledge
removes fear and that
is what Becoming Self
Reliant is all about. An
excellent blueprint and
immediately useful for
a family's future
survival." Read more...
Contingency Cannibalism: Superhardcore Survivalism's Dirty Little Secret
By Shiguro Takada
Paladin Press, (May 1999)
ISBN: 1581600259
Book Description:
Let's cut the crap. In a
life-or-death situation,
practicing cannibalism
is the ultimate test of a
survivalist's will to live.
Contingency
Cannibalism is a
twisted,
tongue-in-cheek look at
cannibalism as a
last-resort survival
option. Pulling no
punches, it answers
such pressing questions
as: Does it taste like
chicken? What will my
friends and family say?
Will I get a disease?
What if I like it?
Shiguro Takada
analyzes real-life case
studies of determined
survivors who engaged
in cannibalism to save
their hides, including
the Donner Party and
the Uruguayan rugby
team stranded in the
Andes Mountains. He
also dissects historical
episodes of wide-scale
cannibalism in such
places as Scotland,
China and Africa for
vital lessons on how
not to practice
contingency
cannibalism. Read more...
The Foraging Gourmet
By Katie Letcher Lyle
The Lyons Press, (May 1997)
ISBN: 1558215298
Amazon.com Editorial Review:
As Katie Letcher Lyle
says, "The thrill of
foraging is getting
something for nothing."
And, as she points out,
it often does take you
to beautiful places,
from sandy beaches to
wild flower-filled
meadows and cool
woods. Lyle crams a
substantial amount into
this field guide and
cookbook. For 55
edibles, you learn what
to look for, supported
by drawings and some
color photos, plus
history, lore, and a
recipe or two for each
wild treasure. This
book seems sturdy
enough to survive
many seasons in your
backpack. Written for
an American audience,
it can also serve
foragers in Canada
and, to some degree,
Europe, as it includes
mushrooms, fruits, and
greens found in this
milieu as well. Read more...
