SURVIVAL, HOMESTEADING, SELF-RELIANCE
We are on hard times again and maybe sliding back into a great depression! Do you want to save money now? Are you ready to get BACK TO BASICS and become SELF RELIANT? We need to remember the old time life styles on how we once lived. Are you ready to get back to basics?
The internet and/or CD’s and even the Kindle, are great, you can get so much information! But if the net went down or there was no electrical available, then the good old fashioned book would come in very handy!
