Print out now all the handy little tips and suvival how-tos you find on the web because if the electricity goes, all that information will be lost.

------------------------------

I have been buying books more than that, the web is okay, but I want solid books that are well made and have value. I've got the Foxfire books, and other country know how books. I have the SAS Survival guides, and quite a few 1950s books on woodworking and construction. I want the most solid knowledge that I can find, and usually it is found at used book stores in the antique book section. Angier's backpacking book is gold. Hunter/trapper guide books and animal husbandry and gardening books are filled with the "knowledge of generations".

Try alibris.com if you haven’t for older books. Also, check out Gutenberg.org for free downloadable books of ‘older’ technologies.
