Yeah bou, we've got two of his - "The Self-sufficient Gardener" & "The Complete Book of Self-sufficiency" both from the end of the '70s. We wouldn't be without them. A few others we have were published by "Prism Press" they were the "Backyard Series" - The Backyard Dairy book - all about cows and goats and how to care for them, milk them and then how to make butter and cheese. Backyard Beekeeping, Backyard Pig & Sheep book, and Backyard Poultry Book. All chocker with good information.
For in depth descriptions on smoking and curing of meat, try Keith Erlandson's "Home Smoking & Curing" and for more details on making cheese, there's Glynn Christian's "Cheese and Cheese Making. Once again, all these books are from the late'70s.

Yes Lorien,

The Drawback for this issue, is that is so much information out there, that you cannot print, blindly and insert there. So, then you have to make excerpts... then you maybe, you skim the documents and copy just the significative pics, graphs or some major idea. Of course, this issue is an maybe-tomorrow, for many of us.

So, a few good books is a must have, no files, no print, end story. I bought the book "Dare to prepare 2009 Edition" of Holly Deyo, which I found very, very complete. Even it seems bulky, the paper is not so dense and is not heavy. Is good to have this one:

Plus some of the US army guides, you have in this wpage, all of them:

there are some How To survive guides, some engineering manuals (very useful!) and a lot of insightful information there.

Dears,

What is your opinion about this book: Ball Blue Book of preserving

http://www.amazon.com/Ball-Blue-Book.../dp/0972753702

Is it good and complete about that food preserving subject?

We used to put lots of pickles, jams and fruits in sweet syrup, during harsh communist times, but lately we all bought from store (with a lot of preservative, toxic E's and sugar/HFCS, etc) So, I think we need to re-learn what we used to do before, if we want to preserve our health.

And I really do not want those foods, "preserved" by iradiating with Cobalt 60 isotope, as EU is preparing for us, from 2010, Codex Alimentarius
