>>828074>an instructional manual on how to prepare oneself, practically, and what the most important tools to that life would be.The foxfire series is full of 'the way they used to do everything'; it's the single best resource I know of. Aside from that, you might look into mother earth magazine. It's got lots of things centered around self sufficiency and homesteading. Also, there's a book called where there is no doctor... or maybe it's when there is no doctor. Either way, decent resource.
