Living in the woods

No.692118 View ViewReplyOriginalReport
Hi /out/, this is my first time posting here.
To keep it short, I want to basically live out in the woods, in a little small cabin that will only have a small fridge/freezer, radio, antenna T.V., and a couple of lights, maybe an electric heater. I plan on building this cabin myself and pay for water and electricity with a check from the government.

Now this isn't me completely being self sufficient but its going to be pretty close.
I understand that in the winter i'm going to have to buy food from the store, however i want to mostly hunt, forage and farm the food I eat.
I would just like some pointers on some books i should read about foraging and surviving in the woods, because most of the stuff that came up on google was just stuff about how to farm organically. I'll need to know more than this, I need to know what kinds of fruit and vegetables are safe to eat (i understand this is region specific mostly) just things like that.
Does anyone know of a book that could tell me the basics of living on your own in the woods?
I've been thinking of supplies I'll need, like an axe,gun and skinning knife for starters. Any tips or suggestions on what all I should have with me when I do it would be nice.

Pic related, its one of the things i don't want to
happen to me.
