Hi, everyone. Im no longer around but stumbled on a few things recently that I thought you folks might like. I also no longer have internet so wont be able to respond.

As I have decided to put more of my focus into Permaculture, I stumbled onto this fantastic book. The Resilient Farm Homestead- An Innovative Permaculture and Whole Systems Design Approach
http://www.amazon.ca/The-Resilient-Farm-Homestead-Permaculture/dp/1603584447

The guy is clearly a prepper that doesn't use the word. Though permies generally wouldn't use the word, I have had a hew refer to them selves as "Deep Preppers" or "Resilient Preppers". I must recommend this book. Its had me beginning to focus on cold weather rice. My next experiment.

I recently went to an all day workshop on seed saving. Half of the participants had this book along and used it as a reference manual the entire day. We got ours last week and it is fantastic.

How to Save Your Own Seeds
A handbook for Small Scale Seed Production
Its so easy to understand. No filler. Easy to reference. For both pros and amateurs. Only 68 pages yet comprehensive...and cheap. A must have.

The last is a new article from FerFAL- More Great real-world Survival Lessons from Ukraine
http://ferfal.blogspot.ca/2015/03/more-great-real-world-survival-lessons.html
As usual FeFAL hits one out of the park.

As I sit through this mega winter where I have to dig out my windows to get light in (Oh why did I leave BC) I continue my man crush on John Micael Green over at the Archdruid Report. Fantastic writings each week on Thursdays. http://thearchdruidreport.blogspot.ca/ My favorite is still "The March of the Squirrels"

That's all for now. I hope everyone is well.
