Synopsis

Discover essential, hype-free steps to become more resilient for everyday living and common emergencies.

Whether you are buying land and embarking on creating a homestead or living in an urban setting, Common Sense Preparedness will help you understand the basics of self-sufficiency. This guide provides a comprehensive overview of homesteading and preparedness, combining the best of old and new skills and modern technology. From growing your own food and medicine, to food storage and preservation, to planning for emergencies and more, you can feel confident facing common challenges such as natural disasters, rising food prices, and supply chain disruptions.

Preparedness is more than survival—it's about freedom, responsibility, and resilience. It's not stockpiling for the end of the world, but instead building a life that's steady in a world that's not. Laurie Neverman of Common Sense Home shares her experiences, insight, and tips and tricks from her family’s homestead so that you can create a life of abundance wherever you live. Chapters cover:

• Gardening and permaculture basics
• Food preservation and building a deep pantry
• Wildcrafting and foraging for food and medicine
• Collecting, storing, and purifying water
• Maintaining a disaster-resistant home
• Emergency hygiene, first aid, and waste disposal
• Developing a prepared state of mind
• And more!
