Publisher's summary
A practical guide to self-sufficient and sustainable living from the star of Homestead Rescue.
Do you wish for a more resilient, sustainable, and empowered way of providing for your family in uncertain times? Are you worried about unreliable power grids, uncertain water supplies, or overly complex food chains? Veteran homesteader and star of Discovery's Homestead Rescue Marty Raney shares a big-picture vision of how ordinary families can become radically resilient homesteaders: powering, feeding, and caring for themselves through their own efforts, and on their own land.
This book will guide you to:
- Buy land with the natural resources to build and feed a homestead.
- Go off grid with your own power and water systems.
- Design a greenhouse that will keep growing even when it’s snowing.
- Confidently defend your home against all threats—grizzlies, forest fires, flash floods, and financial challenges.
Resources are only going to get more scarce. Raney will teach you to find food where others see dirt, and to build a home where others see empty land. He will inspire you to forge your own homestead dream and strengthen your family for all challenges to come.

Story
Have you ever desired, deep within your soul, to make a comfortable full-time living from a farming enterprise? Too often people dare not even vocalize this desire because it seems absurd. It's like thinking the unthinkable. After all, the farm population is dwindling. It takes too much capital to start. The pay is too low. The working conditions are dusty, smelly and noisy: Not the place to raise a family. This is all true, and more, for most farmers.

Huw Richards set himself a challenge - to grow his own fruit and veg for free for a year. He succeeded, and now wants to help you do the same. Can't afford a raised bed? Try repurposing an old wooden pallet. Don't want to spend money on buying plants? Look in the fridge and your kitchen cupboards for food that you can plant. Need a particular tool? Barter or borrow from a neighbour. Don't have a garden? See if someone in your area has an untended patch you can turn into a well-loved veg plot.

For the next ten years, he was at the center of a huge pop culture phenomenon and yet, in between filming, he would go back to being a normal teenager trying to fit into a normal school. Speaking with great candor and his signature humor, Tom shares his experience.

Think about your five closest friends. Are they happy? Do they live their lives with purpose? Do you? We put on a fake front for what we want people to see and think about us, but the reality is most people aren’t happy. We’re lost. We settle. We aren’t happy with where we are. You can’t be happy if you don’t know your purpose. It’s not possible. You want more but you don’t even know where to start. You know there is more out there. You see others having success and you want it, too; there is nothing wrong with that. You just need help finding your purpose.

Once there, Annie begins to restore her broken spirit, thanks, in part, to the folks she meets: a local painter, Keaton, whose large frame is equal to his big heart - and who helps Annie fix up her rental cottage by the sea; Mellie, the reclusive, prickly landlord Annie is determined to befriend; and Britt, a teenager with a terrible secret.

Bob Odenkirk’s career is inexplicable. And yet he will try like hell to explicate it for you. Charting a “Homeric” decades-long “odyssey” from his origins in the seedy comedy clubs of Chicago to a dramatic career full of award nominations - with a side trip into the action-man world that is baffling to all who know him - it’s almost like there are many Bob Odenkirks! But there is just one and one is plenty. Featuring humorous tangents, wild characters, and Bob’s trademark unflinching drive, Comedy Comedy Comedy Drama is a classic tale told by a determined idiot.

Global warming's physical impacts can be separated into three broad categories: melt, drought, and deluge. Funk travels to two dozen countries to profile entrepreneurial people who see a potential windfall in each of these forces. The melt is a boon for newly arable, mineral rich regions of the Arctic, such as Greenland - and for the man-made snow trade. Drought creates opportunities for private firefighters working for insurance companies as well as for fund managers backing south Sudanese warlords who control local farmland.

Please don’t let Hollywood confuse facts
I enjoyed the book but during the hunting chapter Raney tries to sidle up to non hunters by disparaging “trophy hunters”, a loaded description. I hunt for meat but he knows that all hunters are responsible for our right to hunt and most of habitat and wildlife conservation. Stay true…TV watchers are not allies. They come and go.

Get a great start for living off grid.
I loved this book read by the author. Its Easy to follow and well written. If you have seen any of the Homestead Rescue shows you will be familiar with the characters in the book which is always great but if you haven't you will want to by the time you are done with the book.
Even if you don't intend to live off grid you will learn something. The author gives his opinion of equipment, tools, etc and shares real information you can use. He paints a realistic picture of what homesteading entails not just one edited for television.
I recommend this to anyone. Easy to listen to and if you are paying attention at all you will learn something .

I didn't want this book to end!
So much good information and extremely motivating! And Marty Raney was very entertaining as usual with all of his puns and heartwarming stories. I learned new things, I laughed and even cried. Get this book. You won't regret it.
