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.

Great.

Great story read by a great character. Although it seems mostly an echo of the series, It's valid and thought through material.

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.

Amazing book!

I am a huge fan of this amazing family and was so thrilled when I came across their book. We watch homestead rescue every night and have used tips from the show for our own 5 acre homestead. I swear I’m their biggest fan!

Fantastic Story written and read by an amazing Man

I really enjoyed this book and the narration. It has a lot of very useful information for someone who is just thinking about getting into homesteading, as well as people that may have already been living this lifestyle. I admire Marty Raney and I thank him for taking the time to put this together.

Excellent book - much better than anticipated

Marty shares his wins, trials, and challenges from living a homesteader's life.
When time permits, I plan to watch his video series too.

Best book I’ve ever listened to on Audible

Amazing information and super relaxing to listen to. Marty Raney is the real deal, his wisdom and knowledge can help everyone. He is a huge mentor to me and I hope he reaches the rest of the younger generation of men and women. Highly Recommend!

Excellent Information

Loved it! Goes more in depth than the show. Definitely inspiring. Looking to make some changes, but probably won't be fully off grid.

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.
