More Prepping E-Books: Recommended By Common Sense Home

Earlier this year I had come across an article by August Neverman at Common Sense Home reviewing the book The Lost Ways by Claude Davis. Neverman didn't like it, writing: "The Lost Ways books touts itself as a survival book, teaching you how to live like a pioneer or Native American. In reality, it reads more like a collection of blog posts, with modern technology sprinkled throughout."

    But Neverman included a list of books he did recommend with links to where you could buy them. I bookmarked the list for later review and came back to it the other day and decided to publish his list with links to downloadable copies. His list, quoted verbatim but with my download links, is as follows:

• Carla Emery's Encyclopedia of Country Living (PDF)
• The Homesteader's Herbal Companion (PDF)
• The Boy Scouts Handbook (1911 version) (epub)
• SAS Survival Handbook (epub)
• Where there is no doctor (PDF)
• Where there is no dentist (PDF)
• and if you are really focused on medical prepping, Lange Medical books (for reference) our cardiac surgeon friend recommends these – Surgery, Orth, Pediatrics and so on [to wit:
• Lange Current Diagnosis And Treatment Surgery (PDF)
• Lange Current Diagnosis & Treatment in Orthopedics (epub)
• Lange Current Diagnosis and Treatment Pediatrics (PDF)]
• Peterson Field Guide to Medicinal Plants and Herbs of Eastern and Central North America [I couldn't find this one, but here is an alternative: Field Guide to Medicinal Wild Plants: 2nd Edition (epub)]
• Butchering Poultry, Rabbit, Lamb, Goat, and Pork: The Comprehensive Photographic Guide to Humane Slaughtering and Butchering (epub) (or PDF here). [See also Butchering Beef: The Comprehensive Photographic Guide to Humane Slaughtering and Butchering (PDF)].

Most smart phones include a book reader that is capable of reading epub files downloaded onto the device without hassle; something that has shifted my preference from getting items in MOBI or other Kindle formats and switching to epub where possible.
