    All the authoritarian books that are supposed to help identify are great. 1984, Animal Farm, etc.

    But what about more practical books? Gardening, surviving martial law, prepping, militias/resistance, SERE, bushcraft, etc.

    1. Ecodefense: A Field Guide to Monkeywrenching by Bill Haywood

      Guerilla Warfare by Che Guevera

    2. The Backyard Farming series by Kim Pezza has some practical living off the land skills. The general “Homesteading” guide is a great place to start, but there are also guides on raising honey bees, pigs, and goats, gardening herbs and vegetables, all kinds of handy skills.

      Survive and Thrive by Bill Fulton and Jeanne Chilton Devon is an all-in-one guide for emergency preparedness. It focuses on the basics: food, water, shelter.

      A guide to your local flora and fauna is always handy. A local area foraging guide is even better, particularly if it discusses food and medicinal use. Check out your library or local bookstore for good suggestions. Hiking guides/maps of your local area wouldn’t be a bad idea either.

      My last tip: lots of individual resources are better than one go to source. I have seen a lot of ads for a one-stop book “to rebuild humanity” and I would never rely on something like that. I’d rather have several in-depth books about a single topic by an expert in that topic. Just my two cents.
