What would you do in an emergency , or in a long term seclusion ? Well , I would go to my Encyclopedia.
I am by no means saying go out and buy a brand new encyclopedia , personally I actually prefer older encyclopedias from the 60's and 70's they tend to have better illustrations of how things work , and of what plants look like.
I found that if you cruise through craigslist of book shops you can find them at more than reasonably affordable prices , and at times you can even get them free.
Please dont forget to invest in you future , and quite possibly your children's future. Even if you dont have children , are you sure you will never have any under your care ? Do you have a sufficient amount of information for basic as well as advanced teaching in your home.
Things you can do with an encyclopedia :
- Look up Edible Plants
- Look Up Medicinal Herbs
- Look up How things Work
- Look up basic Medical Procedures
- How to Butcher an Animal
- How things are made
