But before you go, check out these resources.

Thanks for grabbing the checklist. Below is a list (which I continually add to) of gear, resources, and companies I highly recommend.

All gear, products, and companies that I recommend have all been personally vetted and field-tested by me, and in my opinion are worth their weight in gold.

I hope these suggestions will help you on your path to becoming more capable and resilient.

Self Sufficient Back Yard Book

This book shows in great detail how a family of 4 can become near self-sufficient on a quarter-acre by strategically developing systems.

Written by old-school off-grid people, this is an excellent blueprint for getting systems set up around your house and property, even if you don't own massive acreage.

Highly recommended!

Here's to your path towards further independence

I hope the resources above can help you in some small way on your journey to becoming less dependent on systems and in becoming the kind of person who can thrive in any situation.

I look forward to serving you in the future. Let's break this hold modernity has over our lives and minds.
