The Country Living Bible 5-in-1: The Definitive Homesteading for Peppers to Live and Thrive Off the Grid|Including Survival Skills to Stay Independent, Safe, and Healthy by Jake L. Bryan

Some people dream of living a simple life off the grid. Whether they are concerned about the destruction of the environment, are distrustful of government overreach, have religious or cultural reasons, are nostalgic for the past, or just simply crave a slower pace, living off the grid is a sought for dream. Jake L. Bryan’s The Country Living Bible is an ultimate guide for those who long for a simpler life in a complicated world. 

The book is actually five books in one that takes Readers through the various facets on rural living. It includes chapters on selecting and building a homestead, growing, preparing, and storing food, emergency preparedness, survival skills, energy and water solutions, home maintenance and repairs, safety and security strategies, and holistic, alternative, and natural medicines and remedies. This is a book that caters to one’s physical, mental, and emotional well being while undertaking such a monumental task. 

Many of the chapters stress simplicity and living off of the land. High prices at the grocery store? Grow your own food. Concerned about increased carbon footprints? Use solar, hydro, and wind energy. Concerned about the constant stream of technology and misinformation? Use public WiFi services like the library or pay for a limited basic connection.This book gives clear directions and step-by-step processes on how to do such things. 

Some of the more interesting parts include sections that talk about security and health services. The security chapters cover such things as monitoring and using surveillance around the properties. Above all, an important factor is to trust the neighboring community to assist in protection. People assume living off the grid means living completely separately and away from everyone else, but Bryan shows that the strongest off the gridders actually have thriving communities where people communicate and work together. 

The health section includes various plants and herbs for remedies, fitness routines for exercise, and stress management techniques to improve mental health. While it offers advice on how to apply first aid and treatments for simple illnesses and injuries, it doesn’t dismiss medical treatment offhand. By all means, it says if there is a complex injury or a serious illness, contact emergency services immediately. It’s nice to know that even though one desires to live outside of modern society, the modern society is still there in case help is needed.

Off the grid living is not recommended for everyone. But for those that are interested and are willing to pursue it, this book is a strategic helpful guide on how to get started.
