I recently saw a message on (I think!) this Group asking whether
anyone knew of web sites devoted to all aspects of self-sufficiency.

The site to check out is The Get-A-Life Index. It's at
http://www.getalifeindex.com.
It's so new I don't know if the search engines have picked it up yet.

There are hundreds of references-- Not only links to web sites, but
also books and articles and other information

The site is organized into categories and sub-categories including
Food (gardening, recipes, storage, etc.); Alternative Medicine;
House-building, Homesteading; Energy (solar, wind, etc.); Work
(starting your own business or changing jobs/careers), etc.
