Self-Sufficiency
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. –Alex |

This is a *pay* site. There are zillions of free sites with
this info - they're all over the Web. Any recommendations? |

Just go to Google and type in the search box the subject of interest: whether 'gardening' 'homesteading', 'self-sufficiency' etc. If it's a two-word topic use " -- like this "home preserving" . Also, go to http://www.waltonfeed.com - and click on 'Information Area'. (I can't give the exact URL you will get then, my ISP is having problems today and I can't get o the Web much today.) Pat |

Just go to Google and type in the search box the subject of interest: whether 'gardening' 'homesteading', 'self-sufficiency' etc. Well, Google isn't for personal recommendations. I prefer someone actually recommending sites that they like. Why reinvent the wheel? |

I'm not following your logic. I asked for personal recommendations of self-sufficiency web sites. If I don't know of any, how could I answer that myself? People often pull the Google card but that is not the answer to all web site requests. Personal recommendations are often for the gems of the web. :) |

Personal recommendations are often for the gems of the web. :) Well, it appears the original post in this thread was spam; your "question" was none too specific ("any recommendations?"); and a suggestion to search on terms that fit your interests seemed a reasonable response. My own thoughts immediately turned to "The Good Life" BBC comedy series (shown here on some PBS stations some years ago as "Good Neighbors") about a couple who decided to drop out of the rat race and become self-sufficient in their own suburban home. Not much useful instruction, but very amusing. |

Personal recommendations are often for the gems of the web. :) In this particular case, I have too MANY of them to easily give recommendations, especially since I use IE, and IE does not keep its 'favorites' ('bookmarks' to Netscape users) in an easily accessible format. I made a mistake and made a joint category - 'Gardening/Homesteading' - in my 'favorites' and there are probably hundreds of URLs there now. This should have been separate categories. If I could just send you a text file, I would. But as I said, IE doesn't keep favorites in an easily accessible format. Pat |

What is the problem with IE 'favorites'? It works fine for me. I just create folders and subfolders as appropriate. Bob |

Works fine for me too, but not for sharing with others: they are not kept - AFAIK - in one text file anywhere. If the favorites are all in one text file anywhere, I haven't been able to find it.

To transfer a list of 'favorites'. You can "export" favorites to an html file, either all or any particular folders. That might help. Bob |
