Thanks so much for your interest in participating in the digital library I've been working on during the last two years. It's certainly been a labor of love.
As rheumatoid arthritis has forced me to change work habits and to reflect on exactly what I might have to contribute to the *greater good*, I've thought a lot about what it means to have lived 50+ years without a nuclear family of my own- no grand love story, nor children to pour accrued knowledge into.
The truth is the majority of people have responsibilities I simply don't have: professional careers, kids, grand-kids, amazing friend groups and full social calendars. And unlike me, it's likely you don't have time to mine the internet for information on how to survive (or, what to do) if, say, the power grid goes down; or, how to build a root cellar; all about pickling and canning; how to develop an hydroponics scenario; or the basics of HAM Radio Operation. Just to name a few valuable skill sets for the future.
Perhaps that's been a nagging worry in the back of your mind. Well, fear no more. During the past two years I've been collecting paid and free information pertaining to *how to exist* in this crazy world. Particularly a world in which it's now incumbent upon us as free men to become self-reliant.
Introducing a free library of digitized books, magazines, blogs, videos and more. Consider this project a safety-net. A backup library you will save to a hard drive in the event of a sustained power-outage. To be sure, this is the sort of information you could collate yourself... if in reality you had time to execute all the research. Baring in mind all the unrest in the world today, it would be a massive wager to assume the internet as we know it today will always be here. And, this digital library contains exactly the sort of information you'd regret not having access to should a power emergency arise.
Here are just a few of the libraries within, which are currently located in the online cloud storage client called Dropbox:
Art
Aquaponics
Bush-craft
Bug-out
HAM Radio
Carpentry
DIY
Food Production
Energy & Fuel
First-Aid
Gardening (all kinds!)
Homesteading
Hunting and Fishing
Productivity
Navigation
Self Defense
Wood Working…
... as well as proprietary information from experts in these fields, plus so much more. Trust me when I say these libraries are worth exceedingly more than their weight in gold!
The library is open-access to anyone online. On principle, this contribution to the world will not be hidden behind a paywall. Additionally, donors to this campaign for storage and maintenance fees are encouraged to request topics of research to be added in the future to this safety-net library. Donors may also directly contribute to the library in consultation with the library's content moderator (me). This is a democratic project!
A million thanks in advance to those who choose to fund this digital resource library. Maybe the $$ goal has already been surpassed, but you've come to this campaign to donate because you've estimated that the hundreds of hours put into this project so far to be worth it. It truly is a priceless collection of information that you and your legacy will benefit from for years to come!
Below is the link to the extensive library. As it is a work in progress, indexing will become more elegant as time goes on. Thanks for your patience!
