Here are 8 recipes for self-sufficiency that are very simple and can get you on the right path towards a self sufficient lifestyle.
So many people worry about not having enough land, not being allowed to have chickens, etc.
But there is one basic building block of a self sufficient life people overlook a lot of times.
