Self Reliance: A Recipe for the New Millenium [Paperback]

And welcome to the thousands of life-preserving, life-enhancing – and often sheer fun – ideas it reveals, all practical and inexpensive – for you and your family to use at once.

You will discover...

Ideas for freeing yourself from the expense and nuisances of the consumer society, becoming personally stronger, more self-reliant and more self-fulfilled, and including – saving money, living better, and thriving, in the very heart of the city jungle... or even the wilderness.

Ideas that are entertaining, often highly unusual, but always practical...

More ideas for practical self-reliance than have ever before been published in Britain in one book... including:

HOW TO:

Buy everything at low trade prices, or even below them.

Earn a predictable income from manufacturers contests.

Make your own delicious food ‘products’ to save money and eat better.

Cut your commuting costs dramatically, or get more miles to the gallon (kilometres to the litre) from your car.

Save cash in your household spending to a degree you never thought possible.

Be sure of finding food – even during famine.

Set up a well stocked ‘survival retreat’ in the country – even on a very low income.

And much, much more...
