Destiny Survival

                While reading through the May/June 2009 “Backwoods Home Magazine,” I came across a couple of recommendations saying that interested readers should get a copy of The "Have-More" Plan, by Ed and Carolyn Robinson.  As it happens, this short 72 page paperback, published by Storey Publishing, is available from Amazon.com at a good price.  If you’re homesteading or considering getting back to more basic, self reliant living, you’ll want this book.

            Amazon’s description of the book and its authors sums things up nicely.

This 50-year-old back-to-the-land classic shows how to find land, build a homestead, grow vegetables and fruits, raise livestock, build farm structures, and more.

“It has been Ed and Carolyn Robinson’s dream that every family can own a home and a little land. Their classic book, The "Have-More" Plan, was written in the 1940’s. The book has been kept in print unchanged because it is still, after 50 years, a useful reference for the home gardener. Over 500,000 people have now discovered how to do things in ways that work simply and well.

Ed said, " …poultry, goats, lettuce, and home canning haven’t changed much in the generation since The "Have-More" Plan was first published. Today home gardening seems on the verge of a giant step forward: We can now get more produce on small plots by using plastic cover-ups over raised beds to extend growing seasons. This ushers in a new era for home production."

            Order your copy of The "Have-More" Plan, by Ed and Carolyn Robinson by clicking on the picture of the book.  That takes you to the Amazon.com page featuring the book.  Get an extra copy for a friend or family member who wants to start out on a new homesteading and survival venture.
