The Rugged Life by Clint Emerson is the perfect guide to self-reliance. Backed by New York Times bestselling author and retired Navy SEAL Jack Carr, this book offers a step-by-step guide to living off the land, being prepared for the unexpected, and achieving independence. Become the homesteader you've always wanted to be with The Rugged Life.
Clint Emerson is the go-to expert for surviving the first minutes, hours, and days of a crisis. Now, in The Rugged Life, he works with modern homesteading experts to show you how to thrive over the long-term-for months, years, or even a lifetime-by being prepared and self-sufficient.You can live the Rugged Life completely off-the-grid by farming your own food and using the waste from your toilet for compost. Or, you can live it by adding solar panels to your suburban home and keeping chickens and bees in your backyard. You can even live the Rugged Life in a city by simply gathering the salad for tonight's dinner from your windowsill garden. Each of these homesteading and prepper long-term survival skills stand on their own, and taken together, they can help you design the independent life you want for yourself and your family.
