'THE single most important purchase !!

asked in the TimeBomb 2000 (Y2000) Q&A Forum

After 15 years living in Alaska (where preparedness is routine) and
actually trying many of the things necessary to live without the "modern"
conveniences, I can say without reservation that there is one purchase
you should put above all others (except personal protection, if you are
so inclined).

The Encyclopedia of Country Living by Carla Emery Published by
Sasquatch Books, 1008 Western Ave, Seattle WA (206)467-4300
ISBN 0-912-365-95-1 $24.95

- - - Get it NOW - - -

I have NO financial interest whatsoever in anything connected with the
author, publisher, etc.

I DO have an interest in how well America survives.

If you think things may get worse than they are now, this is be the best
money you can spend (again, excepting personal protection).

In our household it is referred to as "Carlas Bible". We refer to it
continually.

ESPECIALLY if you have not done much lately in the area of growing
food, preserving food, or just generally taking care of yourself without
the help of supermarkets etc. THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU.

God be with us all, and keep you powder dry.

I agree with Gary that this is a very important book to have. It may be
difficult to find locally, but Amazon does carry it. Buy it and read it
NOW and then use it for a reference later.

Amen and AMEN! Worth a thousand times more than the purchase
price! I would suggest buying a copy for everyone on your 1999
Christmas list. We are.

here's my email response from Empire ---

Jack,
There is bound to be a lot of rumors out there about Y2K. I can assure
you, no decision of this kind has been made. For one thing, we don't have
nuclear reactors. What we are doing is inventorying, accessing,
remiediating and testing systems to bring them to Y2k readiness. Thanks for
your concern.
