Self-sufficiency is the state of not requiring any aid, support, or interaction, for survival; it is therefore a type of personal or collective autonomy. The term self-sufficiency is usually applied to varieties of sustainable living in which nothing is consumed outside of what is produced by the self-sufficient individuals. Examples of attempts at self-sufficiency include simple living, homesteading, off-the-grid, survivalism, DIY ethic and the back-to-the-land movement. Practices that enable or aid self-sufficiency include autonomous building, permaculture, sustainable agriculture, and renewable energy. The term is also applied to limited forms of self-sufficiency, for example growing one's own food or becoming economically independent of state subsidies.

My daughter had to do a water filtration system as part of her degree studies.

Others only scored between 66-83% not fit for human consumption....this was stagnant water in a pond btw.

Personally, i don't rate the sas survival books. Ok there's some useful bits in em but not much of benefit to yer average westerner if tshtf.

Books like food for free by richard mabey, in conjunction with a field guide or two would be of greater help i think. Ofc only a fool would wait till tshtf to try out stuff they find in a book. I would recommend anyone to get out in the wilds and get used to 'roughing it'. Not just in case tshtf but more so because it is a very very beneficial thing to do.

You missed my post on another thread about cutting off all power to my house in the middle of last winter to see how my boy would cope didn't you? :D
Also, the SAS book does cover edible wild food too.
Best case scenario for a girlie....befriend an SAS guy or two, or three! :D
