There’s never been a better time to “be prepared.” Matthew Stein’s comprehensive primer on sustainable living skills—from food and water to shelter and energy to first-aid and crisis-management skills—prepares you to embark on the path toward sustainability. But unlike any other book, Stein not only shows you how to live “green” in seemingly stable times, but to live in the face of potential disasters, lasting days or years, coming in the form of social upheaval, economic meltdown, or environmental catastrophe.
When Technology Fails covers the gamut. You’ll learn how to start a fire and keep warm if you’ve been left temporarily homeless, as well as the basics of installing a renewable energy system for your home or business. You’ll learn how to find and sterilize water in the face of utility failure, as well as practical information for dealing with water-quality issues even when the public tap water is still flowing. You’ll learn alternative techniques for healing equally suited to an era of profit-driven malpractice as to situations of social calamity. Each chapter (a survey of the risks to the status quo; supplies and preparation for short- and long-term emergencies; emergency measures for survival; water; food; shelter; clothing; first aid, low-tech medicine, and healing; energy, heat, and power; metalworking; utensils and storage; low-tech chemistry; and engineering, machines, and materials) offers the same approach, describing skills for self-reliance in good times and bad.
Fully revised and expanded—the first edition was written pre-9/11 and pre-Katrina, when few Americans took the risk of social disruption seriously—When Technology Fails ends on a positive, proactive note with a new chapter on “Making the Shift to Sustainability,” which offers practical suggestions for changing our world on personal, community and global levels.

Get on the EXPRESS for “Survival Skills”
Know How to Prepare for Common Disasters at Home and Learn Survival Skills to Survive in the Wild on Your Own
What is the purpose of a human’s life? We’ll get to that later.
But first – would you know what to do when a wildfire sets ablaze, a flood happens, a hurricane strikes, a tornado hits, or an earthquake occurs…or when there is a world crisis of food shortage and everybody in your household is starving?
Or what about if you were in an accident and lost in the middle of nowhere, or worse…stranded on a deserted island on your own with no form of human contact or communication away from civilization?
Just how are you going to handle yourself in these situations?
Sounds extreme? Perhaps. But thinking it can’t happen to you? Think again!
The biggest mistake is to assume such incidents can’t happen to you because…they certainly can to anyone when least expected, and if you haven’t thought about what to do by then, it may be too late and you won’t survive.
The key to survival is to always be prepared and already possessed the foundational knowledge of basic survival skills.
By taking the “Survival Skills Express,” your destination includes:
– How to survive out in the wilderness with bushcraft skills using only whatever you can find in your environment.
– How to live off the grid with homesteading for self-sufficiency and self-sustainability without ever relying on anybody else.
– How to manage natural and man-made disasters at home to keep you and your family safe and away from harm.
– How to do prepping the right way so you’re always prepared to have what you need during any emergency.
– How to get your body to peak performance shape to strive in the most extreme living conditions and situations.
– Also, personalized hands-on exercises and applications to put everything into action on how to be a true survivalist.
…and much more.
At the beginning we asked what is the purpose of a human’s life. Have you figure it out by now? It’s about survival, long enough for procreation.
You can never know all what life has in store or what is going to happen. Yet, the best thing you can do is be prepared. And that is what survival skills are for – in times of the unexpected when you need to survive. So be a survivalist, or be wiped out from the gene pool. Your choice.

7 Reasons to Homestead: Why Self Sufficiency is The Best Safety Net | The Healthy Home Economist
7 Reasons to Homestead: Why Self Sufficiency is The Best Safety Net
by Sarah Updated: September 22, 2017Green Living
If the numerous natural disasters in recent weeks have taught us anything, it’s that the more citizens are self sufficient, the better they fare when Mother Nature runs amok. When this self sufficiency is pursued as a lifestyle, it is known as homesteading.Have you noticed that in the aftermath of unexpected and devastating disruptions to modern life, it is frequently the homesteaders who rise up as the everyday heroes? I know I have.
The Cajun navy is a great example of homesteaders in action. These are folks whose self sufficiency skills gave them the ability to reach out and and help others in need during the direst of circumstances.
Why Homesteading Helps (whether urban or rural)
Let’s take a look at the top 7 reasons why homesteading is becoming a “thing” today no matter whether a family lives in a rural or urban setting. In fact, the more our society modernizes and becomes dependent on technology, the more critical these traditional life skills become.
To learn more about incorporating homesteading skills at your own modern homestead, check out the educational website Steader. You can best support this valuable homesteading initiative by participating in its Kickstarter campaign.
1. Stuff happens
Snow storms, hurricanes, and so much else. Extended power outages. Downed trees. The better prepared and skilled you are, the less it HURTS and the more you can HELP others.
2. Skills for life
Especially for kids, homesteading instills work ethic, problem solving, use of a wide variety of tools and so many other skills. It is also the best and most fun way to learn! From how to grow broccoli to fixing the brakes, steading creates life skills that cannot be lost or replaced. They are skills that serve as a safety net for children for their entire lives.
3. So beautiful!
Homesteaders turn resource consuming areas into resource producing paradises. Homesteading can save money and time, while turning your land into something worth living in! A homestead can be a haven in the modern world, a place to rejuvenate mind, body, spirit, and even your microbiome!
4. Simple Education
A few recent studies show that many Americans not only don’t know where there food comes from but don’t even know how it grows! Kids (and adults!) who think potatoes grow on trees and chickens poop tomatoes! A friend of mine once told me how her co-worker, disgusted by hearing that her eggs came from chickens, said, “my eggs come from Kroger.”
Cultivating an appreciation for real food and farmers needs to begin at home, including your backyard or back porch if possible. Even the most urban or apartment dwelling homesteader can show the beauty and value of growing food and redeeming spaces.
5. Exercise the Traditional Way
Most Americans spend money (and lots of it!) to get exercise. Homesteaders get it for free, seriously. But instead of getting it in crammed indoor gyms with stale air at five or six AM before work, we get it under gorgeous sunrises while collecting fresh eggs and herbs, smelling lovely flowers and fragrant plants, and listening to the birds and the bees pollinate our plants. It is just a free part of the homesteading experience, no monthly fee required, just a backyard or a back quarter acre or more!
6. Security
Finances suddenly tight? Job lost overnight? When you have no slack in your system, such things can be devastating, or at the very least, incredibly stressful. But if you have a garden full of food, a cellar full of foodstuffs, a large stack of firewood to heat and cook with, things don’t seem so bad. Many families we know (ours included) got through sudden tough times because homesteading insulated us from the shocks and stresses of sudden, even extreme financial changes.
7. Resilience
The more people in a community who have skills, grow food, catch rain water, have gardens, and so on, the better prepared that community is to take care of itself and others during hard times. Homesteaders become part of the solution rather than the problem when things go wrong, both for themselves and for others. We want to be the kind of people who can assist our neighbors near and far, when times are tough. Let’s face it, homesteaders can be real everyday heroes like the Cajun Navy after Hurricanes Katrina and Harvey.
These are just a few reasons you should consider becoming a Steader, whether urban, rural, or something in between. Because that is what Steader is all about, helping you, your family, and community have the skills to live abundantly, no matter what the world throws at you.
