thats very.. morman :eek:
Is mormanism always part and parcel with survivalism or is it just this one group that made the book?
for historical reasons it was always a teaching of the mormons that everyone should have at least one years supply of food ready in case of disaster, for themselves and to help others. It fell into a bit of disuse in recent decades, but lately there has been a big revival of that teaching and more mormons are taking it seriously.
In the states (not sure about elsewhere) the mormons have community canning facilities that any mormon can use to can food, typically in big cans rather than jars. (what we would call bottling but americans also call canning
)
There preparedness manual is where i started in terms of planning a storage food supply.(see 'stocking up at tesco's)0 -

I think the self sufficiency book is out of copyright. I wasn't looking for an electronic copy. Just googled and one popped up so thanks very much says I. I think I'll buy a paper copy though. It's the kind of thing that deserves a bit of paper.

The sharing was also very much on my mind when working this up. I wanted as few folders as possible while not compromising a users ability to find information.
also I was finding that some of the collections I 'found' might have several different copes of the same documents, only its called something slight different each time. that and documents named in a cryptic way which meant you had no idea what was actually in the file. so I have gone to the effort of renaming the majority of the documents, which should help find what your after and with the added benefit of helping weed out duplicates.
In many cases I put each file in its own sub-folder and give the folder the long title and keep the original cryptic title on the file. The advantage for me of keeping the original file name is I can check if I already have the file which saves on bandwidth on my limited speed connection.
To throw a spanner in the works I also separate out some files according to file type. I can't see the point of having a 650Mb video of about bomb shelters in the same folder as a 650Kb ebook file about building bomb shelters. I try and get videos out in their own set of folders and ebooks in another.
Of course provided you keep the same drive letters on your USB drives which is fairly easy you can keep one central set of category folders and sub-folders and put links into any larger file you have moved out.
Another category I have is just Magazines, I can't resist torrenting the latest survival mags
One thing I do occasionally is to run this little batch file in the root of the folder or drive with all the sub-folders and filesDIR /B /s > list.txt pause
Just create a txt file and rename it as a batch (.bat) file copy in the code and run it. It lists all the files and folders you have in a file named list.txt in the same folder as the batch file. Obviously you can change the switches on the DIR command to provide other information if required.0 -
