I must have a really short term memory with knots. I can quickly learn them, but two weeks later it's gone. Guess practice is the key, like most things.

Added:

+prepping for a pandemic: life-saving supplies, skills and plans for surviving an outbreak

 

[Maverick]

Added:
+emergency/survival hygiene: a prepper "cookbook" for making survival personal hygiene products

A couple of book's that I read as a young boy that inspired me at an early age to prep and be self-sufficient was My Side of the Mountain by Jean Craighead George and Rascal by Sterling North. These two kids books had a big impact on me at an early age that I think helped define who I am today. I highly recommend both books to any young boy to read.
Another important book that l got as a pre teen was Wildwood Wisdom. Which I passed down to my son and he just passed on to his son.

Added:
+the practical camp cook

This book covers a lot of topics not just cooking. It goes from building fires to trapping to skinning to foraging to cooking it all to equipment, it includes recipes with pictures throughout the book. It's an 30yr old book I say is a must have for the library. I found this in the stables office though don't remember ever purchasing it... age I'm thinking.

Here is some basic edible plants, a good idea would be to organize a list like this for your area and print it out, then maybe laminate it for use in foraging. Im making one for each family member.

That's a really good idea. I have one book on edible plants in my area. I'd like to get another one on medicinal plants for my area too.

Yes. Only for plants that grow in my area.

 

[Proud Prepper]

I have a Bayleaf tree, I recommend planting one if it grows in your area, it's good for seasoning many soups and bean dishes as well as has may medicinal uses.
It's also great for getting rid of bugs, put leaves in your stored dried grains and food goods.
