Yikes! Forgot to list it!

I've been completely remiss. The latest Back-to-Basics bundle has been available for the past week, and I totally spaced it (we've been busy!).

These bundles are astoundingly comprehensive. Subjects including cooking from scratch, do-it-yourself, food storage, natural remedies, preparedness, homesteading, frugal living, gardening, natural living, and natural parenting.

This year's Bundle contains 53 authors; 59 ebooks, courses, or videos; and a number of bonus offers (a canning bundle, an essential oil bundle, and discounts or freebies for such things as custom tea blends, health foods, and some cool paracord Celtic knot necklaces -- I'm a sucker for Celtic knot anything).

However due to my laxness, the last day for purchasing the Bundle is (cough cough) tomorrow. Sorry about that. The cost for the Bundle is $39.97 for online access, $64.97 for a USB flash drive, and $69.97 for a flash drive plus online access.

Sorry I didn't list this earlier, but please go take a look at what they have to offer. I think you'll be impressed.

Wanna be a writer?

If anyone is interested, there's a writing opportunity open with the Back to Basics Bundle I participate in each year.

If you have knowledge about preparedness, rural living, homesteading, gardening, animal husbandry, food preservation, or anything else which would be compatible with the Back to Basics theme, then the folks who pull it together want to hear from you. Click on this link and fill in the application (tell them I referred you) and see if you can become a participant.

Don't wait, though, since the B2B folks are busy trying to assemble new material and content for their next bundle. If you've ever wanted to see your writing in print -- or if you're an experienced blogger or writer -- then they want to hear from you. Go pitch your ideas and see what happens. It's a nice team of people and you'll be glad you did.

Last chance for Back to Basics Bundle

This is the last chance to participate in the Back to Basics Bundle. It ends at 10 pm Central time.

(I hunted around and actually managed to figure out how to insert a countdown clock -- aren't you proud of me? -- but of course it's a free demo doohickey.)

Pretty nifty stuff if you're into the whole simple living/homesteading/self-sufficiency thing, as we are. Thanks and happy reading!

Back to Basics Bundle (going fast)

This year I tried something new: I participated in a really really neat thing called the Back to Basics Bundle.

The idea behind this concept is to gather all kinds of nifty information from many different people into one big, affordable, convenient e-package. This year there are over 70 ebooks, online courses, and other miscellaneous offerings. Yowza, it’s cool.

So what kind of information is contained in this bundle? It has stuff for anyone interested in homesteading, rural living, etc.:

• Cooking from scratch
• Do-it-yourself
• Food storage
• Frugal living
• Gardening
• Homesteading
• Natural parenting
• Natural remedies
• Preparedness
• Simple living

Each of these categories contains an astounding amount of information. (Ahem. Yours truly contributed to the canning section.) The bundle also includes a one-year subscription to Molly Green, a homeschooling planner, a gardening coloring book, a three-month membership to the SchoolHouse Teachers website (300 online courses!), a 52-week preparedness guide, and – this is way cool – the newest book from Lisa Bedford (the Survival Mom) called “One Second After the Lights Go Out.”

The nice thing about this bundle is the writers are all hands-on experts in cooking or building or gardening or homeschooling. Most if not all have well-known websites (the Survival Mom, the Organic Prepper, etc.).

Frankly, for $29.97, you could do a lot worse, especially since you essentially get a whole self-reliance library in one fell swoop. You even have 30 days to review the material and get a refund if you aren’t happy.

For those who prefer to download things directly to their Kindle, instructions are here.

If your internet speed is slow, for an additional $25, Back 2 Basics can send you a flash drive loaded with everything. (This also means not only can you download the ebooks onto multiple computers, but you can reuse the flash drive.)

But I did something stupid on my end. This bundle is only sold for seven days, and five of those days are already gone. In other words, this bundle is only available through Sunday, January 22. My bad, I got caught up on lots of stuff this week and simply forgot to announce it.

So – if you’re interested in what I believe is an amazing deal with an impressive amount of information, click here. Download your info. Then let me know what you think. And happy reading!
