/r/Self-Sufficiency: A place for anyone looking to reduce their dependencies

r/SelfSufficiency

Resources to help you live self sufficient.

Gardening, green energy, and do it yourself. Anything and anything to help you cut the umbilical cord and start relying on yourself.

This is for resources only. Please no articles talking about how good self sufficiency is. Only things that will help you do it.
