Book review: In his new book “Homestead Survival,” Alaska reality TV star Marty Raney dishes out advice for would-be homesteaders looking to make a “great escape.”
By Marty Raney; TarcherPerigee/Penguin Random House, 2022; 187 pages; $20.
“Homesteaders” in the book’s context refers to any people who have sought back-to-the-land lifestyles. “Off-the-grid people” and “survivalists” are considered to be homesteading, as are those who want to raise or hunt and gather what they eat. Often, the people Raney describes are in family groups, isolated by choice, rather than in community.
The guide is organized into 15 chapters for easy reading and for locating specific information. Chapters cover “the homestead mentality,” “how to fund your homestead,” “first, find your land,” drinking water, fire and flood danger, building a home, tools, power, gardens, livestock, and so on, ending with “when it all grows wrong.” This last chapter chronicles his own home burning down, related to frozen water pipes and a too-hot stove fire resulting in a chimney fire.
