I recently saw a message on (I think!) this Group asking whether anyone knew of web sites devoted to all aspects of self-sufficiency.
The site to check out is The Get-A-Life Index. It's at
There are hundreds of references-- Not only links to web sites, but also books and articles and other information
The site is organized into categories and sub-categories including Food (gardening, recipes, storage, etc.); Alternative Medicine; House-building, Homesteading; Energy (solar, wind, etc.); Work (starting your own business or changing jobs/careers), etc.
