One day in the future, without electric power, books may be the new internet. A wealth of knowledge can be held in your hands, transported easily and not need recharging. Make sure to stock up on taper candles and holders, as they provide the reading light for hours.

Take a camping trip this summer and focus on FORAGE areas!

Foraging books are often region specific and vegetation can vary greatly in the huge Golden State.
