Reddit mentions of The Weekend Homesteader: A Twelve-Month Guide to Self-Sufficiency

I really liked the book by Anna Hess -- I'm not homesteading yet, but as I read the book I could really see how things fit together step by step. When I got to the end of the book, I actually started reading it again, and was blown away how you could just keep cycling through it and each time around (once per year) you could keep building.

There are lots of different methods, but when we do start, this is how I intend on approaching it. I'm planning on starting small, using that book as a rough guide of what to do (seasonally, what makes sense to tackle), and each year the different elements will probably be mostly the same, but the scope of the element will grow on what was done the past year.

The book is set up for each month, so for example, you could read it now (starting at the beginning to get the context of the whole picture) and then if you finish your house in February, you could open the book to March and start working on "March Stuff".
