Awesome.
The only gripe I have is that I don't like square pointy things in ziplock bags.
This mold looks perfect though :)
My favorite so far is probably The Self-Sufficient Life and How to Live It by John Seymour:
http://www.amazon.com/Self-Sufficient-Life-How-Live/dp/0756654505/ref=pd_sim_14_1?ie=UTF8&dpID=61t6SRQzuNL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR129%2C160_&refRID=19QK02D2JDVH1815J35Y
I've also enjoyed The Encyclopedia of Country Living by Carla Emery:
http://www.amazon.com/Encyclopedia-Country-Living-40th-Anniversary/dp/1570618402/ref=pd_bxgy_14_img_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=029NTQA9FBYZB5Z7SDMF
Some of the Storey's Guide books have also been helpful to becoming more self-sufficient (Storey's Guide to Raising Rabbits, for example). I'm always on the lookout for others! <3
good starting point.
I've really enjoyed this book
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Grow-Your-Own-Drugs-Fantastically/dp/0007307136
this is also good

Well, plastic or not, I was turned onto this one by the researchers at my wife's workplace. It's great and makes just enough for one or two people for a week.
Doesn't get that hot and I cannot tell you how much easier a yogurt maker makes the process.
I have a friend who's really happy with the Hario mini for his espresso machine.
Another idea for a source of cool water...I have this book, Handy Farm Devices, written in 1909. In it there is a design for an ice house (14'X14' structure, 2 feet of sawdust for insulation, ventilation at the top and drainage at the bottom). You fill the ice house with ice and there is an adjacent room where the farmer stores all his milk... the ice melts slowly all summer, and the cool water runs through pipes in the milk house, keeping it cool.
This one, I'd assume? Looks interesting, thanks!
John Seymour has pretty good ideas for one acre and five acre homesteads, and this book is what made my wife and I take the leap...

I am using the arduino to control everything that is controlled, including to monitor temp and control the turner timer.
Humidity is definitely controllable as long as I can find/build something that can put out enough moisture to raise the humidity - but also be turned off equally as effectively. Currently I'm planning on using a ultrasonic mister. (https://www.amazon.com/AGPtek-Aluminum-Fountain-Machine-Atomizer/dp/B00P91ZFPA) I'll post again to show the results of that.
I have well-worn and much treasured copy of The Complete Book of Self Sufficiency dating from the 70's. I wonder how much it has changed, and if I will ever get a chance to butcher a pig.
Book:
"Living on the Earth" (Amazon source below)
http://www.amazon.com/Living-Earth-Celebrations-Warnings-Harvested/dp/0394710568/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1290016150&amp;sr=1-1
It is the Best $ you will spend in the subject.
The leek is also a great knife.
Some good books for reference.

Check out Eliot Coleman's books on winter gardening, particularly this one. He runs a market garden in Maine, and successfully grows and markets vegetables in the winter. I don't have a cold greenhouse yet, but I'm planning one.
If you grow a lot of veggies in the summer, you can do a lot of preserving in the fall to get you through. Beans are easy to dry. I have this book and have built a root cellar. And I've purchased a pressure canner and preserve all sorts of stuff.
Good book, I have it in its two earlier versions (Complete Book of Self-Sufficiency/New Complete Book of Self-Sufficiency).
I've found Food for Free by Richard Mabey useful, but again its UK-centric.
Black Diamond Revolt. It comes with rechargeable batteries. Recharges via a USB cable. Can also be used with regular batteries. https://www.amazon.com/Black-Diamond-ReVolt-Headlamp-Titanium/dp/B00LAEZEN8/ref=sr_1_sc_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1483099577&amp;sr=8-1-spell&amp;keywords=black+diamond+revoltr
This book has a ton of info on a wide range of topics:
