Here’s some great self reliance articles I came into this week.

Are there any blogs you know of that I should be watching?

• Being Your own Man (Art Of Manliness) – Bart mentioned a different aspect of self reliance in his last post. This article follows that same sort of idea. It’s important to be true to yourself, and not a blind follower of anyone or anything else. Then you can quit relying on the evening news for your opinions and tv shows for your fashion advice…
• Urban Survival (The Survivalist Blog) – If you’re still an apartment dweller in the city when the worst happens, you’ll still need to be prepared. Here’s some good ideas.
• Gardening Video – A couple of tips from the folks at Square Foot Gardening.
• 7 Tips for Starting your Own Vegetable Garden (Get Rich Slowly) – Its a good time to start thinking about what you’re going to do with your garden next year.
• Credit Cards Can Pay You Money? (Get Rich Slowly) – It’s too bad money management is not taught in the home more often these days. There are a couple of banks that do help you learn, though. For instance, Ing Direct’s “We The Savers” program.
• Cooking without modern conveniences (Self Sustained Living) – To be prepared, this must be considered.
