What are some good books for living the Agrarian/Rural lifestyle?
Brandon Evans
Zachary Campbell
bump you little nuggets
can't we get any farmer love here?
Nolan Taylor
Read the Ukrainian tales of Nikolai Gogol: lots of farmers, peasant villages, etc. Very comfy, but no tips on how to live as a rural peasant. Other than that, The Grapes of Wrath.
Chase Gray
Only small Hamlet society is based. The perfect mix between nomadic hunting and gathering and semisessile horticulture.
Living in simplified agrarian ecosystems will never be based.
Jace Howard
seconding russians, especially turgenev. also maybe walden? i haven't read it but seems applicable.
Robert Watson
what are some books for logical thinkers?
Jeremiah Rodriguez
Don't want this thread to die lads but I fear its doom inevitable.
I should have known the core demographic here is Urbanite.
Hudson Sullivan
Is there a book about how to correctly pack a pipe? I can't seem to do it correctly.
Andrew Butler
Weed or Tobacco?
Brandon Smith

if you wanted any actual guides for agrarian living let me know
Brody Walker
Redpill me on this book.
Thanks for suggestions m8.
Got pdf's for those guides?
Anthony White
That's where you're wrong, frindo. I would recommend Growth of the soil, although you probably know that one already
Cooper Young
Do you live in the countryside yourself?
Dylan Hall
Obviously Thoreau and Emerson. I don’t know of anything else
Austin Smith
You might want some place a little less snowy
Jaxon Nelson
Starts off rural but gets progressively more towny from generation to generation
Eli Nelson
Hardy’s a weird guy. He usually goes from scenes of rustic comfyness to harrowing tragedy.
Zachary Cox
Indeed.
Ivan Turgenev's collection Sketches from a Hunter's Album translated by Freeborn has the most lovely nature descriptions I've encountered
Connor Myers
Levin chapters in Anna Karenina are comfy countryside/farming
William Scott
I agree with your post.
OP, I would recommend Far From the Madding Crowd, although I suppose it leans towards livestock.
Nathaniel Butler
Very different being a farmer than being a landowner, user
Carson Kelly
Southern Agrarians- I'll Take my Stand, and Robert Penn Warren
Joshua Barnes
Growth of the Soil is on my list for the next book I want, any suggestion on the translation to English? I read Hamsun's Pan earlier and enjoy the beginning but was left with a bad taste in my mouth with the depressing sentiment when I expected it to not be so.
Isaac Jones

Lord.
Aiden Taylor
Sadly no. I'm Scandinavian, so I read it in Norwegian. If you want something more tangible, I would suggest the book 'The earth care manual'. It's one of the best permaculture books out there.
Brayden Cox
Ordered.
Why is the South so based?
Grayson Bell
In the bottom, pack it very lightly. In the middle, apply a bit more pressure. And at the top? You guessed it; pack it tightly. It takes a bit of practice, but you can always start over. You should be able to get air through, but with a bit of resistance.
James Peterson
Steinbeck.
Cannery row is my fav, but he does have rural California stories.
Jaxon Martinez
The Simpsons season 11, episode 5
Tyler Roberts
Made a thread asking people what they thought of this a few weeks back - nobody really seems to have read it, but I had been seeing it pop up here and there on Yea Forums. I've read Morton's thesis on urban infrastructure mining, plus his essays on sound, "earworms", which were both fascinating. Object-Oriented Ontology seems like a great transitional zone for reductionist Western modes of thought. We can break down objects and continue to use the framework of science, but always keeping multi-scale systems as our foremost concern; their nested functions and the ripples they send through the biosphere. At the same time, the gestalt nature of "objects" he seems to suggest leaves plenty of room for conceiving wholeness, and even for a more spiritual relation with nonhumans. What's your take on that stuff, and could you tell me a little about your experience with the book?
Good thread OP. Sowing Seeds in the Desert and Growing Food in a Hotter, Drier Climate by Masanobu Fukuoka and Gary Nabhan are both great. I'd also recommend LifePlace by Robert Thayer and Gaia's Garden by Bill Mollison.
Brayden Sanders
Virgil's Ecologues
Ryan Morgan
Tao Te Ching for the mindset.
Gardening for Dummies for easing into the practical part.
Nolan Baker
How do you live the Agrarian lifestyle when you have no money and live nowhere near the countryside?
Liam Clark
Leave the city, thank me later.
