Fiction that helped you get started. I had started this before, what books, TV shows, or movies helped you get started?

For me Alas Bablon, Swiss family Robinson, out of ashes series.

I read both of them in grade school.

Bradford Angier has written numerous books I read about living in British Columbia wilderness. One Acre and Security comes to mind. Also Grow It by Richard Lang(?) Rascal by Sterling North...though none of these are fiction. I also read My Side of the Mountain, and was inspired by such. Hatchet by Gary Paulsen is a good read especially for kids who have survivalist fantasies. Swiss Family Robinson is good, too. I guess most of my homesteading aspirations weere inspired by non-fiction such as Mother Earth News magazine, The Last Whole Earth catalogue, Handmade Houses, Build it Yourself, Better, Reader's Digest Guide to Gardening, Be Your Own Country Doctor, etc.
