Summary

Thriving on the Edge: Bridging the Gap Between Preppers and Permaculturists What if the world doesn't end in a blaze, but in a slow unraveling? What if the systems you rely on just... stop working? This book isn't a manifesto for doomsday. It's a blueprint for living well no matter what comes next. Drawn from a decade of daily reflections written during National Preparedness Month, *Thriving on the Edge* invites you into the life of a woman who's raised kids, grown food, ditched the sugar, questioned everything, and built a community-not a stockpile. With humor, grit, and hard-won wisdom, Nancy Calafati walks the line between personal liberty and collective resilience. She's been called a prepper, a permaculturist, a homesteader... and occasionally, just plain batshit. That's fine. She turned it into a brand. Whether you're raising chickens, saving seeds, or just trying to make sense of the headlines, this book will help you stop prepping for the worst and start living for the better.
