For a website, wiki or blog forum, and as a category for organizing books—

Is there a category or meta-category that includes homesteading, prepping, survival skills, outdoorsmanship, and off-grid living?

This could either be a single word or a phrase.

Sample sentence: "I have organized my books by category. [My word] is my category for homesteading, prepping, survival skills, outdoorsmanship and off-grid living."

  • I like frontiersmanship. The problem with outdoor activities is I usually associate that word with sports and recreation. Oct 24, 2015 at 21:53

Most of those refer to self-sufficiency.

Self-sufficiency (also called self-containment) is the state of not requiring any aid, support, or interaction, for survival; it is therefore a type of personal or collective autonomy.

    But in the US "independent living" means being in "senior housing" that is a hair short of a "nursing home".
