Review Summary: Great Book Date: 2008-11-28
 
Details: I absolutely love this book! It is full of just about everything you need to know about anything you need to know about being self sufficient.
 
Review Summary: The Be All End All Date: 2008-11-22
 
Details: This is an excellent reference book for a person just starting out in the back to the land movement. It lets you know how much you can do with your land, reviews the pros and cons of different livestock, gives recipes for soap and the like, explains how to slaughter your own animals (if you so choose), and the like. We've made great use of this book while starting out, even on a lot as small as an acre. Nice candid tone through out. A wealth of knowledge worth more than the price.
 
Review Summary: Very accurately informative Date: 2008-11-18
 
Details: For someone who knew nothing of outdoor, independant living, I walked away from this book a wealthy, knowledgeable person after having read it. In a nutshell, please buy this book FIRST! You will find that after buying this book that you will need very few other books out in the market. This author addresses everything you need to know about various topics of outdoor, independant living, and if she doesn't have all the answers, she forwards you to other sources that will get you the specific info you need. This book is worth the money. I bought it to learn more about gardening, and came away learning so much more. This is a book that one MUST purchase as a staple in their book collection.
 
Review Summary: The How To Book of Country Living Date: 2008-11-16
 
Details: The Encyclopedia of Country Living

We have purchased twenty plus copies of this book each year for several years. It makes a wonderful gift for missionaries that are going to mission fields all over the world. It includes everything from how to milk a goat to almost anything you need to know, including numerous recipes. Feedback from missionaries has always been favorable. In addition, my wife finds it useful here at home. It's very handy for a homemaker.
 
Review Summary: Folksy, easy reading Date: 2008-10-26
