Over 200,000 copies sold-fully updated! Dye your own wool, raise
chickens, make your own cheddar cheese, build a log cabin, and much
much more. Anyone who wants to learn basic living skills-the kind
employed by our forefathers-and adapt them for a better life in the
twenty-first century need look no further than this eminently
useful, full-color guide. Countless readers have turned to Back to
Basics for inspiration and instruction, escaping to an era before
power saws and fast-food restaurants and rediscovering the
pleasures and challenges of a healthier, greener, and more
self-sufficient lifestyle. Now newly updated, the hundreds of
projects, step-by-step sequences, photographs, charts, and
illustrations in Back to Basics will help you dye your own wool
with plant pigments, graft trees, raise chickens, craft a hutch
table with hand tools, and make treats such as blueberry peach jam
and cheddar cheese. The truly ambitious will find instructions on
how to build a log cabin or an adobe brick homestead. More than
just practical advice, this is also a book for dreamers-even if you
live in a city apartment, you will find your imagination sparked,
and there's no reason why you can't, for example, make a loom and
weave a rag rug. Complete with tips for old-fashioned fun (square
dancing calls, homemade toys, and kayaking tips), this may be the
most thorough book on voluntary simplicity available.
