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.
