Product Description

Can you make your own bread? Homeschool your kids? Grow a garden all winter? What can you use instead of toilet paper? What if the power was out for a month? What if the grocery store closed? Can you make a solar oven? A food storage? Raise a water buffalo? Make fine linen from stinging nettle? Is it possible to be totally self-sufficient? This book answers all these questions. All of the information included had to meet this criteria: It is something that ANYONE can do, without special training. It can be done with relatively few supplies, or with stuff you can make yourself. It came from a proven source of information (the military, real homesteaders, 19th c. books, doctors, etc.) This book is not a storybook or a cookbook. It is a practical guide with nitty gritty details on everything a homesteader can do, step-by-step with hundreds of illustrations. And you can do it! This book can help.

thorough overview
I wish I had stumbled on this book prior to ordering several others. It truely is very broad based and covers quite a few of the subjects near and dear to the modern homesteader's life. I figure I could have saved $100.00 at least!Highly recommended.

Very good introductory book on the history and basics of homesteading
Deliberate Life: The Ultimate Homesteading Guide by Nicole Faires is a great book for anyone wanting to "study up" on the history of homesteading and get some basic ideas on what's involved in living this lifestyle. While not as detailed or in depth as the TODAY'S HOMESTEAD series of books,Today's Homestead: Volume I, it holds it's own as a history and basic guidebook all in one volume. A nice addition to the homestead library.
