About this product

Product Information

Over 100,000 sold! Now newly revised and up to date, with over 2,000 color photographs and illustrations. 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. 2,000 color photos, 200 b/w illustrations.

    An excellent all around basic 'traditional skills' book

    So many topics covered, from how to build a home and barn, choosing and caring for livestock, raising, preserving & preparing food, soap & candle making... It's just an excellent basic book with lots of diagrams and pictures.

    Worth it.

    It's not the edition that I wanted, it has more in it, but this one is a great substitute. It still has most everything I need in it and then some. The book is in perfect shape, well worth the price, and it got here several days early. Good product, great service. Thanks

    Back to Basics

    You know, if you've ever thought something like "If society ever fell, and I could only have one book..." then this is the book for you. It has comprehensive instructions for, well, just about everything a person needs to be able to survive in your average North American environment. Even if you just use it for some basic gardening tips, its worth it. Absolutely one of the best books I've ever had.

    Back to Basics...it is a fantastic ALL in ONE guide

    I have browsed through this book and found it to be very specific, easy to read and step by step with GREAT PICTURES!!! This is without question a must have book for ANYONE wishing to homestead, husbandry-type lifestyle, or get out in the county area to GET SELF SUFFICIENT. This book contains everything that your great grandfather would have taught you from the mailbox all the way through the field and into your dresser drawers. IT IS THE WHOLE ONE FAMILY FARM IN ONE BOOK.
