"When they said complete, they meant itThis book includes everything from how to choose a suitable piece of property for a homestead, to cutting down trees to make your own log cabin, to gardening and preserving the harvest."

"I was looking for a good reference book on how to do things we've forgotten in this digital look-it-up age. This is perfect. It has everything in it! From installing solar panels to how to skin a rabbit. It doesn't matter what page you flip to, there's something interesting to read/learn. Highly recommend."

"This book is exactly what I was looking for. I wanted a book with a wide range of information that a pioneer person would find very useful. This book is loaded with pictures and diagrams. It is better and more complete than I anticipated."

"I am on overload with all the information contained in this book. It's a wonderful reference guide for everything from building a house to making crafts and planning and growing a garden."

"Amazing book for any homesteader or anyone who's just interested in learning new skills!"

"This is the classic book on traditional skills, crafts, and homesteading. An hour with this book will have you making plans to find your own country plot to build your farm."
