<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Rediscover the pleasures and challenges of a healthier, greener, and more self-sufficient...<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Anyone who wants to learn basic living skills--the kind employed by our forefathers--need look no further than this eminently useful, full-color guide. Dye your own wool, raise chickens, weave a rug, make jam and cheese, and much, much more!</b> <p/>With hundreds of projects, step-by-step sequences, photographs, charts, and illustrations, <i>The Back to Basics Handbook</i> 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. <p/>The truly ambitious will find instructions on how to build a log cabin or an adobe brick homestead. <p/>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 is the ultimate concise guide to voluntary simplicity.
