Review: Wow! This is comprehensive! - I was pleasantly surprised when I opened this book! If you are a DIY person, or have a large property with animals and a garden, this will get you through times when money is tight but fixing and creating needs are plenty. I'm in my 70s so I didn't expect to be surprised by the content. I have lived on farmsteads and in rural communities and I learned a lot from my parents about "making do" because they grew up in the Great Depression. My Dad's family was very poor but the kids didn't know because they lived on a farm and ate well. Thay also traded milk, eggs and such. My mom's family was extremely impacted. Grandpa had to leave the family, trying to find work. Grandma often received her neighbor's roast pan drippings to make gravy for her family. Thay really struggled. So, I wanted to have tools in case we had to deal with similar finances. Most of the things in this book are meant for high quality purposes, using what nature provides. If you are applying for the television program, Survivor, get this first! ;) Everything in this book is useful. It was well illustrated and contains pictures with extensive directions. I found things that I never could have imagined, but I would try them, if necessary. And I'll be glad I bought this book! I actually couldn't put it down!
Review: EXCELLENT Detailed Instructional Book - I ordered the hardback book because, well, I wanted it. Lol It's FULL of everything I could ever want to know about "how to" and DIY on the subject of Back To Basics. It covers so many subjects I can't list them all here, with thorough details, instructions, illustrations, and pics. The subjects range from how to build your own house; beekeeping; raising meat, milk animals; soap making; quilting; and building furniture. So very interesting and helpful. Well written and presented, and easy to understand. Excellent instructional book for those who enjoy diy's or just simple/smart common sence knowledge on self-reliance. Brilliant.

My husband and I have bought many books like this, and this is our favorite hands down.
