Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
The Ultimate Guide to Homesteading is a practical guide with nitty-gritty details on everything a homesteader can do, step-by-step with hundreds of color illustrations and pen and ink sketches.
You can do it! This book will show you how to:
Make your own bread? Grow a garden all winter Make a solar oven Store food without electricity Raise a water buffalo Make fine linen from stinging nettle Make your own shampoo Deliver a baby
Yes, you, too, can be totally self-sufficient! This massive, full-color book answers all these questions and thousands more and includes checklists, diagrams, and instructions. All the information meets these 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 has been tried and tested--either by the author, the military, doctors, or other homesteaders.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 548-[564]) and index.
