The Ultimate Guide to Homesteading: An Encyclopedia of Independent Living (The Ultimate Guides)
Everything you ever wanted to know about self-reliance, preparedness, survival, and sustainable homesteading in one simple guide.
Can you make your own bread (sans bread machine)? Grow a garden all winter? What can you use instead of toilet paper? What if the power went out for a month? What if the grocery store closed? Can you 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? Is it possible to be totally self-sufficient? This massive, full-color book answers all these questions and thousands more and includes checklists, diagrams, and instructions on how to buy a sheep.All of the information included 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.
The Ultimate Guide to Homesteading is not a storybook or a cookbook. It 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 can help. 200 color and 200 black-and-white illustrations
Customer Reviews:
A most excellent homesteading book!
By Artistic_Lady "addicted2books2" - March 9, 2011I just received this book yesterday aftering waiting for a couple of months for it to come from the publishers. Worth the wait! At first glance what you will notice is how beautiful it is, with hundreds of full color photos throughout, and wonderdul hand drawn illustrations. When you turn to the table of contents you will find seven chapters:
1. What is Homesteading? (history, intentional community, equipment needed, food storage, evaluating and buying your land, designing your homestead, cycles of work, and chemicals & toxins)
2. The Basics (math & money, tractors & trucks, auto maintenance, water, waste, primitive heat & light, modern convenience & electricity)
3. Building Shelter for Man & Animal (temporary & nomadic shelter, construction skills & making lumber, builing a house from available materials, building a safe barn & fence)
4. Horses and Other Animals (animal basics & health, buthering & animal burial, draft horse care, horse... read more
Mediocre at Best.
By J. Sawyer - April 16, 2011First of all, this book is not what I consider an encyclopedia. It does contain an index and brief glossary, but it is organized into chapters, individual sections, categories, and subcategories, rather than an alphabetical series of topics. Considering the wealth of information the author tried to cover, I understand why it was organized in this manner, but it does not necessarily make the book more convenient. A very well-designed and inclusive index would have nullified this problem, but the index is not quite adequate.
Each chapter is denoted with a broad header (i.e., "The Basics") and then broken down into broad topics, each given an individual title (i.e., "Modern Convenience and Electricity"), but at that point the topics are further broken down into categories and subcategories using a question and answer format. I would much have preferred simple titles for each topic and subtopic, which would have made skimming a section much easier. Use of the index could... read more
Great basics
By C. Delaney "Morgaine" - April 5, 2011I love this book and wish I'd had it 30 years ago when I began trying to learn all this stuff! If you are considering homesteading, wondering how to create community, or just want to reduce your impact in the world, you will find this book very helpful. It will not make you an expert on any subject. It will give you an idea of what you can do, and what you need to do, and what you will need to learn to make your dreams happen. These days the internet can help you access any information you need, but what information do you need? This book will help you. How much food do you need to put away for a year per person? How can you preserve your own food? How do you take care of chickens, geese, rabbits, goats, sheep, cows, or horses? How to sew, knit. How to homeschool. Basic first aid. basic health care. first aid supplies. work with wood, work with iron. etc., etc., etc. This is your starting point, where you take it is up to you.
