My parents had this book, and they just gave it to me. I am glad to have it. There is a lot of info in here. I started to print a bunch of articles from the net, but this takes care of a whole bunch of them. This is an older edition of the book. That means there are newer editions of course. This one is a little cheaper.
Couple of highlights
structure construction (log adobe
firplace construction
basic wood working
livestock raising butchering skinning etc.
gardening
soap making
I cannot possibly remember all of the items in the book, so it is good to have a reference. It is good to have a reference of how to do stuff our forefathers did without Walmarts and electricity.
