## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ EXCELLENT Detailed Instructional Book
*by C***L on December 2, 2024*

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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Comprehensive
*by A***S on September 22, 2025*

This book is my attempt at “prepping” haha. Although, to do a really good job I’d have to make sure I have a certain amount of supplies that this book uses. My kids are quite small and I look forward to building some homesteading skills alongside them. I think it’s a shame most people, myself included, don’t have the skills our great-grandparents did (or maybe great-great-great…) I can cook from scratch and do basic sewing so that’s a start!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Offline Wisdom in Tough Times - A Good Introduction to Simpler Ways of Living
*by S***N on September 2, 2025*

This book is a welcome addition to my growing library of homesteading and "the old ways" of doing things. I first discovered this book around 2010 or so from the local library (at that time, this would have been the 3rd edition). There are many familiar illustrations, but the author has also added updated photos for some portions, plus included modern conveniences a homesteader may still rely on, such as the internet, when running their household or business. This latest update was in 2014, and yes, I would say that the real estate market has changed so much, making it difficult to find affordable farmland or that cabin in the woods. But it is not impossible.The book is divided into categories: Shelter, Energy, Raising Food, Preserving Food, Home Crafts, and Recreation. While different activities are illustrated or contain step-by-step instruction, I would still consider this book an introduction to these aspects of homesteading or simple living. My husband and I are enjoying reading it and letting it spark conversation for our current pantry preparedness as well as future homesteading plans.
