Rural homesteaders and urban apartment-dwellers alike will find a mother lode of practical information packed into this completely revised and updated edition of the ultimate how-to handbook for all generations. A selective compendium of public-domain documents, it brings together in one volume a wealth of knowledge and useful instruction on just about every imaginable aspect of self-sufficiency--from building a dwelling and growing food to raising children, using tools of all kinds, and, yes, getting more mileage out of your car. Readers will learn how to: build a greenhouse; administer first aid; stock an emergency shelter; survive in the wilderness, at sea, and in the city; plant, buy farmland; grow plants indoors and out; read architect's drawings; care for household pets; repair clothing; hunt, trap, and fish; repair a screen or leaking faucet; butcher and store big-game kill; relieve allergy symptoms; control insects; stay safe during storms and floods; can and freeze fruits and vegetables; take your own blood pressure; and much, much more Praise for a previous edition: "How we have survived this long without this book], I don't know. The concept is brilliant and simple. . . . If we had lived in a rural community a century ago, much of the knowledge gathered here would have been in our bones."--Harper's Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

This book covers First Aid, Survival, Health, Food and Nutrition, Farm and Home, Tools, and Construction.
The First Aid section is right up front, so emergencies start at page 1. The health section covers many common diseases. The food and nutrition has page after page of nutrition information for most any food I could think of. Farm and home covers a lot of gardening, sewing, and general maintenance issues. The Tools and Construction are a great starting point for DIY building.
All and all, a handy book to have laying around. This book is going to be the first place I 'search' for many topics. ( )
