If you understand the world today and how everyone wants to control everyone else this book is gold. It gets valuable information you can use off the net and into hard copy format. Because with all information on the net who controls the net controls the information. The quality of the book appears to be very good and I have written, designed and self published two books myself that are selling well. Yes I would have liked a larger format maybe but still. I was under the impression that the pictures were all going to be black and white.... not so!!! Lots of great color shots. Pretending that the net is going to always be there for information is a fools move. Considering most people these days could not even light a camp fire this book could be a godsend. For the cost I recommend tossing one in your emergency supply stash. Read full review

ESSENTIAL Basic Survival Skills that served our ancestors thru out History , even early into the last century, esp. here in the U.S., each given in the context of its History & Culture; makes for engaging, simple, easy to digest reading & learning of very *useful* info. This version is not only handsome, but "built to survive the real world" DURABLE; hard, waterproof cover, very tightly knit pages & reinforced spine, convenient ribbon bookmark, in a very handy/portable size, UNLIKE the 12"x 9" paperback I've heard has only black & white pics/illustrations, albeit it comes w/ 3 free download books/booklets; however, $20-maybe $30 would be alot more reasonable pricing...

The items in this book comprise how people survived before modern conveniences and store bought food, clothes and laundry. Like preserving meat with lard. Doing laundry without a machine. Kitchens and homes before electricity and refrigeration and running hot or cold water or flush toilets. My great grandmother lived to 102 from 1855 to 1957. She could tell you about Abraham Lincoln as President. I was 7 when she passed. One of my mom's chores every day was filling the kerosene lamps for light at night. I now collect such lamps. And bringing buckets of water into the house. Or going to the beach to collect dinner, clams, oysters, fish, crab, lobster and more. This book will tell you how to do all these things and. Wash clothes on the rocks in the stream. Wow. Engaging. Let's hope we won't have to work this hard. All good to know. Great book. Extensive. Detailed. Worth it's weight in gold if we get stuck off grid or choose it as a lifestyle. Lots of recipes. Beautifully hard bound. A classic that belongs in every library no matter how big or small.Read full review

I bought this for my boyfriend, who happened to be a boy scout in his younger years. Since I bought it, he can't stop ranting and raving over it. He'll talk to me or anyone within earshot for hours on end about the things he reads from it, so I guess you could say that he definitely loves the book, best birthday gift yet!

From the title and design of the hard cover to the pages that look like they are out of the 1800's this book draws in the reader. Page after page you are reminded of a time long gone with a glimpse into the self sustaining life of the pioneers. And when you're finished with deer hunting basics don't worry. Turn the page and learn how to make charcoal so you can grill your catch. Every chapter teaches you something you never thought you needed to know. Great job. I even bought a copy for my brother in Pennsylvania and he agreed with me.
