Manual of Practical Homesteading

[Kelly913]

I didn't find this book as useful as other homesteading books I've read.  Maybe it's his style.  What I did find interesting is the version I'm reading is copyrighted in 1975 and they had been homesteading for 10 years prior to writing the book.  He makes a statement that they moved out of the "rat race" because of all the consumerism.  That was as early as 1965, or maybe even before that!  I found that very revealing, that even then people thought we were a nation of consumers, and how much worse is it now??

I recommend you borrow this before buying!
