The Self Sufficient Life and How to Live It is the only book that
teaches all the skills needed to live independently in harmony with the
land harnessing natural forms of energy, raising crops and keeping
livestock, preserving foodstuffs, making beer and wine, basketry,
carpentry, weaving, and much more. Our 2003 edition included 150 new
full-color illustrations and a special section in which John Seymour,
the father of the back to basics movement, explains the philosophy of
self-sufficiency and its power to transform lives and create
communities. More relevant than ever in our high-tech world, The Self
Sufficient Life and How to Live It is the ultimate practical guide for
realists and dreamers alike.
