Do it all book!!

This is a required read for anyone wanting to get back to the Country. It is chock full of information on the old ways of doing things.

My bible of family survival techniques

I first read Carla's book in the 70's when I married a part-time farmer. She helped this city girl learn how to manage a large garden, livestock, preserving, milking,and storing the surplus. Her humorous anecdotes about family also helped while raising my children. I recently purchased a new book for myself and my nephew. He had returned from a 2 year stint in the peacecorp in Africa and had an interest in living a more basic life back home. I would recommend this book for anyone interested in getting back, not to a simple life, but to a meaningful, full life!

The encyclopedia of Country Living

Wow!! full of info, ideas, almost overwhelming! I keep it on my coffee table!

WOW!! SO MANY TOPICS, VERY WELL EXPLAINED!

This is truly a great book! An excellent resource for those of us who like the idea of living "off the grid" and being self-reliant. Covering everything from births at home to making breads from your own home-grown grains, this is a practical reference that is easy to read and very down to earth. Lots of information, but in a easy-to-follow casual style which makes it very easy to apply the knowledge yourself and get a jump on a homesteader's life. Even if you aren't interested in homesteading, the country skills she teaches are practical in emergency situations or during a loss of power. And it is just plain interesting to read!

Survival

This book should be given to every newly wed couple. Its one of the those books you would grab to take off the shelf to run out the door in a major disaster. Carla just keeps adding more. I have seen one of her original self produced hand bound beginnings, and this has truly come along way.
Right up there with the firefox but in a more condensed version.
