Favorite Homesteading Book, "BACK TO BASICS"

Lots of my readers have asked if I have a favorite book that shows you how to live a simple homestead sort of life. I do have one. It's a book that has lots of good information with instructions on how to get back to basics. Actually that is the title of the book, " Back to Basics" published by Readers Digest quite a while ago. There are several copies of the book for sale on eBay right now. It helps you learn to do the things our ancestors did.

It covers things like how to buy your land, all the way through things like building barns, caring for livestock, making cheese, spinning, weaving, cutting wood, heating with wood and much more. I have used and still do use this book as a reference book many times in our nearly 2 decades of homestead life.
