Country Wisdom & Know-How

This is a great resource for country living. We bought it for our son-in-law and then ordered another one for ourselves. And we live on the same property! But this is one worth having close at hand.

This is a very thorough and concise book. Everything that I want to know about butchering chickens, building a rock wall, and cleaning squirrel was in there. It is wonderful.

This book has a little bit of everything. I am young and trying to start off on my own in the country. I refer to this book often. Great gardening section and animal tips.Use this as one of your main reference materials.

There is an insane amount of valuable information in this book, the only reason I'm giving 4 and not 5 stars is that I think the layout could be better (this is a gigantic book made out of recycled paper with a softcover, which makes it very floppy). Otherwise this is a great thing to have in the house, although I'd suggest getting When Technology Fails: A Manual for Self-Reliance and Planetary Survival as well.

This book has everything you need to know on how to survive on a farm. Do it yourself type of information. Helps out a lot to see and do things that don't come from a store. A healthy way of life and understanding.
