Everything You Need to Know to Live Off the Land - Country Wisdom & Know-How

Country Wisdom has a wealth of information on homesteading. I have plenty of homesteading books, including Carla Emery's encyclopedia. I still came away with many new ideas from reading this book, such as mounting nest boxes to the outside wall of the coop. The font is small, and you might want a pair of reading glass if you're going to study a few pages of it.

I purchased this as a Christmas present... along with Thrive in the Wilderness...for my father. The book itself is huge...almost commical.... but a good conversation starter....tiny print... so he will have to be wearing his reading glasses and have his magnify glass for sure. As far as utilitzing the information... to early to tell... but a very cute book and very resonably priced.

This book is so fun! Really, it seems like everything that you would need to know to live in the wilderness, off the grid or whatever. If you are interested in homesteading, you need to check out this book!

This book was recommended by a friend of mine. Used when I need to know how to do thing myself on the back yard garden or how to build a chicken coop.
It is nice just to have this book on the shelf.

This was one of 4 books that I purchased... Wow.. didn't know how much info was in these. Very good book. So much info to read up on... Recommend it to everyone if you would like to know more about living off the land.

In one word... AWESOME! This is PACKED with great info and "how to" items. This is a MUST for anyone completing their library for survival, prepping, or homesteading. Thanks for such a great book!!

lots of bits of info on just about everything, almost evey thing in it is how to build it yourslef so you dont have to buy something, has lots of recipes, and lost arts in it.

This book is awesome! So full of great information! The only problem is that it's so huge that the paperback format makes it floppy and cumbersome to read. I'd definitely recommend ordering in hardcover.

This book is packed full of information. It covers almost every topic I can think of. I would consider this book a necessity. The only downside to this book is the large size, small print, and I think the paper is a little thin, but for 13 bucks it was ell worth the money and everyone who looked through my book wrote down the info so they could order one. I have zero regret buying this book.

Packed with great information but the lettering is so light and small you need a magnifier or bifocals to read it. I understand how that might have happened because if the lettering were normal size and properly illustrated with nice photos the book would weigh 20 pounds.

My daughter is really into reading about homesteading, and hopes to eventually find her own little slice of heaven. This is an excellent book, with lots of information. Although it's a very large book- which I wasn't expecting (approx. 11x17 soft cover), I do give it a good rating, because it's the information that counts.
