Lastly, (thanks for putting up with all of my "Have you reads...") has anyone read "Back to Basics: A Complete Guide to Traditional Skills"? Here is the amazon link to it: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1602392331/rs12-20

Thirty years ago I read it and then I have purchased and given as gifts close to 20 in the years since.

I am the first generation of my family to grow up on the grid eating out of the super market. I hope to be the last.

I have (or had) a copy of an earlier edition.  It's a good book, pretty basic, good for giving ideas to beginners.

I love that book. It breezes over a lot of material with nothing too in depth... just enough to get one interested in learning more, it's what got me interested in homesteading.

I am putting together a book/dvd/magazine page for Paul, and to save him some time from making a (short paragraph) written review of everything, I figured I'd ask permie folks to write "what Paul would say" in each thread something is talked about.

So what would Paul say about Back to Basics?
