How to Do Things: A Timeless Guide to a Simpler Life

Thank you to Netgalley and Chronicle Books for providing me with a copy of this in exchange for my honest review.

There seems to be a resurgence in a desire to acquire basic living knowledge and techniques. Somewhere along the industrial revolution in the twentieth century and with people leaving farm life for larger cities in droves we have lost necessary and vital knowledge that is usually passed down from one generation to the next. That is why books like this are essential and becoming ever more popular.

This book is a reissue of a 100-year-old classic. Perfect for homesteaders or anyone with that little bit self-reliance desire hidden inside them. Is it everything you need to be a homesteader? No. Is it still fun and useful? Yes. One caveat, this book may be along the lines of more nostalgic on some things. There have been quite a few advances in homesteading since it's initial release. However, it is still pertinent and will give you a great base to start building your homesteading knowledge. I recommend.
