I let my Freak Flag fly every day, LOL! Those of us that can grow our own food and preserve it, save seeds for the next crop, stitch up a wound and bake bread from scratch are going to RULE once TSHTF.

I am totally looking forward to my Wise Woman Years, and you should, too! ;)

I had a really good book on that, and can not find it anywhere. It wasn’t too complicated, and didn’t have a lot of fluffy foo foo editorial either.

Bought a couple of others that I hate. It’s gotta be here somewhere... maybe I’ll run across it as we go through stuff for the “shed”.

I highly recommend the book "Making Plant Medicine" by Richo Cech. Lots of herbal books will tell you what plant to use when, but this is one of the few that goes into great detail about the how.

The same guy has also written several books on growing medicinal herbs, and is the owner of "Strictly Medicinal Seeds" (formerly "Horizon Herbs"), which has the most extensive range of medicinal herb seeds for sale that I've ever seen!
