I’ll have second that. I have read through that book twice, and keep it handy next to the computer. I am always thinking of something that I need it to refresh my memory.

I also really enjoy the book : “Back to Basics - a complete guide to Traditional Skills”. It goes beyond pantry and recipes to gardening, energy, preserving, homesteading etc.

First frost of the year and a few weeks early outside the Bender Bungalow…

And by afternoon it had warmed up a bit…

(The actual temp was 68)

Looking west toward the Pacific Ocean which is about 2 miles away…

Elevation here is about 200 feet well out of the Tsunami Zone. We got about 85% of those posts emptied and stored away this afternoon...

Thanks for confirmation of Marcella’s urging the importance to read the book I ordered.

Noting your suggestion to get the “Back to Basics - etc.” I have a book entitled “Back to Basics” but am not sure if it is the same one you are referencing. Who is the author of it? Thanks!

I looked up the title given in post 50 on Amazon,

http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=sr_pg_1?rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3ABack+to+Basics+-+a+complete+guide+to+Traditional+Skills&keywords=Back+to+Basics+-+a+complete+guide+to+Traditional+Skills&ie=UTF8&qid=1385314013

Marcella, is this the book you were referring to? I’ll be very surprised if it is, but in any case, I’d like to know.

I can tell you it is not the one I have. I can’t find the one I have at this moment, but I do not have this particular book. Thanks for the tip, Greeneyes. Based on the Amazon reviews and your own recommendation I will certainly consider obtaining this one.

I can’t begin to thank both of you enough for all the information and tips you both have been giving me!
