This book is for the serious homesteader who is living off the land. Many of the projects would be great ones to do for those with building experience and a nice expanse of land.

There weren't many applications for those living on small farms or for those who want to lead a more sustainable life, but on a much smaller scale.

All the photos were in black and white with some of them being of marginal quality.

Super wholesome and really interesting. A lot of the techniques and language was over my head but I loved how people's characters come out as they talk about their projects
