Hm, if that ain't the Amish's Bible, then what?! 🤠
On a serious note: it looks like it'd be a very handy book to the self reliance folks.
Are you self reliant? Do you have a homestead?
I've been working a lot on self-sufficiency and survival skills. It's always good to know how to build your own tools... No. I'm well connected to farmers, but don't have an own farm.

Hm, and in how far are you actually able to handle yourself?

How exactly do you mean?

About 80% of the vegetables and 100% of the meat/fish we consume comes directly from our farmers. We also work for them to get things cheaper, sometimes even free, especially herbs, salats... We ourselves stopped making a garden, we have just flowers for the eyes and bees, because it wasn't worth it. Its always better to share work with others... In the spring, we collect a lot of things from nature and dry them for consumption throu the whole year... Greetings from Switzerland - the reason why we dont own anything. Too expensive and its not really yours...

Damn, that's a really smart move!
You work with and for the professionals, and get things for a reduced price -or even free!
I'm also more of a garden-for-the-bees-and insects type, since a vegetable garden can cause quite some work and headache's, I'll remember your take, solid!
