52 Homestead Skills

Almost all the skills are skills that I already do, or want to learn. Nice job.

Love the projects and the author's sense of humor.

Wasn't much there. I was hoping for details and they were lacking.

Not what I was looking for. I did not enjoy the book.

A lot of common sense stuff but also, "why didn't I think of this " too!

I bought this book because I am planning to retire to a twenty six acre farm in about five years and I thought I would find it helpful to get some advise from someone who had done the same. I found the book to be well written, the information well presented and over all and enjoyable read. Not all of the skills need to be learned in the order presented and some may not be relevant to your unique situation but generally most are completely relevant to new off the grid homesteaders. I recommend this book to anyone interested in starting a small farm or just wanting to increase their self sustaining skill set.

This book was a totally delightful read! Teaching homesteading skills with an honest been there, done that, learned something and survived it sense of humor! She did an AWESOME JOB with this book. I hope she will do a Volume 2 with some more of the skills she's learned that's sprinkled with down to earth humor!! I would snap it up in a heartbeat!!

I was pleasantly surprised with this book. I was expecting a matter of fact book, yet what I received was a wonderful narrative of a real person learning how to master homesteading. The book is funny, honest and informative. It is now my favorite book.
