I've been reading this book, "Back to Basics," for the past several weeks and I can't get enough of it. It isn't a book that has in depth about all of its topics, but it does seem to have a topic chapter on just about everything that a back-to-the-wild family might need or want even. This week I made bread with one of their recipes (it was good) and next week I am going to try making my own cheese. I highly recommend buying a copy and keeping it on hand for all of those skills you might want to learn (as well as browsing it for new skills that you never knew you might want). The used copies on Amazon are REALLY cheap ($4) so I hope at least a few folks can get a copy before they get expensive. That's where I got mine.

Here's a link: http://www.amazon.com/Back-Basics-Readers-Digest-Editors/dp/0895779390/r...

The cheap copies are here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/0895770865/ref=lp_g_1/104-2786870-4401532?ie=UTF8&qid=1180540083&sr=8-2 

If you get one, please post and let everyone know if you think my recommendation was worthwhile!

Thanks,

Dom
