I haven't read it yet, I don't know if its any good, but I found it at Barnes & Noble for $10, so I thought I'd pass that bit of info along. Its normally $30. It has sections on beekeeping, canning and preserving, cheese making, disaster preparedness, fermenting, growing vegetables, keeping chickens, raising livestock, and soap making.

I'll let you all know how it is after I get into it.

on phone now but will look for it asap. Express files is what I use to find pdf files. If anyone finds pdf info put it on the thread I started. I have sat in BAM and looked through that book. It is a great book but to me not worth $30. 10 Is a deal. I would pay that.

I've went thru it before. Lots of information in it. But i have several books that touch to some degree or other on most all the topics covered. So I never picked it up. It does look promising.

That isn't the link I wanted. But, PM me your e-mail and I'll send the pdf, if your e-mail will take it; its about 37 Mb.

I've tried Zipping the file but I can't get it down to an e-mail size. It is just too big. 25Mb is the limit on my yahoo and gmail accounts. If anybody has any suggestions I'm open to them.

lol. I'm kinda glad to see the discussion going this direction. I didn't own that book 12 hours before I sold it to a coworker who wanted a copy. Mine worked :D
