The Lost Ways book

Posted by uddane@reddit | preppers | View on Reddit | 8 comments

I saw an ad for a book titled ‘The Lost Ways’ on tv the other night. I’m wondering if anyone has heard of it and what their thoughts were. It’s kind of pricey, so I was wondering if anyone knows anything about it.

Get the Fox Fire books. They're a lot more in-depth plus there's stories, recipes, music, building plans and other fun stuff in there. They're also a lot more applicable to real world situations. There's a bunch of them. The entire set is pricey, but it's fun hunting them down in the wild of thrift stores, used books stores and yard sales.

It is just basic stuff you either learned as a kid or didn't.

And most of the stuff is pulled from various homesteading blogs.

Wow! I’ve got a hard cover copy that I bought years ago. Current price is about $50? There’s no way I paid anything close to that much for mine.

It’s an awesome addition to your preparedness library, along with the Foxfire Books, Where There Is No Doctor/Dentist, etc.

I’ll bet you can find a copy for far less cash if you keep looking. Electronic copy in the meantime.
