Review: Well written, concise and informative, invaluable to off grid or subsistence living - I love this book, it covers so many concepts for living conscientiously and sustainably. If you have a small holding, land, or a desire to move to a subsistence life style or off grid, this book is your go to starting point. Covering a range of concepts, from growing food and keeping animals through to building and energy production. It has practical advice that is easy to follow and well written, it’s quite concise but doesn’t make assumptions about the readers knowledge, explaining topics and the importance of key processes without being condescending. Plenty of pictures are used to illustrate the various topics, processes and designs that are available. If I was ever stuck on a dessert island, this would be the book for me! Review: Incredible book, full of inspiration - My husband and I read this together over the course of almost a year, sitting at the breakfast bar and dreaming about our future self-sufficient life. We finished the final chapter just 2 weeks before moving onto a small piece of land in rural Italy, and I know I’ll be hearing John’s advice in my head as we take on every new challenge. What an inspiration and so necessary for our modern lives. I especially loved the practical advice and realistic approach - it’s certainly not a lecture on the ‘one way’ to do things, but shows how anyone can make small steps towards a more healthy, sustainable and fulfilling life, even if you live in a flat in the city. Just wonderful. ## Features - Warning:Not suitable for children under 3 years.
