Jerry Mack Johnson's book is the perfect companion for homesteaders and wannabes. He gives concise, and interesting information, and simple instructions for hundreds of useful topics and projects. All the old fashioned things you ever heard about but didn't know how to tackle at home are addressed in this helpful book. Instructions for making foods, clothing, furnishings, tools, toys, wildcrafting, herbals, soaps, buildings and other structures and more are included. Storing food and preserving it are given a large amount of space, as well as homemade personal care items. Short of listing it's huge index, there is no way to adequately describe the treaure that is in Down Home Ways. To own it is to use it every day!
