Does the Foxfire series count as one book ? 😁 😁

@Guildbrookfarm 5 лет назад

Nerp 😑

@LizZorab 5 лет назад

Thank you for joining the collaboration, I didn't know about the FoxFire series, I'm going to order the first one to add to my homestead library and then no doubt, will work my way through the whole series :-)

@Guildbrookfarm 5 лет назад

They are amazing! Even just to read by the fire. You will love them! Thanks for having us Liz!

@bushpushersdaughter 5 лет назад

Liz, you will not be disappointed!

@chancesrgood4216 5 лет назад

I recommend making your own book... When I learn something useful I put it in a word file ... mine is called useful tidbits... it has how to's, recipes for things like soap, plant treatments, cooking... I have tips like how to protect your plants, make kindlings, fire tips... it has what treats what that I know works like ginger for nausea, pepper mint for upset stomach, vinegar for sunburn pain... all work I have used them ... basically I think ppl should build a book or books and add pics if needed as they learn on the internet read or know themselves... in the end they have a useful library book/books that they can pass on

@GoldShawFarm 5 лет назад

That Back to Basics book is ABSOLUTELY a classic. My dad had a copy. I think that reading it as a kid planted the seed for what I'm doing today. Good choice!

@WildWonderfulOffGrid 5 лет назад

Excellent book suggestions! Thanks! The rain has been killing us here. Winter might be brutal if this keeps up!

@Guildbrookfarm 5 лет назад

I know! 😫

@kimberlyakaellchisholm6775 5 лет назад

Oh my gosh! I'm so excited! I'm only 1 minute and 15 seconds in and already the first book I see is my all time favorite homestead book! I treasure the book I have so much. It was my grandfathers and now it's mine. He passed away when I was 11 so there was a lot I never had a chance to learn from him. I've been following your channel for quite some time now and I just want to say thank you for loving that book.

@uphillhomestead6188 5 лет назад

My dad gave me his copy of Back to Basics right before he died. When a storm took destroyed it I was devastated. He never had the homestead he wanted and now I do so this was of great value.

@Gigi-fv9ky 5 лет назад

I recently read that he spent the last bit of his life on his family farm in Pembrokeshire and is buried in a hilltop orchard he planted.

We have had gardens everywhere and planted fruit trees in all but TX. We had small livestock in CO and OK. Thanks for your list, I will check out "The Self Sufficient Life" Stay safe in the storms

@sarahaugustine4185 5 лет назад

@StillSwirling 5 лет назад

What an awesome series! Thanks.

@sandyjacobs6202 5 лет назад

I really have a great confidence in the infor you give out because i know you really research your infor thank you

@africanhomestead 5 лет назад

Thanks for the recommendations! Back to Basics was the first homesteading book I ever purchased. Seymour’s book has been on my Amazon Wishlist for too long. Maybe it’s time to pull the trigger!

@KyleWyattOnGoogle 5 лет назад

I own all three. That a surprise bit of affirmation for today! John Seymour in particular is amazing.

@nicholejones680 5 лет назад

YESSSS, I've been hoping you would put something like this out!!! Best channel on RU-vid, thanks mama

@sharonbyers3982 5 лет назад

I thank you ladies for this collaborative effort...invaluable!! I was ranch raised by my Great Aunt and Uncle who were born in the 1880's so I learned a TON of good stuff...SPOT ON!!, Oklahoma Grandma

@royfrady8219 5 лет назад

Growing up in Western NC, I used to check those out from the library. The Foxfire books that is. Always enjoyed them. I had forgotten about them until you mentioned them.

@reneep9968 5 лет назад

I love your choices! Those Foxfire books are great! I pray that the rain lets up and the sun is shining on you and your farm! Blessings...

@WendyK656 5 лет назад

Be safe Jeremy and Jaime! I know we have been raining a lot in Wisconsin, and were going to flood again. We have the Baraboo river, Kickapoo river, Lemonweir river, Wisconsin river. We flooded in Elroy Wi the last part of Aug and the first part of Sept, we had a lot of damage. Thank you for sharing the books you use.

@FernHillOhio 5 лет назад

Great choices. I spent a long time compiling my Foxfire set. They're just amazing.

@bushpushersdaughter 5 лет назад

Praying for a dry and minimum snow winter. This was a wonderful list!

@allenshepherd5962 5 лет назад

Wow so cool to see you have fox fire my family is in those books so I got a big smile from a shepherd in Alaska

@bsofar1675 5 лет назад

I have Back to Basics and a few of the Foxfire series. Back to Basics contains an amazing amount of information condensed into a small space, no fluff, no repetitious narrative, or wasted words. Love it!

@bsofar1675 5 лет назад

Another book I use a lot: "Prescription for Nutritional Healing".

@amberrain306 5 лет назад

Im so envious of all that rain. I live in South Australia and cant remember what it looks like- dry winter and now spring with nothing. Thanks for awesome vids! Keep em coming👍

@lifewithmikeandjenn5814 5 лет назад

Those are in our library as well! Love the collaboration.

@mrwhitten7704 5 лет назад

Great video as always. I've ordered your first two on the list and will work on the Fox Fire series. Y'all continue to inspire. I'll get the frugal cook books as a surprise gift for my wife. She love's that stuff!

@waynekerr2472 5 лет назад

I got back to basics a couple weeks ago when boss of the swamp was showing some of his favorite books

@kentonlord5986 5 лет назад

I have the first two. Great choices.

@celticbirdwoman1198 5 лет назад

I have all those - great choices - I also love Carla Emery's book

@jennicawolf77 5 лет назад

John Seymour is my absolute favorite too!!!! I have almost all of his old books! Any old British homesteading books are my fav! ☺️

@PTDoc 4 года назад

I have the entire Fox Fire Series!!! Thank you for the other recommendations!!

@foggypatchfarm6048 3 года назад

I especially like John Seymour's smaller books for his ideas and philosophy on why people should be more self sufficient. My other favorite is The Good Life by Scott and Helen Nearing. They break down their routine and also how they earned income from the homestead before the internet.

@stevenssunshinefarm5560 5 лет назад

Hi! Another great book is The Encyclopedia of Country Living by Carla Emery. It is excellent!

@mountainsidefarm8357 5 лет назад

I am SO glad you are in this Colab!!! Stay safe in this storm!!!! We had 5 months of rain almost daily in the first part of this year. Hopefully this will stop soon and you will dry out. 👍🏻🙏🏻

@Guildbrookfarm 5 лет назад

Blowing hard right now! Should be over in a couple more hours 🤞🏻

@suzannelallen 5 лет назад

Stay safe! South GA here, going to help neighbors with their downed tree limbs. Thanks for the info.

@beaniesammy 5 лет назад

omg thank you very much this will definitely help me 😊

@Jenniferlynn401 5 лет назад

I have back to basics and also rosemary gladstar books on herbal medicines. I also have gardening books like tomatoes love corn.

@LifeinFarmland 5 лет назад

Great recommendations! Stay safe!

@fire7side 5 лет назад

I think the foxfire books had the biggest impression on me, and Walden Pond. They aren't technical, but they have the lore and excitement of homesteading and living in nature.

@lisabooker6405 5 лет назад

Good stuff! I have the sowing version of the first book. Talk about detailed. Wow! It’s awesome. Really clear and excellent pictures. I love the FoxFire and Storey books. All are excellent. TFS. Stay dry. Blessings always~Lisa

@patearl4036 4 года назад

If Back to basics wasnt on here I would have been totally surprised. It is the Cream of the Crop of Homesteading books. The new and updated version is great too but I have 2 of the old originals, well-thumbed thru and have learned so much from it.

@fivetopsfarm8061 5 лет назад

Love the Foxfire books and John Seymour

@camahtadore7791 5 лет назад

I keep a set of the Foxfire books at the ready, absolutely invaluable! Ours are first printings and still going strong.

@Guildbrookfarm 5 лет назад

As far as I know, the information in those books isn’t documented anywhere else. Truly invaluable

@caroldorsett8170 5 лет назад

Colorado here we are in a drought here, send your rain our way!

@jackphillips3512 5 лет назад

Thanks for the book recommendations. We are a bit north in SW Virginia. We have had flash flooding for 24 hours. No worries where we live unless we need to get out as we have limited roads that could close.

@beerandprawns 5 лет назад

Back to basics is a great book, I have a 2003, reprint version in my collection. Another informative video, Cheers and stay safe.

@audreynanapreps2543 5 лет назад

Love love the foxfire series!

@Beecozz7 5 лет назад

Good recommendations, I'll check them out! TY

@curban616 5 лет назад

Micheal!! What a pain. We were so blessed. I’m in Florida but, not in the panhandle. NC Florida...I pray everyone makes it through this storm ok. Great book collection. I have the first book..I also recommend Carla Emery’s Book. I love it.

@denisestone8491 5 лет назад

I got Back To Basics after I got Tightwad Gazette. Will have to look into the others. Thanks for the great suggestions!

@angelinashomesteadonwheels1871 5 лет назад

@50shadesofgreen 5 лет назад

Good day to you guys !! A great collection of book to us as a reference !! 🏡📷👍✝

@paulhester378 4 года назад

“Tribe” by Sebastian Junger is a great book. It truly explains the essential needs of being around and protecting others that share your vision. From a fellow North Carolinian, “Guildbrook Farm” Rocks. . . Thanks for sharing your adventure.

@geenabeanscrochetandmore3533 5 лет назад

Stay safe. The wind and rain ripped through GA last night. We actually have the whole foxfire series! I’ll be looking for the other books you mentioned.

@colortreecreations5605 5 лет назад

I have a few of the Foxfire books, and one book that I love is A Rodale Gardening book called Growing Fruits and Vegetables Organically. It has all kinds of garden plants, what diseases and pests can effect each plant and how to treat it.

@63SpaceGirl 5 лет назад

I found pdf versions for free. Just Google "Foxfire pdf" This is a link for the first 5 book. raygravitt.com/the-foxfire-books/

@63SpaceGirl 5 лет назад

My go to book is "Eating Better For Less" by Ray Wolf. It is from the 70's, but has detailed everything you need to know about food. Chapters on nutrition, budgeting, producing food, how much do you need to raise for your family, what a family of 4 needs to put up for the year, how/when to plant your seeds, how/when you harvest, canning, drying, storage, and recipies for the stored items. I believe it is out of print, but I just picked up a used book in really good condition last year ($5.00)

@huckfinn4260 5 лет назад

Those are all excellent choices. Seymour's book is my favorite. Just solidly packed with tons of essential information. Like you said if I had to whittle it down to one book that would be it. I would also recommend Creating The Low-Budget Homestead by Steven Gregersen, for folks like myself who are doing it on a shoestring with very low or no income. The Resilient Farm and Homestead by Ben Falk is an outstanding book. Another exceptional book that I got a lot out of is Sepp Holzer's Permaculture.

@Annie.xx-xx 5 лет назад

Hey jaime. Great video. I'd llove that first book you showed us it sounds Awesome. I really hope you all get some respite from the rainxx💟

@laura-annstewart627 5 лет назад

Love love john Seymours book I've had a copy for almost 20 years its worn and has some stains but it's the best one ive found . I'll have to look for the other 2 book

@dottiebebris9706 5 лет назад

Jaime, I'd like to add another book to your list. I own most of the Rodale gardening books as well as those you listed. But I acquired Will Bonsall's Essential Guide to Radical, Self-Reliant Gardening a couple years ago. Will gardens in Western Maine and his aim is to live off the products of his farm, without animals or inputs from off the farm. He has some great ideas that I've never found elsewhere. Another Mainer is Eliot Coleman and his The New Organic Grower and The Winter Harvest Handbook.

@dwalsh4027 5 лет назад

I had the Back to Basics when I was a young bride 40 years ago. I spent hours reading and wishing I lived on a homestead. I have moved many times and I no longer know where the book it. I miss it.

@gregmauchline9146 5 лет назад

1983, travels with charley and the anarchist cook book.

@indridcold4469 5 лет назад

I love the Foxfire series the stories from the old timers are the best . Be safe people me n Jesus love y'all.

@gardenlady1293 5 лет назад

My favs were Carla Emery's Book " Encyclopedia of Country Living", Rodale's "Organic Gardening, " and for inspiration "Living the Good Life." To save money, T "The Tightwad Gazzette." I love the Foxfire Books too!!!! I feel terrible that the original author Eliot Wiggington turned out to be such an evil person.

@PetalsonthePavingSlabs 5 лет назад

John Seymour is the master! And I really like the look of that back to basics book, I'll have a hunt for that in thrift shops / amazon etc. Great video, thank you!

@dr.froghopper6711 5 лет назад

Excellent notions! I don’t have room for all my reference materials. Back to basics is a good book. I also like The Old Fashioned Cook Book by Carla Emery. It’s seriously good! And the Foxfire books are outstanding! Great choices!

@reginaldshannon4220 5 лет назад

John seamore books are a must I have a few. All the best from Reg Shannon in Dublin Ireland 🇮🇪

@SmallwoodHomestead 5 лет назад

Thank you so much for your book recommendations! I'm always looking for new resources to add to my collection! Namaste. ~Gypsy from Smallwood Homestead

@RickMitchellProvenanceAndRoots 5 лет назад

Foxfire just went into my Amazon cart for tomorrow's order! Thanks for sharing!

@Guildbrookfarm 5 лет назад

You won’t regret that order. They will be great to read through the winter

@sergeantkitty 5 лет назад

I have the first two books! I'd recommend "Strategic Relocation" by Joel M. Skousen and Andrew Skousen. It gives a very detailed breakdown/rating of all the states, covering things like yearly weather, political corruption, homeschooling freedom, gun rights, etc. It even points out potential military targets that may be attacked if we were ever at war in the future. Really good guidance if you're trying to choose a location for your homestead and haven't decided where to move yet.

@HOMESTEAD_AUS 5 лет назад

I agree John Seymour’s book I’ve had for 30 years Hi from Australia here on the farm I’ve been watching you for years but first comment 😀❤️👋

I'll have to pick up the John Seymour book I have the others

@juliebaker6969 5 лет назад

I borrowed my dads original copy of the first Foxfire book back in middle school in the early 70s. He kept asking for it back, but I kept forgetting. He didn't get it back till he showed up at my house unexpectedly 20 years later (I wasn't expecting him so I left it lay out). And as for the Back to Basics book (my husband calls it the tome), I have worn out two copies so far, and am looking in every used bookstore I find to try to find a replacement.

@cassieoz1702 4 года назад

John Seymour started me on this path to 😁

@rjames5305 2 года назад

Requested John Seymours book from library today! Thanks for suggestion

@colleenrodamer6230 5 лет назад

I have that same book

@evelynatcraneshearth 5 лет назад

Finding the entire Firefox series can be a little of a challenge sometimes. (Ask me how I know. LOL) Probably the one set of books everyone I know whose a homesteader AND a prepper can agree on. Awesome choice.

@Guildbrookfarm 5 лет назад

I have a link in the description to the whole series 👍🏻

@straubdavid9 5 лет назад

Is there still time to dig an inground pool ~8^) Too much rain .... tomatoes are splitting, and it's too much bother now to fight off plant diseases ..... looking forward to next spring. When I was younger I used to love to read stuff by Euell Gibbons like "Stalking the Wild Asparagus", and I still remember a chapter in one of his books titled "If I Knew You Were Coming - I Would Have Baked You A Cattail Root". He passed away at the end of 1975 .... some of his work is available on Amazon, and may be still hiding in some libraries. Take care & keep your powder dry Guildbrooksters.

@davidj.mackinney6568 5 лет назад

My dad gave me this book years ago

@essemsween818 5 лет назад

You've had our last, about 7 or 8 "Summer's (& I use the term advisedly)" weather this year then. 2018 has been our best Summer since ....? Guesses anyone? 1976 !!! No word of a lie. 42 years since we had like 3 to 4 straight sunny weeks This year is the first July in 7 years that it hasn't rained every single day. It has been a miracle. Now though? The trees are touching the Tarmac whether it's Michael, Winifred, Tom, Dick or Harry that's causing it I'm just praying I don't lose all the fence panels around my gardens. Lol. P.s. So Sorry you're in the "Soggy's" ☔ hope you dry up in time to finish all your Winter prep. P.p.s? Great video guys as usual. 😍🎃

@kaiOutLoud 5 лет назад

Hi Jaime! What do you think about doing the top homeschooling books (if you haven’t already and I missed it) that’d awesome 😊💕

@stewartwilliams2086 5 лет назад

what a strange phrase weather forecasters ( calling for rain) instead of forecasting rain . I guess it is true UK and USA separated by a common language .

@alexriddles492 5 лет назад

How about " Introduction to Permaculture" by Bill Mollison?

@bobbypin8581 5 лет назад

What year was that book published so I can try and track it downI want the first edition not any upgrade because normally upgrade things quality goes away happened to my better Home and Gardens Cookbook thank you for any info God bless you all
