I am from the area of Appalachian Mountains where the Foxfire books were written. I lived in Wolf Creek Hollow. My avatar Blufire is based on the foxfire I used to see many hot steamy summer nights, it truly looks like blue fire. Beautiful and magical.

These books do offer a lot of info but they are more “folksy” than real defined ways of how to homestead. My pick hands down is Carla Emery’s The Encyclopedia of Country Living. If I could only choose one book for solid information on how to live off-grid or basic “old timer” type living I would not hesitate to grab this one.
