A guide to living more naturally, for simplifying your life.

The guide is a way for people to take back their lives, the ability to know they are capable of taking care of themselves and their families, as it has been done forever. There are colored photographs of edible and medicinal plants many from sprouting to dying back for easier identification-also information on identifying, harvesting, using, and storing them. There's a chapter with recipes using foraged food, tinctures, and poultices as well as plans for making some of the tools you'll need. It's an easy read to give you the confidence you need to know you can .
