Not only the reading material but the references and resources as well. As beginning ruralists this was great. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ So you want to live in the country. . . *by C***G on Reviewed in the United States on October 11, 2009* The astonishing amount of information in this book scratches the surface on most every aspect of country living. It is a terrific primer for someone considering a move to the country with the idea of developing a certain amount of self-sufficiency, but is also a great reference for someone in the country who is interested in taking on the occasional new project. This is great place to start. I won't be building an old-fashioned woodshed or digging a well (!) but if I wanted to do either of these or hundreds of other things from making curtains to cheese, butchering game to canning garden produce, building a fence or a root cellar, it's all here. Even though this is a yellow pages sized book, there is such a wide variety of topics, the information can only go so far. It is far enough, however, to satisfy the curiosity and/or get you started. Obviously if you intend to keep cattle, for example, and have little knowledge on that subject, you'll need to learn more than this book offers, but there's enough here to get you thinking.I found the information on gardening to be the most useful and feel some level of comfort that I have a place to look should I want to take on other projects or look for tips of various sorts, like how to discourage bugs naturally or what tools to use for what, what to look for when buying a tractor or tackling weed problems. There is a very good index at the back so looking up a topic is easy and there's also an index of more detailed books on various subjects if you want to go to the next level. There are plenty of illustrations to make things clearer. I don't see myself needing most of the topics (need to know how to sheer a sheep?), but you never know. A local hunter recently gave me a goose he'd shot and guess where I looked to learn how to clean it. That was something I never expected to do. Whether you're just daydreaming about country life or trying to determine what you can and cannot undertake yourself, this book has value and a lot of good information. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ everything you need to know in one book *by &***; on Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2007* I bought this book after reading Gregg Perry's review of the book (read review below mine). I have to say he was right on the money. This book has way more in it than I thought it would. How to raise goats, chickens/chicken problems, ducks, geese, how to buy the right land, home maintanence, septic systems, composting, how to store grains, and how to farm to to cover the tip of the ice berg. I own a lot of other Storey books, and this book takes a lot of the information from those books and just gets down to the nuts and bolts. My review simply can't help but fall short of just was useful, and how much information is in this book. This is one of the best book purchases I have ever made, and this is coming from a guy who owns multiple books on these subjects. Had I found this book first I could have saved myself a lot of time and money. Do yourself a favor buy this book you won't regret it. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/4540853-storeys-basic-country-skills-a-practical-guide-to-self-reliance](https://www.desertcart.at/products/4540853-storeys-basic-country-skills-a-practical-guide-to-self-reliance) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-05-15*
