About
Embrace off-grid green living and imagine a more sustainable future with the original guide to self-sufficiency.
For over 40 years, John Seymour has inspired thousands to make more eco-friendly choices with his advice on living sustainably. The New Complete Book of Self-Sufficiency offers step-by-step instructions on everything from chopping trees to harnessing solar power; from growing fruit and vegetables, and preserving and pickling your harvest, to baking bread, brewing beer, and making cheese. Seymour shows you how to live off the land, running your own smallholding or homestead, and raising (and butchering) livestock.
In a world of mass production, intensive farming, and food miles, Seymour's words offer an alternative: a celebration of investing time, labour, and love into the things we need. While we won't all be able to move to the countryside, we can appreciate the need to eat food that has been grown ethically or create things we can cherish, using skills that have been handed down through generations. This bestselling classic is a balm for anyone who has ever sought solace away from the madness of modern life.
Life, hey?
Life is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you're going to get. Um, no offence to Forrest Gump's mom, but there's always a label on the bottom of chocolate boxes telling you exactly what you're going to get.
Life is like the internet.
The old World Wide Web can be a scary place, with pop-ups hiding behind every firewall. Like life, the internet is always changing. Once you think you've got it figured out, there's a new internet trend to wrap your head around.
What is this "Girl Dinner" that everyone is talking about anyway?
Who is this man that Reesa Teesa married anyway?
What is Love is Blind and does Chelsea look like Megan Fox?
The internet is also a great place and can help us understand the world and connect with like-minded people. But maybe the best part of the internet is that you can get sweet deals like our deal on Kruger Family Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon.
