any of you guys ever checked out the lost ways by claude davis? don't know anything about him but i ordered it today.
There have been some BBC series that seem fitting to mention here. The Victorian Farm, The Edwardian Farm, The Tudor Farm, and The Wartime Farm. They are primarily the same folks with a few exceptions. Some of the things they do and learn are pretty interesting. Oddly, The Edwardian Farm which is typically one of my favorite eras, was my least favorite. Still interesting, but didn't seem laid out as well. Anyhoo, they are available to watch on YT if you are interested. Hope that's not too off topic.I picked up a copy of Lost Ways 2 and found it pretty good. Amazon has crazy prices for it, but it’s available from the author for about $40. Initially I was going to resell it, but it would be a good addition to the library. It covers charcoal making and it’s importance, uses of activated charcoal for air and water filters, lots of valuable plants with half page color pictures, how to make a well, how to build a log cabin, and more. Well written, and not overly wordy.
Plenty of things to make you think, and useful tips. Practical.

I have or had most of the Foxfire books. They were easy for me to let go. They were interesting, and had some practical things in them, but not worth the overall keeping, to me. What I liked best about Foxfire was that kids were connected to their community and it’s seniors as a learning project. That benefitted everyone, and made school much better.I have the 1st book and like it very well. I need to see about getting one from the author. No way am I paying $120 to Amazon for it.
Sounds similar to the Foxfire series
