You don't need to live in the country or own a large farm in order to be self-sufficient. You can practice many basic country skills in a small town, the suburbs and even in the city! The MOTHER EARTH NEWS Guide to Country Skills has the information you need to be more self-reliant, from ideas to implement in your home, to stories from those who have made a successful homestead for themselves.

Read about a woman who lives on a "renter's homestead" where she cans, gardens and keeps livestock. There is also the story of a couple who moved to the country, started a market garden and built their home by hand.

This Guide includes instructions for several DIY projects, including:

• Easy Bread
• Building a passive solar water heater
• Canning fruit, meat and vegetables

You'll also find tips for buying land, choosing the right homestead vehicle and more.

Start your dream of becoming more self-sufficient, with MOTHER EARTH NEWS Guide to Country Skills.
