Details

For over 40 years, John Seymour’s classic has been the go-to anthem for green living, equal parts practical handbook and manifesto against modern excess. From chopping wood to harnessing solar power, growing veg to brewing beer, Seymour guides you step-by-step through the art of living off the land. With wit, wisdom, and a dash of rebellion, this 376-page volume shows that self-sufficiency isn’t just survival, it’s joy, craft, and a touch of rock ’n’ roll in every loaf of bread, jar of jam, and pint of home-brew.
