Wood
Wood is one of the most versatile materials known to man. It can be used for fuel, shelter, tools, weapons, furniture - you name it. In this category we have compiled an extensive list of resources that will help you harness the power of wood in times of crisis or need.
Whether you're looking to heat your home during a power outage or rebuild after a natural disaster has struck your community, our selection includes everything from practical guides on how to chop firewood efficiently to detailed instructions on how to build log cabins from scratch.
Some notable titles in this category include Heating With Wood by Andy Reynolds - a comprehensive guide that covers everything from choosing the right stove to storing firewood; Charcoal Making On A Small Scale by Eugene M. Wengert - which teaches readers how to make charcoal out of scrap wood using simple equipment; and The Complete Book Of Building Log Cabins by Monte Burch - which provides step-by-step instructions on constructing traditional log homes.
In addition to these essential reads, we also offer resources covering topics such as identifying different types of trees suitable for building or burning purposes; tips for safely handling chainsaws and other woodworking tools; and even recipes for cooking over an open flame.
