Looking for a book.

submitted by Belfuro to AskUpgoat 9 monthsAug 24, 2024 20:12:28 ago (+4/-0)     (AskUpgoat)

Written sometime around 1890.

An encyclopedia of sorts.

Post here on voat about 1 year ago. The topic was on survival or more accurately. How to live with hand tools, make your own things.

How our ancestors lived back then.

Cheers in advance.
