I Wrote a Foraging Logbook (Yes, Really. It Has Recipes Too.)
Yep, I
actually wrote a book. It’s called The Forager’s Notebook and it’s
basically a place to record all your wild finds—plants, fungi, mystery
weeds—and keep track of where you saw that one perfect patch before a raccoon
beat you to it. It’s got 135 log pages, spots for sketches and notes, and 20
wild food recipes that won’t make you cry into your cast iron. If you forage,
homestead, or just enjoy writing things down like it’s 1998, this one's for
you.

Curious about the homesteading life but not ready to go full barn boots just yet? This 30-Day Homesteading Challenge gives you one new task each day to try for yourself—like making fire without matches, fermenting something funky, or baking from scratch. You won’t get hand-holding or tutorials; you’ll figure it out as you go, just like real homesteaders do. It’s not about perfection—it’s about trying it out before you trade your apartment for a chicken coop.
