Imagine: you are a curious kid who wants to learn about do-it-yourself and homesteading skills. So you head to the website of your
local library and search for "homesteading" or "underground building" or some such. Up comes the
SKIP book
"Skills to Inherit Property? That sounds pretty cool." So you check it out and read it as soon as you can. Then you carve a
spoon and post it to the forum. Your first badge bit! Before long you are showing your friends an herbal remedy that you made and putting together a sewing kit. One thing follows another, and before long you have grown 100,00 calories. Your skills are so obvious that the organic farms in your area are competing to hire you. And all of this
experience grew out of a simple visit to a library. Where might someone find the book?
