Review: "A daring and entertaining book full of 'recipes' in the broadest sense; from getting out and staying out of debt and becoming financially independent, to tried and tested recipes for household items and life sustaining meals made from the simplest (and often free) ingredients. Some are highly unusual! Packed with essential information for anyone wanting to live a more independent, self reliant lifestyle. This book is genuinely radical in very beguiling ways; more than a mild-mannered 'green consumer' guide, John Yeoman questions very basic habits and assumptions, and does so in a way that is thought-provoking and audacious."

John Yeoman writes:

"This is not a 'black book' of survival. It is intended as an introduction to self reliance, showing tested, practical and often entertaining ways to escape the mindset of helplessness and the chains of habit forged for all of us by the consumer society. It guarantees not only an improvement in the odds but also, if you follow its suggestions and experiments, a vast improvement on your own self-confidence. Because in the worst scenario, you will endure - and endure well."
