The Lost Ways

by Claude Davis, Fergus Mason (Contributor), M. Taylor (Contributor)

Hy, my name is Claude Davis and this is my 432 pages, color, hardcover. The SHTF we all prep for is what folks 150 years ago called daily life: no electrical power, no refrigerators, no Internet, no computers, no TV, no hyperactive law enforcement, and no Safeway or Walmart. The Lost Ways prepares you to deal with worst-case scenarios with the minimum amount of resources just like our forefathers lived their lives, totally independent from electricity, cars, or modern technology whatsoever, which means you'll also be bulletproof against the ever-increasing threat of an Electro Magnetic Pulse, a Powerful Economic Breakdown, Famines, and Natural Disasters.

Genres: Nonfiction, Survival, Self Help

The Lost Ways by Claude Davis is a survivalist guide that revives forgotten skills and techniques used by our ancestors. The book covers everything from food preservation and natural remedies to basic survival tactics, offering practical advice for living off the grid and being self-sufficient in any situation.

I thumbed through this one, reading most parts but skimming the huge listing of edible plants and how to tan a hide. Smokehouse plans and how to build a root cellar were very interesting. I guess if the SHTF then this would be a valuable book to have around.

Gave me a new hobby! Acorn collecting and acorn bread baking. Sounds dorky but I needed a hobby. The book has some cool survival tips for if you don't have internet, but I think it's most fun to find new hobbies with it. When I received the book I opened it just to get a quick look and ended up spending the next three hours glued to it. I couldn't put it down ! Well written and interesting information that was fun to read. I am still going through this reading it and learning. Some of the things I knew but had forgotten others were very impressive. I am always trying to learn in case of emergency or whatever happens. I try to make it so my family can last longer if the need comes. I found this to be interesting reading and a very helpful book. I found some parts to have humor which I enjoyed but they still get the point across. It is a book I want to read slow and do a little research one. I am happy with this buy.

WARNING: If you choose to purchase the “Lost Ways” book be careful! There are rumour indicating that people who paid for the book never received it.
So please purchase at your own risk!

This book wasn’t that great, it’s cost is higher than other books on this subject, and it’s not as visually attractive as one can expect.
It’s more of a recipe book than anything else, really.

A better book for a better price AND with better material is: Carla Emery's Encyclopedia of Country Living

Blessed Be,

Artemis

If you want to learn to survive out here in the country, then you may want to read this one! Being raised in Eastern Kentucky, I already knew some of this stuff. However, if you are truly a newb to what it takes to get by out here, you definitely wanna give this one a look! 4.5 stars! Cheers everyone!

The Lost Ways is an excellent book with much of the information needed to survive if something catastrophic happens. The book familiarizes the reader with the recipes and activities our great-grandparents knew and used daily. Those same recipes and activities can keep us alive today. This is a must-have for any resource library.

Overview: Are you interested in vintage inspired decorations for your homestead? It's even better if you can actually use it. Are you leaning towards a self-sufficient lifestyle that will allow you to use healthier options for snacks. Or do you see that the world is on the precipice and one false movie will send society tumbling down? This collection seeks to share some older knowledge that our more modern world has forgotten.

Dislikes: With the section on foraging wild edibles, it might be best to pick up a full-color, highly detailed book of wild edibles. The main reason is the photographs included with my copy could be dangerous in the long run, as they seemed to be a little fuzzy.

Likes: We got a lot of recipes and blue prints with this book. Also this book explains how the Donner Party ended, using a clinical eye.

Conclusion: This was a fascinating read. Try it for educational purposes, or just to make a few useful decorations on your homestead. Enjoy the read.

Interesting, but not really much I would use in today's world unfortunately!

[Kama · Rating 3 out of 5]

That was interesting. Hopefully I never have to do these things!

Excellent survival guide. The shelter information could have been improved upon. It was difficult to follow instructions.

Great book for preppers and those who want to know how the pioneers attended to survival needs. Not all pioneer oriented, but some is.

One of the best how to books.
