Extreme simplicity

the long version

"The Nyergeses are gentle survivalists. Prepared to cope with the worst that nature or human craziness can deliver - earthquakes and droughts, power failures or terrorist attacks - they have devised ways of growing and preserving garden produce, finding wild edibles, harvesting storm runoff for backup water supplies, preparing food with a wood stove and solar cooker and recycling everything from bottle caps to wood chips."--BOOK JACKET.
