    Glad you made this video. I watched the video where Clyde tells all about the book and why he made it..sucked me right in,, then saw all the terrible reviews. It seemed fishy to me so I came upon your video and glad to get a thorough opinion. I honestly think all the bad reviews are part of a bigger scheme to discourage people from learning this stuff because it undermines the pharmaceutical industry and the dependence we have on the system. Im definitely going to get a copy.

    I just found this video, nearly three years later ;) I wanted to thank you for the fair and honest review of this book. I have seen some of the negative reviews elsewhere and wondered if it was a good option for people who are not long time preppers or survivalists; you answered my questions.
    I too get bugged at people who leave negative comments, not because the item is faulty or "not as advertised", but because it didn't work for them.
    I am also thankful for the heads-up about the company putting this out using aggressive marketing tactics; I am a marketing flunky because I don't believe in pressure sales. I'll try to find one of those folks who didn't like it and buy from them to avoid that hassle. Thank you again!

My grandmother was a Native American with good ideas when it came to cooking. Natural food from the ground is the best mixed with a little bit of meat. Yummy

    Good review. I also find aggressive marketing distasteful. Many survival or homestead books exist. I can't recall or find the book now online, but a 1970s-80s era Swedish immigrant wrote a very nice homestead book hardcover with brown cover for the USA/Canadian market. Caution and practice are recommended with most things. Foxfire books seem to have many non-functioning things.

    Ayuh! Thoroughly enjoyed this straight-forward review! I have some products from this company and while I find that they're somewhat over-blown, they are chock full of usefully information...if you take the time to read them. Take care...from a new Maine sub!

    My copy just arrived. My first complaint is the black and white pictures. But if something happens, I can keep this information. On a computer only, you're gonna need some great batteries if the power goes out.

    Yes on the overselling/discounting temptations! Just ordered it and that pissed me off. Almost backed out it when that mess started happening. Its a Shame that the marketing pulls crap like this because it really cheapens the product, which I truly believe is a quality book

    Million dollar idea, find the plant that is identified and dry it so you have the actual plant later.

    I like the review very much. It's kind of a sensible overview of the book and help to decide if the book is right for you. I'm going to buy it but I don't see the link below your video. I was hoping to be able to go to the site and buy it. I'm not sure if you discussed whether or not you get the PDF as well with the hard copy book. Overall it is a great review. Thanks.

    All of our medicine was made by analyzing natural remedies and taking those compounds and making them from chemicals.
