Foxfire 11

I added this book to my father's collection of Foxfire books. The series is incredibly useful. I would highly recomend it to anyone who wants to learn more about basic living. It is clearly written and very entertaining. My dad finds many "projects" that he has already done ( being a hunter and living on a farm) but also it brings back many good memories of childhood when his family used to raise goats and such. I'd love to see more in the series.
