~*Eirene Prasso -- Lifestyle of Peace*~
Many of the links I provide are from old publications or sources. My reasoning being that for the person without much electricity or conviences these books give tried and true instructions. Why try to re-invent the wheel if you don't have to. Substitute where you have to for lack of an item and current safety standards.
