for visiting The Real Know-How.
Our focus: Passing along essential information for sustainable, self-sufficient living on an individual and community level.
The posts on The Real Know-How speak to how we feed and clothe ourselves, how we generate energy, work, get around and dispose of waste.
This know-how comes from hundreds of ordinary and not-so-ordinary people who are thinking up new ways of doing things and reviving traditional methods.
We’ve got video and photo tutorials (I’m a visual learner), articles and success stories for inspiration.
In selecting what to post we’ve tried to stay away from strongly ideological and jargony content. I think the know-how has to be shared regardless of what school of thought or movement you align with.
