Of and With
A set of field guides for living from the land. Each one covers a different relationship with the natural world, and carries its own methods, its own guide, and its own standards.
The name
Of the land — drawing from it, depending on it, eating and building from what it produces.
With nature — not controlling it, not fighting it, working in relationship with it.

Of and With the Land

Herbalism, homesteading, wildcrafting, and food from the ground up. Plant identification, preparation ratios, growing, preserving, and the systems that support them. Its field guide covers 72 medicinal plants, each use rated by how good the evidence actually is.

Water, Earth, Skies and Energy will follow — filtration and collection; soil and building from what's underfoot; weather, solar cycles and seasonal tracking; off-grid power and storage. Each will get its own guide, its own methods, and its own way of showing you how solid a claim is. The four conditions below are the only thing they share. None of them exist yet.
The condition of carrying the name
Nothing is published here, and nothing is recommended, unless all four answers are yes:
- Does it genuinely reduce what you depend on?
- Is it built to last — repairable, durable, warrantied?
- Does it have lower impact than the thing it replaces?
- Are the claims verifiable with real numbers?
If any answer is no, it does not appear — regardless of the commission.
Opening notices
Quiet until the next one opens — then one message. No methods or guides in between; those come from the guides themselves, so you can take them one at a time.
You're on the list. The next time you hear from it, something new is open.
