Im completly new to the self sufficient life style, had a little dabble late last year and loved it, especially making hampers as christmas presents. they went down better then the bought presents I got for others!
Ive made a new years resolution (and I dont usually make them!) to be more self sufficient and to get away from the commercialism that drove me potty at christmas!!!!!!

Im getting some ex-bats from the BHWT and hopefully some quail from a friend.
So, does any one have any tips to get me started?
