Summary of Joel Salatin's Folks, This Ain't Normal

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The biggest thrill in life for today's teenagers is becoming competent on the video game. This is not normal, and it is creating an environment that is not conducive to future leaders. #2 Gather wood, and you will find a lot of satisfaction in the heart of a young person. This activity allows them to commune with the forest's bounty, its diversity of species, and the different properties of each. #3 The American tradition of gathering firewood is a testament to the deep personal satisfaction, the physical, emotional, and spiritual affirmation that such work engenders.
It is the ultimate self-actualization. #4 The wood-gathering chore taught me both personal responsibility and dependability. If I got cold, it wasn't anyone's fault but my own. I had to think ahead, plan, and be aware of outside temperature that determined how much wood we would burn for the night.
