The Native Household Manual

The ledger

What the old methods are worth in today's money.

Every method in the manual lists its materials, its cost, and what it replaces. Here is a sample of that ledger — one method from each section.

From the first readers

The bill is the proof.

★★★★★

"Did the thermostat method and the hot stone the same week I read chapter 11. Heating bill went from $290 to $205 the very next month. My wife thought the meter was broken."

Gerald · Ohio

★★★★★

"I canceled the pest contract in March. Cedar, the ash line and the bucket trap did more in three weeks than the company did in three years. That's $65 a month I just keep now."

Dianne · Texas

★★★★★

"The fridge chapter alone stopped about $30 a week of food from hitting the trash. I read it out loud to my daughter over the phone. She bought her own copy."

Common questions

Before you ask.

Is this just the YouTube videos written down?

The channel covers a piece of it. The manual is the whole system — every method from the videos plus the ones that never made it to camera, organized in the order you should do them, with the materials and dollar amounts written next to each one. The videos teach one method at a time. The book runs the household.

I rent. Can I use this?

Most of it, yes. The cooling methods, the fridge and pantry system, every pest method, all of the cleaning chapters, the stain table and the energy walk work in any rental without touching a wall. The garden and wood sections need a yard.

I'm in my 60s or 70s. Is this heavy work?

Almost none of it. Most methods are a bucket, a jar, a cloth, a handful of ash. The heaviest job in the book is digging a hole for earth storage, and it's optional. My grandmother ran every one of these methods into her 80s.

What format is it? Are there monthly fees?

A single illustrated PDF, delivered by email within 60 seconds of purchase through Hotmart. Read it on anything, print it if you like. One payment of $37. No subscription, no app, nothing else to buy.

What if it isn't for me?

Seven-day money-back guarantee, handled directly through Hotmart. If the manual doesn't pay for itself, ask for the refund and you'll get every dollar back. The knowledge stays with you either way.
