If we want to be successful in building 21st century neo-subsistence, we should try to understand life in the 19th and early 20th century. We can then try to sort out what worked then and what works now. Related to these documentaries are "Victorian Pharmacy" and "Tales of the Green Valley", also with Ruth Goodman.
