A visual field guide to what we ought to know how to do, and what we'd like to learn how to do, from beloved craftsmanship-focused online shop Kaufmann Mercantile.

Kaufmann Mercantile thoughtfully curates and sells timeless products for slow living, with a focus on functionality, quality, and craftsmanship. Building from that philosophy, The Kaufmann Mercantile Guide is an everyday, accessible reference book for the utilitarian in all of us.

In this comprehensive field guide to life, editors Alexandra Redgrave and Jessica Hundley share Kaufmann Mercantile's collective expertise on 48 helpful life skills that range from what we ought to know how to do, from frying an egg to tying a tie to brewing coffee, to what we'd like to learn how to do, like splitting wood, building a fire, growing our own food, or shucking an oyster.

Organized into five instructional sections (Kitchen, Outdoors, Home, Garden, and Grooming), each is prefaced by an expert and includes original artwork to visually walk you through each "how-to" step. Supplemental sidebars feature the best tool for the job, whether it's a dibber for planting, the best rawhide-and-ash snowshoes, or flammable smoking bags for making authentic BBQ.

This guidebook is a well-considered collection of how-to's, perfect for anyone who wants to live a slow and thoughtful life, or a gift for someone who does.

Good quality
Color: Red
Very sturdy for super chewer dog. Only change I would make is I wish it held more kibble but dog loves it and I don’t worry she will choke on a broken piece when I’m away.

BEST DOG TOY for TREATS EVER!!!!
Color: Brown
If I could have given more than 5 stars, I would have! I had been giving my 70 lb boxer peanut butter in femur bones that I got at the pet store for years. She loved them but the bones would break down from chewing and biting on them. I would have to throw them away when the edges got sharp in fear of cutting my dog's mouth and tongue. This PETSWEET dog toy was the answer. I have been using yogurt, peanut butter and pumpkin so far. I freeze them with the goodies as is suggested. My dog LOVES her evening treat now and I don't worry about sharp edges hurting her mouth. It is washable so more sanitary than the femur bones.

Great for super chewer.
Color: Red
Update to original review: After leaving initial review the seller reached out and asked how to fix it the issue. I was willing to try same product again. They sent me two and I have had no problems with either of the new ones. Great communication from seller. My dog loves the treat In the center and chews on the product forever. She has not been able to get the top off of either of the new ones. Thanks!
