I have good news and bad news. The bad news is, you’re way off . . . Foxfire has nothing to do with the Whole Earth Catalog genre. The good news is that the Foxfire books are a national treasure, still available, preserving a record of the traditional culture of southern Appalachia. Check out Foxfire here: http://www.foxfire.org/index.html

jay,

Is Elliot Wiggington still living? Did he get out of the troubles he had with Foxfire???

Sorry, I guess I wasn't clear on my comment.
I didn't mean they were affiliated. Just that they both came about in approximately the same time frame and that they both dealt with items of self-sufficiency and life skills past on from prior generations.
I just seemed to recall them being contemporaneous of a sort.
Heck, it was a long time and maybe a few chromosomes ago.
