I mean real survival, farming, and craftsmanship skills people used to and still live on, not crap like solar panels, building a nuclear bunker, or stocking up on freeze-dried meals.

Buy the complete set of the Foxfire books. Probably get them used if you search. Go to the library and request a few of them and see if they can help you before you spend. Also not a bad idea to know something about wild edibles in your area (beware of plants that are similar looking so you don't poison yourself) many plants have medicinal uses as well. It's interesting and helpful to understand the taxonomy system and meaning of the words used to describe the genus and species, for instance. Some Greek and Latin websites are helpful tools if you are on a budget. Etymology is important. Good luck.

OH, 'real survival'... where energy, shelter and food is irrelevant. Well dummy, if you think a book is going to teach you, "craftsmanship skills" (he's going to sell very nice drawers and cupboards to old ladies) you already have one foot in the grave.

OP joined 3 hours ago and is demanding shit. and not this shit but THAT shit. the good shit, man. i just did a search and found a slew of books and book series about skills for survival and traditional living.
