The Practical Manual Series — Complete Ten-Book Collection

The whole series: ten illustrated manuals covering the skills that still work when the power doesn't.

THE FIELD SET Map Reading & Land Navigation · Weather & Sky Signs · Cold Weather & Winter Survival · Field Water & Sanitation · Knots, Hitches & Lashings

THE HOMESTEAD SET Composting & Soil Building · Seed Saving & Plant Breeding · Root Cellaring & Winter Food Storage · Beekeeping & Hive Management · Rigging & Moving Heavy Loads

Know where you are and what the weather is doing. Stay warm, drink safely, and tie things down. Build soil, save seed, keep bees, store the harvest, and move what you cannot lift.

Every title is adapted from public-domain United States government field manuals and agricultural literature, rewritten in plain English and illustrated with diagrams drawn specifically for these books. No jargon, no padding, no assumed experience — and every one states the limits of what it teaches, which is the part most guides leave out.
