The Practical Manual Series — Complete Four-Book Set

Four complete illustrated manuals, covering the skills that work when the power doesn't.

Map Reading & Land Navigation — 63 pages, 24 diagrams. Find your way with a map and compass, from zero.

Cold Weather & Winter Survival — 50 pages, 15 diagrams. How cold kills, and how to stop it.

Root Cellaring & Winter Food Storage — 48 pages, 15 diagrams. Keep your harvest fresh for months with no freezer.

Knots, Hitches & Lashings — 33 pages, 14 diagrams. The twenty knots that do almost all the work.

Each is adapted from public-domain United States government field manuals and agricultural literature, rewritten in plain English and illustrated throughout. No jargon, no padding, no assumed experience — and every one of them tells you the limits of what it teaches.

Together they cover the four things that matter most when you're on your own: knowing where you are, staying warm, having something to eat, and being able to secure, join, and build with rope.
