100 SKILLS
The Old-Timer Skills Handbook
100 Practical Skills for Camp, Home, Workshop & Homestead
$19$39
Forgotten American Skills
Five field manuals spanning campcraft, vanishing trades, hand-tool repair, food preservation, and homestead skills — craft, tradition, and resilience on every page.
I. The Collection
Old-timer handbook, vanishing trades, hand-tool repair, food preservation, and frontier camping — every guide built for self-reliance with simple tools.
100 Practical Skills for Camp, Home, Workshop & Homestead
Beginner Projects in Wood, Leather, Rope, Metal & Repair
II. Skills Costs
Old-timers learned by doing — without weekend workshops, contractor calls, or big-box tool mistakes. Store prices moved. The math of self-reliance did not.
Typical classes, kits, and service calls
Same skills, simple tools, lasting value
III. Inside Each Book
Five hundred skills across five manuals. Each guide carries step-by-step instructions, checklists, and the quiet frontier tip that rarely made it into a modern how-to blog.

IV. From Workshops & Homesteads
4,820+ readers. Three workshops. Three different reasons they stopped paying for what their grandparents knew free.
★★★★★I picked up Old-Timer Skills Handbook first and had results the same afternoon. Ordered the full library before the week was out.
★★★★★Clear, no-nonsense writing. Exactly what I expected from Forgotten American Skills — useful from page one.
★★★★★The bundle paid for itself faster than I thought. Hand-Tool Repair Bible alone was worth the purchase.
