definitely the true survivalists set as you can live like a person with the old skills.
great reading and once i started by finding the first volume i had to go get every one. i still read them while squatting.
some or all is free on the net so a great way to get a feel for it. it can make a city person well rounded for sure.
"Insist on yourself; never imitate. Your own gift you can present every moment with the cumulative force of a whole life's cultivation; but of the adopted talent of another, you have only an extemporaneous, half possession. That which each can do best, none but his Maker can teach him. No man yet knows what it is, nor can, till that person has exhibited it."
--Emerson, from "Self-Reliance"
