Have you read the Foxfire books? They were a project that a high school history class did in the 70s which asked all the older people in the area about their rural childhood. This place was still pretty rural so in reality what they got was how the hell the world used to work before modern technology made it what it is today. The first book covers "Hog Dressing, Log Cabin Building, Mountain Crafts and Foods, Planting by the Signs, Snake Lore, Hunting Tales, Faith Healing, Moonshining, and Other Affairs of Plain Living". It is the instruction manual for restarting society. Combine with the Open Source Ecology Project and you got a stew going baby.
