Think of the basics: food, clothing and shelter. Better add the ability to shoot your guns and hit what you shoot at. Most everything else is details.

Food: prepare ground for planting, plant seeds or whatever, keep the critters, weeds and disease from eating your food, harvest, cook, save, prepare seeds or whatever for next year. Each of these has a level or two or three of detail below that. Similar for animals.

Clothing: Unless you die of some other cause, the clothes you have now may be all you need for the first year. Then you can probably scavenge whatever clothes and footwear you need. If you don’t have enough clothes then you better start hitting the garage sales. Detail: spinning thread from cotton or wool. Build a loom and make cloth. Sew clothes, make shoes, boots, hats, coats, etc. More details.

Shelter: house for you, barn and fencing for animals, greenhouse, chicken coop, various pens. More details.

You better have books that tell you how to do all of these things and a whole lot more. For books, start here.
