The second free publication I'm featuring is actually a magazine, not a book: Bulletin of Primitive Technology, first issue. At 52 pages, though, it rivals much of what is being published today as e-books. The only thing that makes it a magazine is the variety of articles. Some are deeply philosophical, others are intensely practical. The magazine is no longer being published, but the material has been collected into several books put out by the Society for Primitive Technology (which are not free).

Old School Warmth
The Wood Trekker has an in-depth discussion on Classic Backpacking Gear - Blankets. Sometimes the old ways are better, but in the case of wool blankets in the period from 1880 to 1930, it really was a case of just doing the best they could with what they had. That's still a good attitude to have, but it doesn't mean that we should blindly copy their results.
