Taken my thinking, my means of survival

What are some good compendiums of subsistence-level skills/resources available online?

I have the army survival manual and the encyclopedia of country living, etc., and I'm interested in stuff that covers the ground between them, like tips and tricks for getting by when I'm not yet stuck under a lean-to evading the marauders, but gas is rationed, food distribution systems are slow or failing, things are falling apart but not obliterated. For example, clear descriptions of basic mechanical engineering and construction for useful applications, the kind of stuff that I'd just google unless my service provider or the powerlines go down. (I've read previous responses to similar questions, and got some good stuff, but I figure there's ever more available online) Thanks in advance.

Response by poster: (Of course the idea is I'll download and print the good stuff so I have a hard copy).
