Lets look at this because it wont do any harm, Can anyone care to start a list of useful books on the very basics of pre industrial age living skills or how to access said knowledge.
For example the BBC has run a very good series with Ruth whats her name doing series like Victorian / Edwardian/ Geogian Farming and is currently doing one in a Castle set in France, its called Secrets of the Castle I think. The BBC often do produce books to back up their educational shows often along side the OU
Also if you look at the Meets and Events at the top of SUK forums you will see a list of skill courses and demonstrations of ancient trad sklls on offer at the Wilderness Gathering.
So lets ENCOURAGE those who wish to prep for iron age or dark age skills and technologies lets help find out hat we can, it still does not mean to have to agree with them but at least you can find out more for yourselves.
