Any books on living in a cabin with no running water or electricity out in the woods?

Whenever I try to find these sort of survival or whatever you'd call it, all I find is the kind of "extreme survival", just living outside without a cabin, making fires and stuff like that.

I want just a decent book on living without the modern necessities, basically a book on your average cabin life pre-electricity.

How to preserve and ration your fish/meat/berries for the winter, how to build a smoker, how to haul your firewood back to the cabin and those sorts of things.

/out/ is probably a better place to ask for it.

Oh, I guess I forgot some. Drinkin'. See here:

Curry, Pure Beef
Mallman, Seven Fires
McGee, On Food and Cooking

Falk's book is mostly about homestead scale agriculture. Would also recommend general knowledge about electricity and wood framing (dewalt code books), well drilling, firearms, local wildlife, chicken keeping, etc. Just learn to plant and harvest, how to cook, how to use treat and maintain cast iron, and know how to chop wood. Recommending Fiskars X11 for small log gathering and splitting. Hope you've got a water source my dude.

Walden is almost exactly what you are looking for
