About Human Skills

Human Skills is a free guide to the practical skills people used to learn from a parent or a neighbour: first aid, finding and treating water, fire, shelter, growing food, keeping food safe, fishing and foraging.

It is made by PG App Studios, a small independent studio in the Algarve, Portugal. Everything is free to read. We earn a small commission when you buy recommended gear through our Amazon links, which keeps the site free.

Every lesson is written for beginners, in plain language, in six languages. Safety comes first: where a skill can hurt you, the warnings come before the instructions.
