I can chop down a tree, build a dam that makes rudimentary electricity out of car parts. I can keep the fridge and a few lights running indefinitely. I can grow beans and tomatoes and pumpkins and peppers. I can build a house out of the wood I cut down with my axe. I can make vinegar out of grapes to preserve food. I can heal you with plants. I can tell you which mushrooms are edible. I can teach you how the human body works and I can dig a hole.
The fox fire books will teach you all kinds of things.
For mushrooms its all about where you live. Go foraging and join a foraging club. There are books but you are best served with a region specific one.
Same with plants, but there are a fee good ones to have generally.

As far as the dam or things like it, you gotta want to understand how things work and go from there. How does a power dam work? Well it takes a generator and spins it with water pressure. So you could take a creek and build a partial wall to force more pressure in a narrower channel and build a water wheel that turns a generator/alternator and connect that to a bank of car batteries and connect that to an inverter to run 110.
