Prepare a simple repair kit
Keep familiar tools and the right manuals together.
Inventory the small repairs you already know how to perform safely, then choose the matching hand tools, fasteners and protective equipment.
Store manufacturer manuals for critical equipment offline and label parts so a replacement can be identified accurately.
Leave gas, live electrical, structural and other hazardous work to qualified people. Do not treat a general reference article as a repair authorization.
Keep a copy you can open.
One small HTML reading file. Opens in a browser without extra software. No maps or personal records included; source links need internet.
Save this small HTML reading file to your Desktop or USB. Reopen the actual file with internet disconnected. Source links require internet; maps and private records are separate.
