There seemed to be a lot of questions about what would happen if the supply chain broke today... this series explores that issue in a deep way.

if anyone else has any other recommendations in same genre of time travel and re-booting up civilisation it be great to hear! I always found the genre interesting since Jules Verne's Mysterious Island https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/32831.The_Mysterious_Isl...

Another classic one is "Lest Darkness Fall" by L. Sprague de Camp in which an archaeologist is transported to Rome in the year 535 AD.
He also wrote "Ranks of Bronze" which is sort of the reverse idea, a Roman Legion kidnapped by aliens for preindustrial warfare. Absolutely worth a read, and an interesting counterpoint to most of the 'bringing civilization to the barbarians' narrative these stories normally follow.
H. Beam Piper did a bunch too, check out "Lord Kalvan of Otherwhen" if you can find it.
The island of Nantucket goes back to the Bronze Age. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Island_in_the_Sea_of_Time
Most of these books are probably overly optimistic about what one or a small group of smart people who just happen to have to right skill sets could accomplish in such a situation with very limited supply chains.
There's a couple that I know of:

Flint was involved in the Belisarius series (along with David Drake), and Safehold is basically Weber's "reboot" of one of the books in his "Armageddon Moon" series.
If you liked 1632 you will probably like these as they're in a similar vein
