I mentioned in my previous post that knowledge is the one thing that would separate people that could survive an apocalypse and those that wouldn't/couldn't. But which skills, either modern or antiquated would provide the best opportunity for survival? What interesting information is there for the modern individual to learn that could provide both a path to greener living, apocalyptic survival, or just plain fascinating hobby? I have discovered that I personally have a fascination for many crafts. I would include the following basic knowledge or skills:
Woodcutting
Animal husbandry
Beekeeping
Farming/gardening, soil, water knowledge
Spinning, weaving, knit, crochet
Basic blacksmithing (optional)
Candle and soap making
Herbology
Rug and basket weaving
Hunting, skinning, butchery techniques & tanning methods
Food storage and preservation including dehydrating, canning, & preserving
Basic carpentry
And several others
For me, I am very much taken with useful crafts such as candlemaking, soapmaking, spinning, crochet & knit, and more recently, rug braiding.
