Has anyone thought about what other skills, talents, etc may be needed in the event of a long-term survival need, like the red-dawn-zombie-apocalypse? So many items we use in every day life (bread, cheese, yogurt, butter, knives, washing machines, dish washers, clean water, hot water etc) used to be made hand or done by hand. Electricity,grocery stores and so forth made the need for these skills almost obsolete. What do you think will be important? Useful? or a necessity?
I figure in the event of the red-dawn-zombie-apocalypse, I'm going to useless in hunting and cleaning game and I'm a terrible gardnerer, I will need to earn my keep another way. So, I've been learning how to make yogurt and I've been keeping a sour dough bread starter going (though, I think I need to start over). Both are pretty easy and I've been reading up on cheese making and trying to figure out how to make whey butter. Hopefully, that will be helpful.
