End of the World Skilz
 

you got any? What would you like to learn? I'm talking about survival, subsistence, self-reliance, jack/jill-of-all-trade, life skills.

I have very few. I can cook, but my cooking skills with open fires are limited. I can/could crochet a blanket or (possibly) garments out of fabric scraps. I can teach basic English and reading. I can take care of children and babies.

I'd like to learn how to grow food, especially hydroponically. Make candles.

I can move well through rough country, track animals (never killed one), choose good campsites, make campfires, find water.
I can kludge repairs to vehicles and McGyver stuff.

I cannot hunt, farm, or grow food.

I will outlast civilisation as long as my stash of tinned food lasts. About two weeks. Then I starve.

I can build, grow, kill stuff, raise critters, cut wood, but there are no guarantees in the survival game...

I can make paper from old paper, leaves, rags.

I can write porn. That's a life skill, innit?

I'm pretty much golden, I can do just about everything I'd need to do to survive. I could use a brush up on my evasion techniques vis a vis electronic surveillance, but the obvious analog stuff I'm good with.

But let's say you went camping and you forgot your sleeping bag and you had to share a sleeping bag with the person you went camping with and the next morning you awoke to find...

One pornographer is enough, Foot3.

Well, I wasn't really counting that as a survival skill, per se...

and I take it you don't fancy going camping with me either?

Sheldon? :bolt:

I don't know. I haven't tried to catch a fish with string and a bent paper clip.Would it work? Would I remember to even carry string and paper clip with me against the day?
I hope someone would be worried about me if I did. lol



Yes, I would love to learn those things. REAL survival skills.

I'm actually going after more general, practical, sustainable skills, than apocalyptic survival strategies. Like a trade or a craft. Woodworking, sewing, food preservation--foxfire skills.

Well I can fish , hunt , do some basic Black smith stuff , ive made wine and beer , dont Mind sleeping in a tent , canoe, kyack , Build and tend Many different fires ( yes there IS a difference ) , cut weld and fab steel , Do the grunt work in a garden , survive in Hot , cold and wet weather , shoot , swear , and be generly happy in fucked up situations , take controll in Worse that fucked up conditions and deal with the problem ( generly)
That enough ?

it's plenty. "enuf" is for you to decide.

I can rob from the rich and give to the poor.

I can hide and avoid confrontation
