Nice- article about your post-Apocalyptic skill set! Good find. Have done most on that list except hunting, making cider or soap. Have made LOTS of cheese, kefir and kombucha and kapusta. The fermented foods are a must IMO.

Those items sound exactly like the recommendations that Robert Heinlein's fictional character "Lazarus Long" suggested in his sci-fi novels. Of course he was talking about colonizing new planets, but still the same skill set is required................ ========================================================================= A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyse a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects. — Robert Heinlein, [Lazarus Long] Time Enough for Love
