Grilling meat is not a bad skill to have, along with baking bread, growing your own food in the garden, knowing how to sew on a button, pack your own shotgun loads, make a batch of jelly, etc.

On bread, ever do a sourdough starter? Easy to find a recipe with Google. It is a fool proof way to make lovely bread that has some taste. Even I can do it. My wife assures me that makes me a fool. She may be on to something.

Also, if you plan to go underground, get a good stock of curing salt and regular salt. We must preserve our PORK FAT!

Sourdough and Amish Friendship Bread are my faves. :)

I do a sourdough starter, but has anyone made yeast from potatoes?

Bypasses the packaged variety. I know potatoes can be used instead of yeast starter, but I don't know how.

I have a feeling your wife and I have different reasons for considering you a fool........my reason is that you like sourdough bread. I consider my husband a fool for liking the stuff.
