Cooking, some gardening and foraging, food preservation, some repairs, and, of course, swordfighting.
@RamenCatholic@mindly.social I have been learning to make a wider variety of nutritious foods and beverages from a few dry beans or seeds.

Problem-solving skills. I can make a lot of things work with whatever junk is around. And whoooboy do I have junk.
I've also got a full copy of Wikipedia and other various useful Wikis on my phone ā and a solar-powered battery which can easily keep it charged.

Sew by hand or machine (even treadle!)
Fix most non-electric mechanical objects
Run electrics
Make things out of wood
Cook over a fire

Fish (& catch)

Don't freak out when the power is out

@RamenCatholic@mindly.social
I can dry stack and lay (w/mortar) field stone and brick. I can also do basic carpentry (framing), plumbing, and electrical work. I can successfully repair cars made prior to the intervention of our robot overlords. I can play stringed and brass musical instruments, and read/write/compose music. I am able to code in several languages, as well as design & manage databases. I'm pretty good at learning languages.
And I have a wicked good sense of humor. š![]()
@RamenCatholic@mindly.social I can grow plants in warm climates. Probably cold too, if I had to. Iām also good at cat care, building stuff, and fixing things.
@Jason844@mastodon.social I'll go fishing with you, if you clean the catch. And help me put together my fishing equipment in the garage. (And make sure I pick up a license if we go before society falls).
@weirdofhermiston@toot.cat we'll have to get you the supplies and plans to build a greenhouse on wheels, eh?
@chessert@mastodon.online you're gonna be sooo busy teaching people how to make & repair important things. Excellent survival strategy!
