[quote:Anonymous Coward 84224322:MV81MjM4Njk5Xzk2NDg1MjE0X0RCRDJFMEMw] [quote:Rev Woo-Woo:MV81MjM4Njk5Xzk2NDg1MDY4XzlFQTFFRTQy] Oh! I do have a handmill for course grinding corn. I could always run my grains through that first and then get it finer by hand. Also invested in a manual oil press. Still haven’t tried it out yet as I’ve been too distracted by other projects.

Not simply skills to survive but also, skills to thrive.
I’ve always had a passion for learning how to do/make things from scratch. I don’t just want to know how to bake bread. I want to grind my own flour and grow my own grain. I don’t just want to sew, crochet and knit. I want grow, process and spin my own fiber and weave my own cloth.
Use technology now, learn as much as you can of skills that have been (nearly) lost.
BTW, has anyone watched any basket weaving tutorials? I want to learn that next!
