This shit always makes me laugh. I'm not saying nuclear war isn't going to set us back tech-wise, but damn we aren't going to forget everything. This isn't Men in Black. We have books. Building a kiln and making pottery isn't hard. That's a few thousand year advancement on pine needle basket weaving. My bet is if the electricity goes down and 90+% of us are wiped out, it won't be more than a few years before small clusters of electricity are back online. Stop watching movies.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79039115 Building that kiln is not easy. Especially without fire bricks. But it can be done.
After you get it built, you've got to fire it. What are you gonna use?
Wood? Takes a lot. Ever fired a kiln with wood, before?
It's an all day and all night job. Not for the weak or faint of heart.
What would you glaze your pottery with?
Got any special recipes? Any that are SIMPLE to make, out of readily available material? Got lots of salt?
People like to say lots of things are EASY.
I've tried self sufficiency before.
I don't EVER want to have to do it, for real.
But, I can.
