Traditional Skills

[Raellus]

I discovered the wilderness survival reality show Alone (History Channel) this summer and it got me thinking about how underprepared most 21st folks are to weather a long-term breakdown of modern civilization. With very little manufacturing going on, and electricity a luxury most people in 2000 no longer have, what are some traditional skills- skills that used to be important and common, but that have become much less so in the modern world- that would be valuable in the world of T2k?

Off the top of my head,

Hunting/fishing
Gardening
Tanning
Smoking (meat)
Canning
Woodworking/Carpentry
Weaving
Identifying edible and medicinal wild plants
Pottery

These skills also seem strangely lacking from the v1 and v2.2 skill lists.

Which of these do you think would be most important to have? Which would be easiest/hardest to pick up by a novice? What are some others that are missing from this list?
