Hi All,
Fairly new here although been lurking for a while. I have a question....and I do apologize if this has been asked many times before.
What do you think are the top three absolute essential skills that are best to learn right now, before any TEOTWAWKI situation is on the horizon? I have been arguing backwards and forwards with a work colleague today and we came up with a list that seemed ok for our situation:
1. Water purification
2. Food production from scratch (regular soil-based or hydroponics)
3. Basic first aid
Of course this is by no means definitive. I didn't think about personal protection (firearms and such) or alternative power supplies, but just the absolute necessities that you would need regardless of whether you possess guns or generators (my theory was that even if you have firearms, you still need to eat and drink, and you could have the best power supply in the area but if you are bleeding profusely and don't know how to treat it, electricity won't be much help.)
I know I am an absolute beginner to this whole prepping lifestyle, so I hope my lack of basic knowledge isn't too offensive to you experienced preppers! What are your top 3 skills?
