     It's been a while, but I can render fat (gross) and make lye soap.

     @RamenCatholic I can cook a great meal with varied ingredients that may not be as fresh as you'd like. I mean, I don't currently dumpster dive, but if we had to, I could make a meal from it.

     Historically valuable skills. Rendering fat isn't that gross: just melt it slowly down in a crock pot.

     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. 🙂

     @Jason844 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).

     @chessert handling raw meat, fat, etc... is super gross to me. Icky.

     Cooking, some gardening and foraging, food preservation, some repairs, and, of course, swordfighting.
