101 the most useful knowledge and skills when SHTF.
In this article I will try summarize the most useful knowledge and skills when SHTF and also for PA time.
I made this list by alphabetical order on purpose. Everybody has own priorities, different talent, experiences and various possibilities. List consists mostly skills of our grand fathers and grand mothers when was not electricity and they have very limited sources. What was for them natural daily routine, today many of us do not have such skills and to use them today is almost attractive.
Later on I will publish articles to each skill I have in this list. In these articles you will find also links for free download of the literature, manuals and guides.
Of course you do not need to know all of them but more you know better advantage for you, better chance for survival.
Remember Knowledge Weights Nothing.
Your knowledge will not take up any space, no one will steal it from you and you always have it with you for immediate use.
