Off-the-grid Skills

A list of some skills you’ll need if you wish to live off-the-grid:

  • Gardening/farming
  • Building
  • Hunting/fishing
  • Canning/smoking/drying
  • Sewing/tanning/weaving

I’d add that you definitely need cooking/baking (fairly obviously) and soapmaking (if you want to be clean). Brewing too would not go amiss—after all, man does not live by bread alone.

Granted, a life of subsistence farming wouldn’t be terribly exciting or fun. Well, except for the excitement of droughts and crop failures.
