Best Skills to Learn for Total Grid Down Survival?

If we lose the grid for good, what skills do you think would be absolutely essential? Obviously fire-making, water purification, and first aid come to mind, but I’m curious if there are more overlooked ones folks are focusing on. Things like herbal medicine, canning, or even basic animal husbandry? What are you personally prioritizing, and why? Looking to fill some gaps in my own training.
 
Canning and basic wound care are non-negotiable for me, honestly. Anyone here actually tried tanning hides for clothing or shelter? Seems tricky but maybe worth learning.
