What’s Your Go-To Skill for Grid Down Survival?

[MeadowWhisperer]

When the grid goes down, I’m betting hard on my gardening and food preservation skills. Curious what single skill others here are prioritizing—firecraft? Water purification? Something else? I’m always thinking about what skill most folks overlook till it’s too late.

Water purification jumps right to the top of my list. You can have all the canned goods in the world but if you can’t make water safe, it’ll catch up with you fast. I keep extra filters and practice boiling/solar methods too—never hurts to have backups. Ever tried making your own charcoal filter from scratch? Feels like one of those skills that’ll matter more than we think.
