What’s Your Go-To Skill for Total Grid Failure?

[StarlitNavigator]

If the grid went down for good tomorrow, my first move would be to fall back on fire-making and water purification skills. I’m always amazed how many folks stock gadgets but forget the basics. Curious what everyone else practices most—navigation without tech, food preservation, small engine repair? If you could only master one hands-on skill for a total grid-down scenario, what would it be and why? Always looking for ideas to add to the workshop curriculum.

Food preservation’s my top pick—especially drying and fermenting—since even a good garden won’t get you far if you can’t store what you grow. Curious, StarlitNavigator, do you use old-fashioned canning or something different?
