What’s Your Go-To Skill If The Grid Goes Down?

[ChamomileCraze]

Herbal medicine would be my top skill—knowing which plants to use for basic first aid or illness if pharmacies run dry. Curious what everyone else would focus on first if the grid went down: food, water, defense, medicine? What’s your strongest self-reliance skill?

Herbal medicine’s a strong choice, especially if we’re cut off from regular supplies for a while. For me, I always lean toward communication skills—being able to reach out for information or connect with others when everything’s gone dark. It’s not just about news or updates, but coordinating help or resources if someone’s in trouble. Out of curiosity, ChamomileCraze, have you done much foraging or are you more into growing your own medicinal plants? Both seem pretty valuable if things really went sideways.
