Skills and Making money after the Collapse.

[Ahkenaten]

I told my family and friends to forget their fancy gadgets and all the high-tech stuff and remember the shovel, pick, rake and hoe.

So true, we won't need an economy as much as we need to have a community with enough different skill sets to help maintain a community.

Now is the time to polish or acquire skills. the more the better. the more variety the better too.

Imagine the change has happened long enough for all your clothes need mending or replacement. Can you sew or find someone who does. Do you have fabric, thread or even scissors? General knowledge of making a pair of pants, shirt or skirt?

Now is the time to haunt garage sales for useful items that can be used in a pinch.

Locate all the different skill sets within your circle and see what is still necessary...either learn it yourself or find someone in your circle more suited to learning that skill.

And don't count out those old folks. I'm married to one, and he still surprises people with what that old office worker type knows to do. Think McIver.
