I think we might be lacking a few skillsets but with books and hard work we could make a go. I'm pretty well versed in agriculture and could handle the basics of growing food, animal based agriculture and have even milked a cow or three. I've slaughtered and procesed my own meat so that wouldn't scare me. I know which end of the hammer to swing and could be semi-handy if pressed into service. I also know my way around a lab setting pretty darn well so manufacturing biodiesel and the like would be up my alley as well. Unfortunately I've gotten lazy and haven't used my more physical skillsets for a while. I guess i'd have to come out of retirement. Any pilots on the list? How about some mechanically inclined people? Medical professionals? Anyone know how to set up an off the grid solar or wind power system? --- In scifino...@yahoogroups..com <mailto:scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com> , "Tracey de Morsella" <tdli...@...> wrote: > > I hate "reality" tv, but maybe this would be good.
