You ought to check out a similar thread on the SS forum! Folks over there are keeping track of new skills learned and are trying to add to their portfolio of skills.

We also have a Squirrel Challenge contest on how much food/firewood/livestock on the hoof/feed, etc. one can squirrel away before the winter.

I'll help you learn to knit if you help me learn to crochet. My grandma taught me to knit, but crochet was way out of my league!

I have a load of doilies that my grandma made and my mind just boggles. I miss her - the other day I smelled something and it reminded me of her homemade marshmallows.

You were coming to cook whilst I use power tools to build the new coop anyway, right

Of course, then we can whip up some pot holders after dinner whist we gossip like old hens..... (pins up her hair into a bun, and grabs a whisk) "Now did you hear about my sister, bless her heart; well I heard that..." *

*footnote, still working on the right level of southern sass for this sort of thing.
