You beat me to it. Couldn't agree more. I always tell anyone willing to listen, that when the sh*t hits the fan, they will want me by their side. "Yeah right' immediatly appears on their faces. They probably cannot imagine me as a post- apocalyptic MacGyver with an encyclopedia sized knowledge of life hacks from hundreds of years ago. Well they must just wait and see. My moment of glory, if not imminent, is at least a certainty at some future time.

[@cristiaolson7327]

@@stephanterblanche4597 I constantly joke that I'd have probably made a great prepper if I actually thought things would ever go *that* sideways. I just really enjoy doing things myself, preserving old knowledge and techniques, and being moderately self-sufficient. There's something both gratifying and wholesome about knowing you made, grew or otherwise provided for yourself, and being able to do something "the old fashioned way" means you can bypass a lot of our reliance on pre-made items. I can hand-spin, and have both the knowledge and tools to go from a raw plant or an animal fiber to a garment. I have a massive organic garden, and once I buy property I'll start raising livestock again. I know how to make a surprising number of medicinal items. I do woodworking, and I work in construction so I know how to build a safe & sturdy structure. I understand how to process a lot of useful compounds. All for the love of learning and diy. Still, my friends joke back with me that if the world does ever go to heck in a handbasket, they're coming to my house.

I don't know if Zoe formally thanked Fern for taking on the boar's head all by herself or not, maybe that clip didn't make it to the video. But if she wasn't going to help, she could at least just sit there and not look, as opposed to continuously glancing over and whimpering as if she were the one doing the skinning. I've skinned a few animals (part of my biology degree), and eventually found it very fascinating and rewarding once I'd succeeded, just like Fern felt at the end. But yes it's pretty intense at first, before you get the hang of it. For me the stomach-to-throat nausea wasn't even the worst part (though it was there for sure); it was the full-body tension of forcing myself to do continue doing something carefully and methodically, when I wanted to just rush through to get it over with, or stop completely. You must look closely rather than look away, grip firmly rather than let go. Incidentally one of the grossest aspects was how the cold flesh felt through latex gloves, so on that first animal (an otter) I took the gloves off about midway through the skinning, touched the squishy moist flesh directly, and it was actually much better, also easier in the practical sense, no more slipping around. But I still started off with severe "ickies" with each subsequent animal (mink, opossum, field rat, bat). And I tell you, if there had been someone there making it worse with little noises erupting out of them repeatedly, I would have blown up at them and told them to get the F away, if this was so "hard" for THEM. Fern has my utmost respect now.

The focus on the urine for the laundry kinda bothers me, because in this era they absolutely would have used soap for laundry, made of potash and/or lye. A big house like this might even have had the fancy sort made with olive oil, for washing the lady's garments! Soap was in fact, originally, *solely* a laundry thing, because the ingredients were too caustic to use on skin for personal hygiene. I'm not saying the urine thing was untrue, but i do think that having it be the only component of the laundry process is more than a bit sensationalist. The only other interpretation I can think of is that the caustic ingredients might be too dangerous for people unused to them to handle - but urine doesn't exactly score highly in health and safety either, so...
