Welcome to FORGOTTEN SKILLZ!
We are a community for local Long Island friends who want to explore the skills that helped our ancestors become self-sufficient, including experimental archaeology, bushcraft, foraging, cooking, woodworking, homesteading, & more.
We believe in the practice of generalism. We are not survival specialists, though we do practice our survival skills and bushcraft basics. We are not preppers, though we do like to prepare for emergencies, both natural and human-made . We are not farmers or off-grid homesteaders, though we do prefer to live as much as possible without outside influence.
As generalists, we endeavor to become better than 80% of people at a wide variety of skills and topics. We will spend some time specializing in one area or another to gain proficiency, but we often then move on to the next area of discovery. Our goal is to be able to survive and thrive as a community, no matter what, but to also carry with us enough general knowledge (and skill) to be able to point specialists in the right direction. We are indeed jacks of all trades.
