These kind of skills will give you a heads up over your fellow man if an 'event' was to occur.

That's why I chose to do them. I have a hand crank stitcher I just paid $2500.00 for. Also started blacksmithing. Have a coal forge and tools. 2 anvils and even hand cranked blowers and grinders. If power goes out I am still able to make stuff to barter.
