A couple of my grandparents did 2 of these things, I don’t think that urban poor working 16 hours a day in a factory had a lot of time to do these things if they weren’t there full time job.

In reply to betty. People who use the herbs and such call them Home Remedies. The folks who don't use them scoff at their use and say, "Oh that's just an old wive's tale." People tend to ridicule anything that they don't believe or use.

I must consider myself blessed, my mom passed the knowledge to do almost all of it except blacksmithing. And a wooden high heeled shoe makes a decent hammer in a pinch

In reply to Tanir. I like that addition. One can add making sundries: soap, toothpaste, deodorant alternatives, shampoo, laundry and household soaps, medicinal alternatives, starchs, and there are many more. Then there are many alternative Pantry Items to be explored Examples are yeast, startch, soup bases, dehydration of "leftovers and foods/nuts/fruit. The list is vast. .
