10 Survival Skills Your Grandmothers Knew, But You Forgot

Your great-grandmother could do 30 things you can't even name.
She didn't call herself a prepper. She didn't watch survival tutorials. She just lived in a world that demanded competence — and she delivered. Every single day.
Now? 83% of adults can't start a fire without a lighter. 76% can't find water within 5 miles of their home. 74% can't sew a button. And nearly 1 in 5 Americans has never cooked a meal from scratch. Ever.
This isn't a history lesson. This is a wake-up call.
Somewhere between the Greatest Generation and now, we made a trade: we swapped resilience for convenience. We outsourced every critical life skill to systems — electric grids, supply chains, smartphones, delivery apps. And it worked beautifully. Until you realize how fast it all falls apart.
One solar storm. One cyberattack. One prolonged blackout. And suddenly, everything you depend on vanishes. Your refrigerator becomes an expensive box. Your phone becomes a glass brick. Your tap becomes a dry pipe. And you're left standing there with nothing but the skills in your hands.
How many do you actually have?
In this video, we're going through the critical survival skills that every competent adult knew just two generations ago — skills that have been quietly disappearing from human knowledge while you weren't paying attention. Some of them will surprise you. Some will make you uncomfortable. And at least one will make you realize just how dangerously dependent you've become.
The chain of knowledge broke. The question is whether you'll rebuild your link — or hope the systems hold forever.
