    I use worms, minnies, and nightcrawlers mostly. I occasionally use fakin' baits.

    Another skill I would like to have though is fixing things, but it is so far from the capacity of my liberal arts brain!

    Do you trap your own minnows?
    That liberal arts brain drain racket is such a ridiculously huge waste of everyone's time and money!

    I want to learn to, but I have not yet. Cut-bait is easier to acquire. So I will probably go that way first.

    Don't get me wrong, I love the liberal arts. haha But I was lamenting my lack of mechanical aptitude.

    Accepting that most of us won't make it?

    i had the same thought: acceptance, meditation, ability to face one's mortality? carry on ...

    But that's an end of the world situation, if one has merely lost their house, all their money, their livelihood or any means of getting it back. Then maybe the knowledge needed is how to live like a homeless person. Well there are lots of them, so I suppose one could learn how they live, what are their tips and tricks (I'm sure there ARE tips and tricks to making the best of it, but not sure I want to learn them). But homeless people do know how to be without homes or many means, can't deny that, even if it doesn't seem a very desirable lifestyle (funny how most of them choose a lifestyle on the very margins of civilization - could not get more marginalized - rather than out in the woods - not that we encounter the one's who make the latter choice much probably).
