I suppose it would be mostly practical skills, cooking, fixing things. Usually had to be done by people themselves.
Maybe also mental things like navigating (with or without paper map) and remembering their daily and weekly agendas.
What other things would be a big difference with the people today?
Absolutely. Most of these that I know are down to either dumb luck or being blessed with too much free time when I was younger. And I guess being blessed with many hand-me-downs.
Yes. I’m really thankful for that.
I feel that I had it pretty easy, as a child; but sometimes I recognize that parts of the way I was raised are because of hard times seen by people who raised me.
