I learned to make bread. It's cliche but if shit hits the fan, flour water and oil last forever.

Edit: also cardio. I only started running to be valuable to socialism. Good cardio can go a long way

Bread making is fun! My fiancé is the baker though, we make sourdough. Cardio hurts, but I've been trying to work it in!

Cardio is ass but it's unfortunately important.

I know... also working on being less weak in general so I can be more useful in a revolution!

Defense and basic medic stuff can go a long way too! First aid, cpr, self dense etc.

I've been meaning to sign up for classes! I have CPR training but first aid and self defense are on my list.
