(Before It's News)
~~I’ve always contended that our forefathers forgot more than most of us will ever know. Things like canning, sewing and soap making were just another chore. Most people think that these old arts are too hard to master. I don’t have the patience or the time to pour hours into learning a new craft. I know some of the purists will find my attitude blasphemous, but when it comes to TSHTF, I advocate being a jack of all trades and master of none. A dozen basic skills trumps one or two really polished ones. When it comes to saponification (soap making) I truly admire those that are artists, but for the rest of us, if you can bake a cookie, you can make soap. It is simple, easy, inexpensive and fun… what could be better.
