I love those suspenders he's wearing!  I agree with NOLA, this guy ought to be given some kind of a medal are something. 

He brings out good points about building a sustainable economy.  Which seems to me would be a local economy.  When watching this you come to realize how important it is for young people to learn how to do something or learn a trade.  If nothing else just to be able to fall back on it.  It's sad, but I know a few guys who don't even know how to change a tire, replace a wall plug, or anything.  They always call outside help to have things done.

If any of you guys fall into that category I'm not putting you down.  Some fathers just don't teach their kids how to do things.  I'm just thinking it would be a good idea to put a little effort into learning how to do at least the simple things.  It's amazing how simple it is to do most things when you find out how.  And you save money to boot.

Yeah, I was in the same boat.  Dad didn't teach me anything except how to duck and weave when he was hitting the bottle.  I don't know how to do everything by any means.  But I learned a lot from DIY books back when I was younger.  Now days you can find out how to do just about anything on line which is really great.

The internet has sure changed things.  From finding info, to dating, to finding people with like interests like you guys.

Thank you Al Gore.   LOL!

Skills buddy.  They're going to be worth their weight in gold.  (or beans)  I'd say your chances of survival are pretty good.   :)

I'm not saying I know how to do all kinds of shit, but I know enough to get by. most of it is just common sense anyway.

I agree that it is important to know how to do things.

If you are interested in wood working you should check out the http://www.pbs.org/woodwrightsshop/ his books are great and the show is even better.

Liberty Tools has great tools for great prices, we would do well to send some business his way, I have.

Thanks a lot for the tip. I looked him and I like the idea of building my own tools. I don't have any foundry equipment yet though...
