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?


Good for you.
DIY filter change? $25 give or take depending on the filter. Service company doing it? $100 for the luxury of them arriving, $30 filter, $150 min labor rate to maybe do a service check, then whatever $ for issues they find.
FWIW think it’s good to have pros check stuff once in a while, they’ll see things I won’t know to check.
Definitely agree with having pros check in on stuff I’m not 100% confident in.
