I do like to grind my wheat and make bread and sprout the wheat and beans, but being single and lazy, I only do it for short periods every few years, just to keep familiar with it.

I will get on a jag of making candy and yogurt, marshmallows, making beer, doing the wheat thing, sprouting, making fresh pasta, liqueurs, curd cheese, sauerkraut, pickles, canning, and so on, but then put the stuff away and not do it for years at a time.

That's great. You're ahead of me. I'm in the process of learning how to make cheese, but have never done pickles or sauerkraut. Just that you know how to do it when need be is good enough. Doing all that wouldn't leave you any free time! I figure during a survival situation, I'll be working 18 hours a day and still just be hanging on from day to day. I need to get in good physical shape, to be ready ;)
