What to know about off-grid skills

Skills that work when the grid does not

When stores, pharmacies and phone networks go down, what you know matters as much as what you stored. This section covers off-grid communication such as ham radio, and plant-based remedies people have long used for minor problems.

Herbal information here is for education only, not medical advice. See a doctor for anything serious whenever you can.

Do I need a license for ham radio?

In the US, you need an FCC license to transmit on amateur bands. You can listen without one.

Can herbs replace medicine?

No. Some plants can help with minor problems, but they are not a substitute for professional care.
