Do you think its possible that...

I love this idea.

I think that my thing is in the past. I am jealous of the days of previous centuries when people could catalogue the stars with a simple telescope, or catalogue animal/plant species.

Peter, there are lots of things, like flint knapping which I only used as an example that are still needed, mostly iin the heritage sector for repairing old flint walled buildings. There are lots of things that are really skilled and those skills are in danger of dying out because nobody does them anymore. Things like thatching, coppicing, dry stone walling, but where does anyone go to learn these things? Especially if one lives in a city and has no nearby agricultural college where inspiration may be gained, how many schools or careers advisors would even think about suggesting such things. Even basketry an old craft is making a huge comeback due to people's preference for basket coffins as eco friendly and renewable, there's a real market for those skills, but where would one find out about them and would one be laughed at or discouraged by careers advisors Is there any funding for learning such skills?
