Who knows when those “old fashion” survival tips were created? Was it in our father’s, our father’s father, or even Great-Great Grand-Daddy’s youth? The point is what was once old is now new again – especially for a prepper.
During this time, when homesteaders, survivalists, and preppers are waiting for the grid to go down, we need those long lost skills to aid us when the power is out, for possibly weeks at a time!
On the next page we have seven easy but surprisingly forgotten tips on how to do every day, simple jobs.
Comically, these skills came from notes inside cigarette packs back in the day! Who knew something so dangerous could be so helpful?
After the break learn about some long lost survival skills that need to be resurrected again!

this first one is TERRIBLE advice… you end up with dented end nippers, if you use them that way….
No, it is the appropriate way. How would wood dent steel?
Turn the tool to the side and you dont need the distans at all…..
I have one of those vintage nail pullers and it works great.
Dampness in a bed? Huh? Doesn’t a hand work as well?
Need a very sharp knife and a steady hand

I look at things like this and wonder how people DON’T know this kind of stuff.
I use this skill everyday
This stuff really isnt lost unless ur talkin to fucktards
So that tool there is for pulling nails ?
Even can be used for nippers for some stuff.
We all hate the stupid…so very much… somehow we grew up and have manners now….why…im not sure… you hurt my brain… the dumb I canna take.
Lost if yere an idiot, or a white collar worker. Either way, I assure you, these survival hacks are well and workin.
Wire cutters in a pinch
Nicole McCloskey Sicking
Um,I use this stuff all the time. Not forgotten, just misplaced.lol
Have three sets of these,with different handle lengths.very handy nail pulleys.
Pullers
Let’s see if there’s an app for that
Really?
I was thinking the same thing.
The one about splinters I’m definitely going to try !!!
Still have one in my tool box, saves hammer handles.
It will cut them off also if it won’t go all the way in

No app! Common sense old school…
Not lost, people just need to slow down a bit and think. Problem 1 is no one will slow down.
Ive used them to pull staples, nails even used them to twist out screws with stripped heads. There is a thousand different uses for them. They are quite handy.
