Stuff You Should Know


Listen Later

These days, dry cleaners press shirts, industrialized farms grow monocrops, and factories churn out single-use varieties of (nearly) everything. And when a possession looks a little worn or a little torn? Many Americans trash it and buy new without a second thought.


Life can be simpler, more affordable, and downright sweeter when you do things yourself and maintain what you already own. On today's show: Calling on the timeless wisdom of our great grandparents to re-learn specific, self-sufficient skills for the long haul.

 

Here's a preview of the skills we are re-learning today:

[5:30] How to  season your cast iron skillet

[9:30] How to buy local food every week

[21:00] How to best care for your leather footwear
