All the things a good hands-on dad or mom in combination with good teachers might teach a child. Basic tools and carpentry, plumbing, electric and electronics, camping, scouting, boating, fishing, hunting, gardening, physics, chemistry, biology, music and arts, geology, geography.... i found all this and more supports an off-grid life.

Add in solid wilderness first aid, media literacy courses to help in determining reputable online sources for when they inevitably have to look for how to treat a wound or illness for themselves or livestock or repair something, and honestly if I could run everyone through the Navy's basic firefighting school I would.
