Things that need to be relearned
I can think of a few, like canning food, farming, digging wells, etc....
I am thinking this would be a good thread to discuss how to's
Digging wells and using the ground to filter water.

Wells are extremely important to all societies. In many places wells provide a reliable and ample supply of water for home uses, irrigation, and industries. Where surface water is scarce, such as in deserts,people couldn't survive and thrive without ground water.

Canning food
Quote:
What does canning do?
Canning is an important, safe method for preserving food if practiced properly. The canning process involves placing foods in jars or similar containers and heating them to a temperature that destroys micro-organisms that cause food to spoil. During this heating process air is driven out of the jar and as it cools a vacuum seal is formed. This vacuum seal prevents air from getting back into the product bringing with it contaminating micro-organisms.
Making a well takes a lot of human power because the ground gets harder the deeper you go, I know this because I helped make one some 22 years ago that was 120 feet deep.
The problem is they get abused and with population increase they slowly drain, plus ground water in a well is very easy to poison which does happen.
We should be collecting rain water and filtering out the chunks if any
