What are some skills that can be turned into hobbies that would be good for a Leftist to know? (hexbear.net)

Like the title! I want to cultivate some helpful skills but do so gradually, as a hobbyist. Tempted to get into lockpicking, haha.

Oh yeah if you got a knife or a sharp rock you can just scrape off plastic shavings off the lighter to get the small tinder pile set up along with grinding the flint a bit for some of that sweet sparky sparky dust to give it that extra oomph

Oh, didn't know that part! That's handy in a pinch, if there's no dry wood to scrape up into dust.
