Do you ever have moments of fear for when most of the people with "folk knowledge" die off and simple living things will fall from our conscious?

I’ve been doing laundry today and reading labels which I rarely bother with. It occured to me if I hadn’t had stories and/or experience then I’d never attempt to put down pillows into a wash machine, hang them in the sun to dry and then beat the hell out of them after to separate and plump the down again. The tag says to dry clean.

I know most of us haven’t ever cooked on a wood burning stove/oven, had to pump and decant water or store foods without refrigeration but what would we do without Home Depot and Cost Co?
