Haha, it's true that making your own bread has many advantages, as do many other things for that matter.

As someone who takes bread very seriously (after all, it's ingrained in my French heritage), I have to say that your bread looks amazing. I'm writing down the recipe.

I think happiness lies in mastering simple things:

Knowing how to build things yourself, like a house or a garden.
Knowing how to bake bread.
Knowing how to fish.

These are the basics of survival. The other things seem more superficial to me. To be perfectly honest, I don't know how to do any of these things yet.

I agree! I read this comment this morning and on the way back from a surf I was thinking about this. I'd swap out fishing (because it's boring, haha, and it's so overfished these days) for foraging for wild seasonal foods and maybe trapping rabbits or something if push came to shove. Plus a good knowlede of herbalism!

Thus, in sum:

Knowing how to build things like a shelter or a vegetable garden
Knowing what wild foods to eat or that are medicine
Knowing how to hunt/fish if push came to shove
Knowing how to bake bread and preserve food ie pickles and ferments
Knowing how to harvest honey!

I completely agree, and as far as fishing and hunting are concerned, it's absolutely essential that they're used when necessary.

I don't know much about it, but I think there's something to be said for regulation. Given that we've killed the main animals that were dangerous for us, the latter can no longer hunt those lower down the food chain. So we have to do it.

But that's as far as I'd go, because I don't really know anything about it. Anyway, I agree with all your points and I think that's what we need to concentrate on for a happy life.
