Farmer Boy returned early!

Darn it. The mister turned in my book, at the library, by accident. I can't find any more life skills from the pioneering days. 

Here's one I am remembering, though.

• bullet making. 

Pa would make enough bullets for the following day at night, after supper. (Little House series book 1).  

Here us my question. When did people stop knowing how to make bullets? When did it all go corporate? Eventually? All at once? That's a question for another time.
