25 BANNED Survival Skills – The Ultimate Medieval Manual

Become a member for more content on Medieval Wisdom here 👇    / @medievalwisdom   ======================================= In 1184, England's Forest Laws made basic survival knowledge a capital crime. Gathering deadwood, foraging wild plants, setting snares—punishable by execution, blinding, or castration. The Crown didn't just restrict access to forests. They made the knowledge itself illegal. Medieval peasants risked death to practice these 25 techniques. Today, many remain restricted in national parks and protected lands. But the methods still work better than modern alternatives. This compilation covers every survival category: foraging techniques that sustained villages through famine, water purification methods used for millennia, fire-starting skills that required no matches, heating strategies for brutal winters, and preservation techniques that stored food for months. No modern supply chains. No permission needed. Just knowledge that kept people alive for centuries—and can still save your life when everything else fails.
