I suppose it would be mostly practical skills, cooking, fixing things. Usually had to be done by people themselves.

Maybe also mental things like navigating (with or without paper map) and remembering their daily and weekly agendas.

What other things would be a big difference with the people today?

Uhh.. not that I'm any good at it, but tying knots.

    I only know some basic knots.
    What I do know are some shoelace knots, like this fastest shoe knot. (this website in general has a lot of interesting information on shoelacing)

    That might be fast, but it doesn't look very secure... the surgeon's knot seems better for actually staying up.
