I am not sure I would count any of those things as pre-industrial, but rather what spurred the industrial.
Blacksmith deffo. Apparently I am from a long line of blackmiths down the Y chromosome (altho have not been able to substantiate that other than finding some very old smithery tools in my cvnt grandad's shed when we cleared the house). Line goes to ireland where they don't have records really...
Do u ever watch those shows on discovery like pawn stars? People who pimp up and restore old biks, motorbikes, juke boxes etc. Realise it is post industrial but fckng ace. the reason i mention it is that they re-kitted an old klondike wagon in one I watched recently and had to beat the wheel into shape.
Being able to kill small, medium and large game with the appropriate weapons, and skin and cut them, store, smoke, cook the said parts (though I'd like to learn that in C21)
Viniculture (C21, as above)
Ride horses, use longbows, crossbows, swords, sabres, lances, maces, axes.
Sitting at the top of the feudal system is a skill because Land Law is nightmare, especially covenants and easements and all that pre-1996 privity of contract and estate; a record-keeping nightmare trying to keep trace of the mesne lords on the estate, tenants, and sub-tenants and villeins. The upside is le droit de seigneur.

I mean anything that was a skill before the Industrial Revolution.
My family were blacksmiths at one point. There's a nearly ruined old smithy in one of the wine-growing regions of Oz known as the Orwell* Smithy.
*Not really Orwell. Natch.

My Grampa was a blacksmith and farrier. He worked at a coal mine. One of his jobs was to make shoes for the pit ponies.

Would the chambermaid have six fingers, or would you be shagging her with 6 fingers?

I'd like the skill of living to old age, which was rare in those times.

By old age do you mean old for those times so about 35?

I dated a girl in school who had a very old father - he was 81 when she was 16 (dirty fooker - him, not her. Well, her too).
He was apprenticed as a wheelwright.
