It's not entirely out of the question, after all, how many of you have the
knowledge of metalurgy to make any metal tool from say... the Bronze age, or
Iron, or make gun powder, sure you know what's in it, but can you obtain the
raw materials, and build the contraption that they used to make it?
Let me see, volcanic vent for the yellow stuff. Fireplace
for the black stuff.
Need some horses and some soil with a high potassium content
for the white stuff.
Nothing real difficult. I think in a pinch ( with my car ) I
could find these things.
Still, it is true that as technology gets more complicated,
it takes quite a few people with knowledge in specific areas
to create the complete item.
