I just saw this presentation at the Chaos Computer Club conference, for an “Ethical Hardware Kit with a PCB microcontroller made of wild clay retrieved from the forest in Austria and fired on a bonfire. Our conductive tracks use urban-mined silver and all components are re-used from old electronic devices”. It was part of the feminist hardware strand!

I'm wondering how I might try to build a PCB under such circumstances now.

I imagine a realistic post apocalyptic scenario would involve going back to wire-wrapping, or possibly even point-to-point construction.
