Most things will fall into one of the following divisions. I initially had water included with food, but because water has many uses, it needs its own category.
Skills
Training
Food
Livestock
Security
Medical
Water
Heat
Other
I will try to categorize past lessons learned into these groups and work my way through them. None of this should be taken to mean I'm an expert in any of these..I'm not. But I have learned things along the way and these are meant to provide you with something to consider. Take what you can use, leave what you can't. But knowledge is the one thing that we carry with us, wherever we go.
Overiding all of these for most of us is money and its best use. Careful planning will prevent waste. Rushing into ill-informed purchases will hurt your other efforts.
I feel like the Sun-Tzu of hippy chicks saying this but: "Carefully investigate."
I live on an acre of land in a rural area. I have an old dog, a young cat, and some chickens and bees. My goal is to live a healthy and simple life with as little dependence on the outside world as is feasible, which is not to say I'm a hermit! I've been doing this a few years and I'm no where near where I want to be so still have plenty of things to learn and do. This blog will combine my own adventures getting there with things I've learned that other people might find useful.
