Learn how to forage for wild plants/foods in your state...

I also recommend knowing which bodies of water in your local area have edible fish (not too many bad chemicals in them) and take the time to learn how to catch them.

and to hunt, dress and process meat.

I grew up deep in the north woods with my grandparents - Grampa was a Maine Guide in addition .

I have a friend now, also a guide - and writer, author of foraging/wild plants books - who lives in the forrest - built his own home, grows, hunts, fishes, forages for 90% of his foods - dug his own trout pond and a separate hatchery pond.

Hmm - who will better weather a crisis: Him or some billionaire in the big city?

I have never envied the rich. Indeed, I feel rather sorry for them....but not too! ;o)
