This is a wonderful opportunity — I’m guessing you’ll be setting up lesson plans on what to teach and how, maybe you could share them with FR — maybe later publish them?

[DejaJude]

Did you ever read, The Postman (not the movie)? I remember one of the most valuable members of the community was the one who knew how to make insulin. Medicines would be hard to stock up on.

You are doing a wonderful service. Your own Duel Survival. Now just don’t start going pare foot and growing your hair. LOL

[ladyvet]

...but I probably won't mention the section on cannibalism.

Yummmm, Tea partiers! The other white meat! Seriously, have fun and good luck!

[Judith Anne]

Heh, not me, FReeper 30 moves.

[DejaJude]

maybe you could share them with FR

Good idea.

[momtothree]

You are doing a wonderful service. Don’t worry about being shy! When you are able to discuss something you truly know... any sort of shyness will disappear. Good luck and have some fun with this task.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Good for you. One of the most valuable survival tools you can have is other people.

One family might make it. Ten families working together will make it.

[mad_as_he$$]

My rule of prepping. Teach them all they know but don't teach them everything you know.

[Mamzelle]

You should absolutely keep a journal of this. And with hard copies for yourself. (We won't always have this kind of communication.)

If you create a ping list, please add me. This is the first year I have tried my own gardening, trying to produce at least a little food. (Heretofore, I have relied on provident relatives who already know how it's done. I have canned food many years ago, but have really forgotten how--in what order one does things.)

Congratulations - and best wishes for a successful presentation and a happy audience.

[Buddygirl]

I want to echo Judith Anne’s statement. Any chance that you could share with us Freepers and for us that have no common sense?

[Joe 6-pack]

It's a MAJOR award!

[Textide]

Congrats!

After you give a presentation or two, consider presenting in front of a web cam and make a few videos. Web distribution will reach a far greater audience than in-person presentations.

[Prov3456]

Ditto - congrats, and please add me to a ping list.

[Kirkwood]

The reality is that after all that work you did prepping, someone with bigger guns will just come in and take it.

[30Moves]

To be honest I don’t know how a ping list works.

I forgot to mention in my original post (somehow I think it matters) I am a 55 year old woman.

All I know can be found on the internet but I am printing out everything I need in case of no electricity or no internet. I am ready for the return of the 17th Century if needs be.

My family all like this sort of thing also. Over Thanksgiving we always have a “survival” game that takes place in my woods. Last year we had two hours to start a fire, find food and build a shelter. I did pretty well but made my shelter only big enough for myself and not my partner. Every woman for herself? :)

Thanks for all the encouragement!

[30Moves]

Sounds like you have defeatist mentality.

I will protect my family and what I have to survive until my last breath.

I will not give in or give up or, as in your case, not even try.
