Thanks for your suggestions. I plan to start with basic Disaster Prep - which would last someone about 2 weeks.
Water - Food - Sanitation - Communication - tools etc.
Then at the end of the presentation if they choose to hear more I will go one step further.
It is hard to prepare anyone for every eventuality but one has to start somewhere.
I too am gardening now - started a compost heap, I got three hens and grow food for them. I am starting worms next for the chickens and garden and emergency protein for humans if necessary. :(
The hardest part is a lot of this stuff creeps me out since I am a city girl. Chickens have dinosaur feet! Uggh. But I am determined to get over it BEFORE I need to - just in case. The sewing and pattern making is a wonderful talent. I can sew but......a great skill to develop.
I recently saw a clip of a chef at an inner city school and he gave the kids a quiz: where does butter come from - the answer they gave? Peanuts. Where does macaroni come from? The answer: Cheese. OMG what are the schools teaching kids now days? I sound so old....
