One cannot prepare for every contingency. I do not have the money to buy expensive generators, solar panels etc. So, as a lone woman I decided to stockpile SKILLS.

It is all well and good that you have food stored but if you don’t know how to build a weather-proof fire or how to purify water what good is a years worth of dehydrated lasagne going to be?

I spoke to several men in my local TEA Party group and was amazed at how few knew how to cook over an open fire. They all said, “well I will just cook on my propane grill.” Really? How long will that last?

Basically I am learning skills that would help me survive in almost caveman conditions - so in anything less than total catastrophe I will be OK.

Trapping and skinning animals, how to make lye and render animal fat to make soap, shelter building, self-defense methods and how to grow and preserve food just to name a few. If I never need these skills at least it was fun learning them.

If you have skills then you will not succumb to fear if a crisis occurs.

I like your attitude. Being a single woman, I know I don’t have enough ‘stuff’ to survive but skills will make the difference.

Thanks!!
