[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

BING!

[DManA]

One bullet ends that B.S.

[rfreedom4u]

I like it!

[Excellence]

Good stuff here.

[Redcitizen]

Should be #1. Have a strong faith in God (morals, memorize bible verses, prayers, songs, and have a hope for heaven)

imho

I would add in, how to mend a wound or stop bleeding. The sewing would help there.

“I would add in, how to mend a wound or stop bleeding. The sewing would help there.”

“Basic First Aid” is on there and that likely covers bleeding and wounds.

Sounds odd, but, in a pinch on small wounds requiring stitches. Super glue.

Yep.

[Jack Hydrazine]

How to make various types of knots and their uses.

[Marcella]

“1.Grow vegetables from seeds.”

Seeds, dirt, and water do not equal a producing food plant. If you haven’t done it before successfully, you will likely fail. I think Johnny will back me up as he is the one who told me and he was right.

[VerySadAmerican]

When I was a kid I was deadly accurate with a sling shot. I think I’ll make one and see if I’ve still got it.

[James C. Bennett]

Nothing about learning to swim? Incomplete list.

[B4Ranch]

Tell them, if you climb up into a tree be sure to pull the ladder up into the tree with you.

[B4Ranch]

There’s no mention of sharpening a knife either.

[TEXOKIE]

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

How to sharpen a knife.

Many think they do and they are wrong.

[TEXOKIE]

Please, if you would, elaborate, or provide a good reference which instructs the more arcane aspects you are referring to. No sarcasm here. Truly asking.

First on my list would be to live in an area where food and climate are of little or no concern.
Many of the NG Prepper examples seem to consist of those who live in God awful areas where it is too hot,dry,cold,desolate, or whatever.
The southeast would be my prime US living location, where there are good people, resources, and a minimum of extremes.
Even the cost of living in the US is becoming a serious problem for many.

One should also bone up and be knowledgeable of international travel and locations. Always have a valid passport, even if you have no plans to use it. Study life in other countries.
Central and northwest South America are now booming with American expats. Internet sites such as www.internationalliving.com and Escapefromamerica.com are souces of information.
I am now living my retirement years as an international explorer.
