May I add “Gullible”? “Ignorant”? “Stoopid”?
Sell something in Mother Earth News.
That’s just terrible.You want to make money off the mentally handicapped.
The survivalist diet book!
Gabz! We’re “Survivalists” and we didn’t even know it, LOL!

And, Yes, I vote Democrat! *SMIRK*
We’re not off the grid but we can live off the grid. Can you?
Yeah, good luck with that apocalypse Laskowski.
Why not? I make a handsome living catering to the impulsive buying habits of liberal Dhimmicrats...;’}
I always thought I should have been born in the late 1800’s....looks like people think we’re going to get my wish.
These people have the LUXURY of living this way. Look at that Post and Beam house! Look at the amount of money tied up in that supply of wood to burn!
Livestock isn’t cheap to raise, except for chickens. I want a milk cow in the worst way, but I can’t afford to feed one. A gallon of milk would cost me upwards of $5 to produce on a small scale. I can still get it for $1.99 at the store. And it’s freezable, so easy to stock up on when on sale.
I’ll stick with my investment strategy (buying gold, silver and lead; as in bullets) and let the chips fall where they may, come The Revolution. :)
She has a good idea.
Nothing wrong to depend on yourself instead of the Gov’t. A self sufficient farm with solar power and food.
Genius.
Me, too. I was born too late. I would’ve made a good Sod Buster. ;)
Home gardening offers ways to trim grocery costs [Survival Today, an on going thread]
I live somewhat like that now and am moving farther that direction as time passes. If things go to hell in or out of a handbasket, I will be better off that 99% of the sheeple living in the cities and suburbs. If everything stays rosy, fine. Raising chickens and picking a banjo is what I wanted to do anyway. I like dogs and guns too, so that part of the plan is also a pleasure.
For you sceptics, good luck. I really hope things work out for you.
Seriously tho.... the Y2K scare really gave me pause for thought....because I did learn animal husbandry and how to can/store food.
Gee, around my neck of the woods, knowing how to do alot of these things just means your more self sufficient than most.
You won’t hear any hoots of derision from me, directed at people who are attempting to reacquaint themselves with self-sufficiency. We’re living in very interesting times, economically speaking. This could mean the difference between making it through OK and experiencing want or loss. Or, conversely, it could prove to be nothing more than a hobby that saves a little money. Either way, it’s not a bad thing.
