Safety in a Failing Economy

Great info! I just got in after having to drive an hour to fetch organic food.

I'll need to come back and reply to a few post but wanted to say this to the people who say they are not handy or not outdoors people...

12 years ago I wore 4 inch heels, big hair and never left the house without makeup. I knew a bit about camping and fishing but nothing about living in the country, taking care of animals or any of that shit. When I first moved out to the everglades, my first real attempt at rural living, I thought I would have a break down. I had no idea what to do and things I never expected happened. But you know what? I did it. I cried, screamed and taught myself everything. Books and the internet didn't help me nearly as much as trial and error. Was it easy? hell no. Is it easy now? NO. BUT I can't even describe the level of freedom I have or the woman all of this has made me. My connections are stronger and even though now I can afford to pay someone, I also love the fact that if I needed to do it I could.

Nothing compares to challenging yourself. Nothing compares to the connection you might be missing with the universe. Get outside, explore and learn how to work with nature.
