I was hooked! And now I taught my kids what little I know and was looking for some new things and I actually loved the idea of living off the land and turning widely available plants into food and medicine (video here: http://bit.ly/2hnpla2). It’s like having the whole world as your grocery store. And the entire time, my kids were imagining themselves living out in the wilderness and developing a whole storyline from the experience – was really cool to see.

Watching the video also made me realize that the stuff we would call emergency and end-of-the-world was considered normal life by folks in the pioneer days and what we call survival skills was probably called common sense back then. lol

My son is big into survival stuff, and I have learned a ton from him. I have to say though, one of the best resources out there is you tube. They have videos on everything you can imagine!

I have a feeling it’s in the attic *sigh* Great post, as always, Angela 😀
