Lately a few of my blogging buddies and I have started talking about what would happen if something like a natural disaster struck us, or even something worse. How we would live. We are all into gardening and all of us are actually really self sufficient and handy when it comes to making something we need. A rig type deal, perhaps…but it’s the kinds of things “That will do in a pinch.”
My friend Lindsay who is really into it, will be a big help. She out of all of us, is more nature minded, and a live off the land type lady, than most in our little group. I have a feeling she is going to give us a lot of tips, since I know at one time, she lived up in the hills in Virginia for a two years, as sort of a “test” to herself and also out of necessity at the time. Something I never asked about and she never has told. I value her privacy as she is a very wide open type person, except for about certain things in her past. When she lived up in the hills, she didn’t have electricity or even any running water. Bless her heart…she liked it like that. I personally need more civilization, but if need be I could indeed do without a lot of things if I had to, to keep alive and keep my family alive and sheltered.
To be honest, I’m looking forward to the books recommended, along with the links and videos to learn what I can, but I think I’m going to leave the real hard core living off the land to my little friend. And yes…she indeed is a very small person, but can chop wood with the rest of them!
