This war has several fronts. One front is the food supply.

If you are not collecting seeds, growing a garden and/or raising animals, you are behind the curve.

I've been following the ice age farmer for a year or more. He always has the data to back up his assertions.

Look at how many "accidental" fires are happening at food processing or food producing plants throughout the US lately. Scary when you check the data. I read articles from many sources.

Not only living it, been preaching it for decades.

I'm certainly behind the curve.. last year was my first hunting season. This was my first year cultivating a garden. And as hack as it seams being a millennial actually was an obstacle to overcome in regards to this.

It definitely is harder skills to acquire as an adult because most people who hunt “grew up hunting” self taught 7 years in between teaching myself to hunt and farm haven’t bought meat from a store for 6 years.

Canning is great don’t go overboard right off the bat like I did though. Try small batches and make sure you like something before you bust out the witches cauldron for a 50# batch of something that isn’t good lol

Missing out not canning milk it’s super easy and great for baking and such (not great for a cold glass of milk) I am not the best gardener so I still use some canned goods from the store unfortunately

Myself, I don’t have any problem with it. Wife’s a food scientist now in these matters I defer to her judgment, that whole happy wife thing.
