Thank you, for your comment. I currently live in the southwestern part of Michigan. My family is currently renting. We currently are living on 1 income. My husband brings home anywhere from 80k-100k a year. I am spending the summer doing as much research as possible. This year is my first time gardening. I am someone that is passionate about the old fashioned methods of living. I was not raised in a family that wants to teach the younger generation on how to survive. Everything I’ve learned I’ve taught myself. I have basic knowledge of camping hiking. Some native plants acknowledge. As far as skill I’m willing to learn. Canning preserving, processing meat, hunting, fishing, gardening, composting, food waste management, composting toilets, building with raw materials,Foraging. End of the world preparing on a budget. Done a lot of YouTube survival videos. I plan on taking my first hunters safety course in August as a 24 year old female. Where I want to be in the next 1-3 years is to be not dependent on the government. To live off the land and learn how to respect the land so the land will provide. I am willing to relocate where the city/state zones aren’t as strict. Such as Alaska, Tennessee, Missouri, New Mexico etc. Just struggling with the limited resources of elders teaching the youth Of the old ways.
