7 Self-Reliance Skills You’ll Need If ‘The System’ Collapses
Greetings,
7 Self-Reliance Skills You’ll Need If ‘The System’ Collapses
We live in a society that has a well-oiled system in place to meet our various needs, be it providing the food we eat, the clothes we wear, or the house we live in. Can you imagine how helpless we would be if this support system came crashing down?
No doubt, many would find it hard to survive on their own, but knowing a few basic survival skills can make all the difference. Moreover, it will give you confidence and more freedom of choice.
Food, clothing and shelter are the three most indispensable needs of man. Our self-reliance is measurable by how well we can provide ourselves with these necessities if needed.
Do you have these seven essential skills?
1. Growing and gathering food
We don’t have to be in a survival situation to learn and use this skill. Gardening and animal husbandry can make us self-reliant to a great extent. We can grow vegetables in the limited space at our disposal, and even rear some animals that would contribute to our nutrition. Did you know that sprouting certain seeds can increase their nutritional value many times over?
In history, gathering food from nature actually preceded cultivation, but finding edible stuff in the wild is not only difficult, but downright dangerous today. We have lost the knowhow of distinguishing the good stuff from the bad, be it wild fruits, roots or bulbs.
But we can still learn to find a few reliable ones like acorns and pine nuts.
Even gathering food from what we grow is a skill to be learned. What good is a cow if we don’t know how to milk it?
2. Preparing and preserving food
Limiting our diet to raw vegetables and fruit can be quite restrictive nutritionally – not to mention the sense of satisfaction we get out of eating.
Food preparation involves cleaning, combining and cooking different edibles to get a balanced meal. Proteins, especially the ones from animal sources like fish and game, require cooking, and it takes a bit of practice to get it right.
Preserving excess food by fermenting, drying, pickling or making log-lasting sauces, jams and jellies used to be a mark of greater self-reliance in the food department before the supermarkets started providing all we need…..More Here
