I think the little family of rabbits that moved in and birthed their little ones have eaten all of mine. I went out the other day and all that was left was stalks.

People learn the hard way unfortunately. But when i feel starting to feel "soft" i quickly remind myself of the hard times and get to do something ...anything just to get rid of that laziness. That laziness can be very dangerous when unpredictable happens. That’s so true but it’s so easy to “relax” when things go well.

I've forgotten a lot that I did as a child too. Hopefully we can work on regaining some of that lost knowledge together! Trish,

It really hits home. I grew up old fashioned I guess we did not have running water in the home or a bathroom. We grew a huge garden and canned almost all of our food and raised all sorts of animals. We lived like kings, but I am inching close to 40 and don't remember much about the ways we did things it was just what we did never thought I might have to use these skills once I grew up. I really hated all of the chores and now I would give anything to get some of those skills back. I was not a very good student. Thats why I love your site I CAN learn again and prepare the impossible. Thank you so much for what you do it is great to learn. Love your post. It really hits home.

It is a wonderful reminder that no matter where we live, we need to be ready for any potential hard times. Unfortunately, living in a small home in a urban area, I haven't been thinking of preparedness that much. I have some homework to do. God bless you and your family! Loved your post.

We live in town so we are limited to a small garden and no animals. I have just learned a wonderful weed killer: 1 tbsp dish soap to 1 gallon vinegar. Was shocked when weeks were dieing within 2 hours. I'm learning how to dehydrate and can foods. I'm fairly new to your blog, but have thoroughly enjoyed it. Keep up the great work!

We have slowly learned, over the last 20 years living here, to be more self sufficient and make do with what we have. What is most wonderful is that we are learning to reach out and be of help to our neighbors, which brings us and them such a sense of fulfillment. I do think that in hard economic times we will need to be more opened to helping those that live close to us and be willing to accept help too. Great article, thank you.

We are slowly saving towards big purchases like a cow or goat as well as some pigs.I'm sure my husband would love to cook meals over a fire! We have a clothesline and we already wash our clothes in cold water...and know how to wash them in the tub if needed! God has really blessed our garden this year, which is on the smaller side and won't give us produce until next year but we are new to it and needed to start small...not to mention we are expecting a baby in August! Everyday is a new adventure for us, like pasteurizing milk from our Amish neighbors and making cheese, making butter...way too much fun! We raise chickens, ducks and garden.

Having an emergency kit is important for every household and that includes a food supply that lasts for a minimum of three days. Being prepared in these situations is crucial.
