About Self Reliance for Survival

This group is about Self Reliance, Preparedness & Surviving. The driving force for me, is to BE PREPARED FOR WHATEVER MAY HAPPEN IN OUR OVER POPULATED & NON SUSTAINABLE MODERN WORLD, as you just never know?????

For years now, my family and I have been reading about OIL, and how it could be running out. Many aren't thinking about the REALITY of it all... what are you going to do, if this really were to happen? I've heard some carry on about alternatives like wind or solar, but the REALITY of that is, THOSE ITEMS ARE MADE WITH & TRANSPORTED WITH OIL. If & when OIL is finally gone, those items will no longer be manufactured. All of the replacement parts for those systems... even replacement batteries for stored energy will no longer be available. My thoughts are, we don't know "exactly" what will happen, but modern mass produced farming (which consumes extreme amounts of OIL) will no longer exist to sustain (feed) the world. There will not be enough food available on a store shelf near you, so a huge amount of the population could very well perish. Through the years we've decided that we do not want to find ourselves in such a horrible vulnerable situation, & have been mastering very basic and primitive skills to survive what ever could happen. I'm talking about Back to Basics backward living, learning to live without electricity before it is possibly forced upon you.... I call it GOING BACKWARDS TO GO FORWARD!

To me that's the answer, master the skills, learn to survive & exist without shopping... Set one's self up for alternatives to modern machinery which don't rely on OIL ~ animal power, minimalist food preservation methods (without having to buy costly modern canning equipment ='s sun drying, & etc) Knowledge is power and it pays to be prepared... basically that is the theme of our group!

What are you doing to be Prepared & Self Reliant? Topics of interest are listed below....

Feel free to share any and all photographs pertaining to the above group themes. We must MASTER THE SKILLS NEEDED BEFORE OUR LIVES DEPEND ON THEM!

This is not a "doom & gloom group" but one which takes something negative and turns it into something POSITIVE. With a bit of research, thought and preparation we can keep things within our control...the choice is OURS. Other than that, may you and your loved ones have a most beautiful day!
Keep happy, healthy & SAFE
Sincerely,
Wildernessgal & family
