How many people can build a shelter, grow their own food or find clean air or drinking water by themselves? We should all have that skill! Should anything happen to the systems that we created to facilitate our needs being met, people literally do starve and die.
Those are Exactly the questions that woke Brendan and I up and got us active in getting out of the city and getting our sh*t together!! Not having the answer to those absolutely important questions is scary scary stuff.
I hope you can 'shake up' some more people with all you are sharing here White Walking Feather.
It is that very same question that woke us up to the vulnerability we felt in the city as well. Except we confronted ourselves on that question back in 2006 and provided us over a decade of time to make the changes necessary. I share my experiences in the hope that people can do it in two, save a lot of time, work, resources and heartache. I look forward to witnessing your transition! You are doing great so far my dear sister!
