My garden is pretty much in ruins right now but man, I built a garden of raised beds 100% from upcycled materials, not store-bought. Then grew and tended plants till I could harvest edible things.
I have been going through the different plants, one after another like testing out different recipes. Learning how each one works.
I do the same for building and crafting.
So if the world ends then I set off to the mountains and I will take some hand tools, seeds and preserved foods and leave me there for a few years. I will grow food and build a cottage and from the ground up build all the furniture in a house and build working ovens/stoves.
Spend my days building and tending plants.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 damn... I would actually prefer THAT life instead of this, wake up, work, earn money, pay bills life we have now... damn...
It's amazing just how easy it is to build some valid skills that will help a person and their family in a crisis...but it's easy to to scroll Facebook and watch other mindless shit on DickTok whilst pretending that everything is ok and that someone will solve any issues that may arise. It seems putting one's head in the sand is in vogue.
I'm often gob smacked at when it's pointed out to people that they don't have skills and they make light of it, make a joke or laugh it off...So many do that or say, that'll never happen, but I reckon there's some people out there right now, say...those in Ukraine or Gaza, thinking, you dumb cunts, it can happen, has and will.
Keep building your skills.
I 100% agree. Keep honing those skills.
Nah, everyone says that: "That'll never happen."
I work in H&S. People keep saying the safety standards are too high. But then when something DOES happen, you thank your lucky stars that you had things in place.
Its like putting on a seat belt in the car. There are car accidents in South Africa daily, often at fatal conditions. Not wearing a seatbelt is quite dumb. This sort of the thing is the same.
People are idiots man, plain and simple. There'll come a time when so many people will wish they took some action and it'll be people like you and I that have to pick up the pieces...or sit back and say, I told you so mother fuckers.
"Get off of mah mountain!" is what I'll say. lol
Indeed. People will need to look for leaders and people with skills.
