Like most things in life, the meme is true for some people and not true for others. My Dad was born during the depression. He was the 4th child out of 7. They grew everything they ate, made their own medicine and sold extras to pay for the few things they could not produce themselves. So for me, the meme is true. I spent all my summers up on Sand Mountain, AL working on the farm and learning many of the things that made me who I am today. I am no longer physically able to do enough to try to run a homestead, so instead I spend my time sharing my knowledge and curating knowledge from the people who have the best chance to survive if/when it all falls apart.

I love that you are sharing and curating knowledge. So many people are wanting to learn new skills and today they can learn so much just by reading all of the carefully curated content available on-line.
Even ten years ago, it was hard to find this kind of information. Homesteading and all that it encompasses is a pretty powerful movement.
