You will need a good book to lead you thru this life. I would choose "The Encyclopedia of Country Living" by Carla Emery. It has many good ideas,
how-to's and recipes in the book to tell you how and why you are doing this. She did it because she wanted to learn to be self-sufficent.
You will need a lot of information of what to eat, how to wild-craft (meaning to gather from the wild) how to cook from scratch, a lot of us don't
have a clue how to cook without opening the freezer for a meal.
Sewing is a useful talent. Your clothes will need some patches after using them daily for work, we all need to learn to do this, men and women.
Nothing fancy, just the basics.
Hunting and fishing are going to be at a premium too. Others will have the knowledge of how to hunt, so... we all need to become better at
hunting/fishing. The game isn't going to be nearly as plentiful as it is now, others will be doing it too.
If we all would just start today, cutting back on our purchases, learning new things that will become necessary later on, living on less I guess is
what I mean.
I have think that we as a society usually "Think with our Money" and that will have to stop if something like we are trying to prepare for really
happens. Our money will be no good for us, as there will not be things to buy when/if this does happen. Our purchases today reflect how much we tend
to Think with our Money. But then again, this could just be My Humble Opinion too. LOL
