I don’t want to be unkind, but if you have such a negative outlook on the world that you will buy this, is this really a world you want to bring children into?
That would be another great topic. If I remember correctly on somebody on reddit asked how to raise the next generation and what skilsl you should pass on for more resilience. I have no children, yet, but maybe its a topic for others in this community.
I have been climate crisis aware for decades but had kids a decade ago and have been raising them to survive the coming crisis and lead others in a small community. Skills/lessons I’m attempting to impart include, in no particular order:
A guiding sense of fairness and humility. They’re exceptional but that comes with an obligation to help others
Awareness of the duality of man, both danger and kindness
Love of nature
Fishing
Archery
Firearm safety/usage/maintenance
Small unit tactics for CQB (taught with Nerf and laser tag currently)
Basic first aid
Knowledge of innate human rights and the current threats to them
Growing food
How to cook delicious food quickly and efficiently for fuel conservation
Self-care, including mental health
I don’t know exactly what the future holds, but I want them ready for an unfriendly world when they’re adults. Hopefully they have enough time to build community with like-minded people and live out their days in peace and harmony with nature.
lets leave this for the newborns and keep on searching for other sources of nutrition 🫣
A place for people who like to be prepared for realistic disasters both human created and naturally occurring!
We expect there to be thematic overlaps with outdoor, survival, general preparedness, self-sufficient living and resilience... also gear talk is welcomed wholeheartedly.
