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 🫣
Preppers
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.
