What skill will you train first?

I will go for hunting, just bought the book you need.

Dreaming already about cutting my great pray open and let the blood color my face and body and then scream to Odin with my arms in the air. :roll:

I'm digging up my folks back yard to plant food. I've also got bike repair and alternative medicine materials I'm going through.

I intend to increase my physical strength and bulk up. However, having no access to a gym due to limited funds, I am pretty much limited to calisthenics, endurance training such as running and bicycling, and lifting with various items that I find around the farm such as water buckets, feed bags, hay bales, etc. It seems to be working well, as I now regularly do 50 pushups per day, and before I used to do 30. I can run most of a mile, and I can pick up 10 gallon buckets full of water fairly easily. I can now throw a 45 pound hay bale 10 yards, so this seems to be working.

I go to the gun range once a week.

I am learning knots of many different types from boy scout web sites. There are many on the net.

I can garden well. but I have learned the skill of getting viable seeds is most important. This is being put as a for front. Its not as easy as some might think. Planting melons near cucumbers will result in many seeds that will never grow. Getting good seeds is an art and a skill! If I can grow planrs one season but can not get seeds for future years then it will be very difficult to grow next year.

We will relocate soon to a small; close knit rural area where we are outsiders.

While I believe I am a generous person and turly a Jack-of-All-Trades, I’m not outgoing, but will nonetheless concentrate on MadScientist’s theory of how to become accepted and valued in my new community; “they don’t care how much you know, until they know how much you care”.

Failing that I'll go camp out at his house.

Learning as many ways to kill my neighbor as possible.
Enough said.

Gardening.
Farming.
Animal husbandry.

Hunting, I've already got down.

by **KiddieKorral** » Mon 13 Dec 2004, 18:00:29

It just means raising animals. Nothing twisted. BTW, that's probably going to be the skill, along with carpentry, that I focus on.

by **DomusAlbion** » Mon 13 Dec 2004, 18:02:05

Very funny. Look it up you ignorant hick! Just kidding.

Actually there are years of course work in this field in any good agricultural school. It's just the care and feeding of standard farm animals.

We want goats, chickens, rabbits and a couple of cows.

I'm going back to school for nursing. Class starts Jan 3rd. The good news is I'm pretty sure I'll get through school before the economy deteriorates too much. The better news is that inflation will make my school debt look like nothing. The bad news is that it'll probably make my salary look like nothing, too.

This is like deja vu all over again. I got ready for Y2K in a major way. My thinking at the time was that if the 'puters didn't get fixed in time then we would have major breakdown in the course of weeks. So it made sense to prepare. This new problem won't play out in weeks, it will be months or even years unravelling. We'll see major fascist controls. No one is going to be immune from collective coercion. Don't delude yourselves about private immunity from a collective disaster. We are all connected.

Yes Domus, they fixed it. How are we going to fix this?
