RE: What is your 'off grid' score?

in #ungrip7 years ago

I find great comfort in knowing what I can eat or use as medicine. We are still learning even with over 10 years into this journey. There is so much to learn. Even if we got displaced, there is food all over the place. People literally starve with food all around them. Their ignorance is the cause, not a lack of food.

Sort:  

I don't think we could ever stop learning but just a fraction of knowledge can mean the difference between a comfortable existence or starvation.

Many a time I've seen the homeless on the streets of Leeds and thought the same thing "People literally starve with food all around them." I've often considered would they benefit from something like Lofty Wiseman's SAS Survival Guide book? (I've got several copies lying around) It's less than £5 for the pocket size book and a wealth of info. Would a homeless person use it if I handed them a copy? I fear probably not........... it's the cash they're after and I doubt they'll change their conditioning.

I agree. I got that book too. Wonderful resource, small and easy to carry around. You may like my post from a few days ago where I talk about feeding a man vs teaching him to fish. :)
