~SUSTAINABLE LIVING FOR CHALLENGING TIMES

[eaglesurvivor]

IxCimi: you sound so much like me. You are ahead of me, as far as permanently leaving the U.S. However, I have long had a plan and have spent months, at a time, in other nations. I have it narrowed down to certain Latin American or African countries. I have mentally, emotionally, and physically prepared myself to instantly live elsewhere. I try to go low-tech as much as possible. I haven’t used a tiller or chain saw in years. A specific application of what you touched on would be in the area of tool making. Making handles for a maddox, shovel, hoe, and/or axe is relatively easy to learn and accomplish. The heads require more skills and resources.

Again, I bring up this site on this board, but their resources the best for the total package in one location. Anyone can visit them, study with them, and/or purchase unique books, tools, and seeds. http://www.echonet.org/
So many things that are taken for granted can be persisted through self-sufficient means. It takes a will and a vision.
