    In the 1800s and early 1900s approximately 90% of Americans produced what they needed. Gardens, milk cow, chickens, hogs, wheat, corn etc. wells and windmills. They produced enough for the 10% that didn’t have a self sufficient way of existence. Now days less than 10% produces for the 90%. Thank your farmers and Ranchers folks. No farms no food.

    As a prepper that is unfortunately stuck in the city, I can definitely relate to the points you've made. My lady and I see first hand the "sheeple" mentality. We often say, when the SHTF we have one hell of a job keeping what we've made. We have supplies, water, self defense, and a pretty good garden handled. In the country, you have to deal with 4 lagged animals, in the city, we have to deal with the 2 legged ones. However, your wrong about one thing, we do have to deal with raccoons, and squirrels, and possums. Problem here, we have to dispatch them quietly as they have more rights than we do. Make no mistake OPSEC is very real here also. Thanks for your videos we enjoy them very much. 👊🇺🇸

    My mom runs our local Food Pantry. She is older so today she calls and asks me to move about 2,000 LBS of food off a truck. Now I said no problem and went down.
    What I never told her, I had slipped on a Tupperware container of this morning and banged up my knee and back. Also, I had a commitment before that was not important.
    I choose to help her because it was the right thing to do. I choose to do what is right. Like brother Stoker.

    Good points Top- I've lived in all kinds of places, but where I feel the most comfortable is on my land in the country. It's hard work living rural and something that most urban folk are not used too. I think if something were to happen, us rural people may far better than the city folk, but I know a lot of city folk who have a lot of knowledge in areas that us country folk do not.

    Unless you have an acre or ten of farmable land that has water rights, a river that runs through your property, or a dug well (expensive), being 100% self sufficient isn't possible. All you can really do, is reduce your reliance on goods and services. That means, "Backyard farming", "Suburban homesteading", or just "Gardening". If you have ANY measure of land, use it, and use it efficiently as you can. By doing so, and doing things like a backup generator, you can take care of most everything, except water. You'll always be reliant on that, though I know of a nearby river I could haul water from so long as I have gas. I could talk at length about what we've been doing, but it would take too long. If your doing it right, you won't have much free time. There is always something to do, and none of it is really all that cool or high speed. That reminds me, i gotta go check on the chickens.....

    • @MiddleOutdoorsman
      @MiddleOutdoorsman Před 2 měsíci

      @@STOKERMATIC I think your right. Doing more means growth. I'm doing things that 4 or 5 years ago, I'd have never thought of. I've been thinking there's something coming for awhile now. Not sure when, not sure what, but it's just this gnawing feeling. Things are deteriorating, slowly, incrementally. Stacking food and ammo boxes to the rafters won't really help in the long run. Requires a change in lifestyle.

    Think about this, how much of your farm depends on outside supplies. The feed, fuel for your equipment parts for your equipment, the vet etc. etc. Unless you're making your own bow and arrows, tanning your own leather smoking your own meat you are still dependent on others. Even the mountain men and settlers depended on others for supplies and even then, there were evil doers to deal with and they will be out in force when the SHTF.

    • @STOKERMATIC
      @STOKERMATIC  Před 2 měsíci +2

      I feel what you’re saying - and regardless of where one lives, it’s easy to get caught up in dependency. But in general, folks living in a high rise apartment are way more dependent than someone living on a small farm.

    SHTF situations are extremely rare. I've never really had to face one. Never been near one. Nobody I know has. I knew some people who evacuated from the paths of hurricanes. They did that to avoid being in a SHTF situation.
    But every day life happens all the time and specialization makes that life more efficient. I see that you are on a goat farm. That must be fun and interesting. But I don't have time to raise goats nor do I have room for it. I have a family to raise instead. My career and my life require me to spend my time on other things and rely on other people for certain basics and logistics. I've got water stored up. I've got food stored up. I've got an alternate power source. I have the means to defend myself. I could be self sufficient for a while. But that necessarily has its limits. I can't live off the land indefinitely and that's ok. For me, that's a totally worthwhile tradeoff.
    We have to be prepared for the near-certainty that tomorrow life will go on as usual without a disaster.
    The lone wolf mentality doesn't work out. No man is an island. Everyone depends on other people today for a reason. I happen to be nearby Amish country at the moment. You would think they are self sufficient. But they aren't. Not on an individual or even a family level. They aren't even self-sufficient on a community level. Without inputs from the modern world and the modern outside world to sell their wares to they would starve to death.
    Humans are social animals and always have been. We all have to help each other.

    i'm a shtf evangelist, i truly believe it is inevitable and all the signs and symptoms, the historical parallels are all visible to me. however i must admit part of the glamor of it, why i'm so intrigued, is because it would be a massive shake up from the typical nihilistic city bugman existence most people myself included have been domesticated towards. i understand the implications well, but i still think it's preferable, even for those who will not make it, to turn away from the current modern living and return to something more fundamental

    I'm sol, lol. My best skill set is in IT...I'm a nerd. My mom used to grow a garden every year in our backyard, and she raised rabbits for me. I helped her with the slaughtering and cleaning them when I was very young. She was from Maine. Sadly Alcoholism took all of that away. What does one do when they don't have a community of like minded people? I don't know the first thing about growing food, livestock, canning etc. At least I live in a small town now, instead of crap hole, 3rd world city like LA. Good talk.

    Most typical causes of failure to progress or begin the reorientation you're talking about -- fear and shame about what this honest stock-taking will reveal. So ask yourself -- am I most likely to be blindsided by something close by, present here and now, or something far away, a future unknown? If I really don't have any character to speak of -- well, frankly seeing that and admitting it is the best start for me. How else to be helped?
