Right now I'm worried about being able to survive without the comforts of society. Will I have the skills I need to start a new life, if this continent as we know it ceases to exist?
I'm feeling very pessimistic on this whole earth thing. I realize it's not as doom and world ending as I'd like to think, but, I'm still worried.
Do I have the skills to grow food to sustain myself and at least two others all year?
Raise livestock?
Husband bees?
Hunt and gather to supplement our diet without poisoning us?
Know enough about building to construct a home?
Keep these people clothed and warm?
Be able to count on the other people I'm with?
Solar power, and electrical work in general?
Get to a suitable site without chaos over taking us and being trapped in an urban center where things crumble around us and we starve or are killed?
I know I'm running on a +3 or +4 right now. But I needed to get this out. Maybe buy some books that I can calm myself with the next time this happens.
