Just my 2 cents here. When the kids were young I'm 67+ ,we went out in our yard and picked greens to eat. My kids would ask to gather food that way every week. We had chickens, turkeys ,goats and sheep that we ate. Both my wife and I worked off farm but I always felt the farm kept us grounded. I taught anyone that would listen how to find food in the forest or in their yard. As I get older I am harkening back to years before my time to try to be more self reliant. It just seems to make sense to me, especially, given the current state of affairs we are living thru. I was taught by a neighbor in town when very young what plants I could eat out of the yard. My teacher was a widow who lived thru the Depression and survived that way. Her husband was a dentist and if he worked he was paid by barter. So they often had to rustle grub (living in town), anyway they could. My folks too were depressionera kids that tried very hard to teach me self reliance and frugality, which I had tried to teach our kids to do. So, yes by way of Alaska, I too am yearning for the days gone by as one does for good memories, but I do look to the future and trust the Almighty does have this under control. He does not though ,want us to be uneducated about how his world works and how to have the knowledge to help others. Learning the old ways both to preserve history as well as gaining new skills are very important and from the comments here ,from way back in 2013, seem to indicate we have many fellow travelers on this journey.
