Reality Check

[mikebratcher69]

I have a family and as such prepping takes a back seat to that, so family life first and then prepping although I try to combine both whenever possible.
I try on a daily basis to fit a bit of education for myself surrounding self reliance in one aspect or another such as fire lighting, chicken keeping, sprouting (which I seem to be grasping, slowly) you know what I mean.
Whenever I build or do something I let my boys help me, for example we've been busy stripping old pallets down and making a chicken coop for my soon to arrive chucks...
I try and remember that much as I learned by myself because I had no dad around, my boys need a helping hand in showing them what to do, whether thats building a flat pack wardrobe to painting my chicken coop.
I try and get them to try edible wild foods which is a good double edged sword because if it tastes bad, they usualy run to the corner shop and come back with a mars bar or two for us.....
