RE: new to everything
Okay Destiny, you have a tricky situation, but also one of great opportunity.

I've found this amazing place with oodles of knowledge, free of charge...and not just the internet. The library. You'll be surprised what your local library will have.

As for living at home, that's a HUGE advantage. You can sneak the odd tin of food away and start a store in your bedroom, under the bed or something. Check under your bed. If you have a black plasticy cover, you can cut that out and use it for storage space for food/water. A bottle of water is always a good place to start. Any empty bottles you find, clean them out, then fill them up.

Limited resources makes for more fun! Getting a second passport or something like that, will be very limited in capability. However, starting a bag of food, bottles of water, a library of knowledge, and the alike, are very easily done. Same as increasing your fitness, and that kind of thing. Being at home makes living expenses much lower than if you have your own place. So enjoy it while you can.

Do you have a local Explorers group? Like Scouts, but for older people. Granted they are nearly all total fat nerds, but some are reasonably good fun.

If you enjoy walks in the woods, you can get books on foraging! I love my Foraging book!!! Kept me fed for a day last summer. Need to get out this autumn and winter and try it out then too. But don't go eating mushrooms, unless they're out of a tin, in the form of Heinz Soup! No point taking the risk while learning the basics. Dying isn't a good learning experience.

You can even have a go at making basic cave-style tools! Chip a piece of flint into a knife, Tom Brown styleeee!!!

If you have a local archery group, look at joining there. Get out swimming as much as you can. Then do all those kinds of things that keep you active. You may even find a load of people that are like minded (don't go advertising for them).
