All GREAT information. Again, much appreciated.
I figured TV is just that... TV but it's helped me learn what I don't know and be able to ask dumb questions. haha

That is one of my priorities... I really want to get connected with how people used to live before all that we have today. I don't want to go back to living in caves or anything and hell, if it wasn't for the internet I wouldn't have found this site or learned what I have learned thus far. I just think some traditions are a dying art. All the way down to managing a home garden and canning your own food.
Like I said, I'm not all freaked out by the future or convinced that the sky is falling but I'm in my late thirties, I live somewhat in the country and I know of one person in all of my wife and my connections that actually knows how to can their own vegetables. If something like what happened in Japan happened here, we'd all be screwed. I want piece of mind knowing that I can be independent and I want to make sure my son is raised in the same manner.
Thanks again!
