If you're gonna learn to live without today's luxuries, might as well learn from the Amish!!!

This idea is simple enough, turn the power off for 24 hours, start there. Grow your garden, and only your garden , live out of it for a few days, go camping on thw weekend, make your own shelter, start small. dont wait till you need to do this to learn this.

Thank you for your insightful comment! Your idea is spot on-turning the power off for 24 hours is a simple yet effective way to start. Growing your own garden and living out of it for a few days is excellent practice for self-sufficiency. Camping on the weekend and making your own shelter are great ways to build essential survival skills gradually. It's crucial not to wait until you need these skills to start learning them. Thanks for sharing these valuable tips!

The more you do. Like baking breads. and canning is a blessing from God. Dehydrating iis another one. Allof these are money saver. I grow onions chives and raspberry plus currant berry's. Myself I really enjoy the savings from ,what you grow. There is nothing better than growing and making your own foods. Plus homemade cleaning supplies. I have no air-conditioning at all. Plus I don't cans cat food I make it. You'll really want to save money. Try it. Your at will love you for That.and you will see a big difference with in your cat. Have a safe summer and injoy it.

@@MarkGraham-rd5td Thank you for sharing, Mark! I couldn't agree more-baking bread, canning, and dehydrating are indeed blessings and fantastic ways to save money. Growing your own onions, chives, raspberries, and currants not only brings joy but also significant savings.

Another excellent video and I was impressed by the Amish I saw in Kentucky and Missouri last Summer on my across America driving trips. Very strong and resilient communities indeed! What is this song theme I keep hearing in these prepping videos? It sounds a lot like Frederic Chopin’s “Prelude” (No 24). It’s both ominous but inspirational too! Awesome content! 👍

These practices are great and I'm not degrading any of this. But what happens when you can't get canning jars, hand tools or solar panels, or canning lids. Yes you can be sustainable but take out the few small things I've mentioned above from the modern world. Now what is your plan. Remember these things may not be available.

@reliableprepper 6 күн бұрын

You raise a really important point. It's great to be prepared with modern tools, but we also need to think about how to adapt if those items become unavailable. One approach is to focus on skills and knowledge that don’t rely on specific tools. For example, learning how to preserve food through drying or fermenting can be alternatives to canning. It’s also helpful to have a network of like-minded individuals to share resources and skills. Bartering and trading can be a way to get what you need when certain items aren't available. And always consider the basics like growing your own food and finding alternative energy sources, like wind or manual power. Adaptability and creativity are key. Thanks for the thoughtful reminder!

@Stolensouls69 6 күн бұрын

@reliableprepper Exactly. I agree completely. Alot of folks say I live off grid and self sustainable. Yeah you are, but what happens when your toys and modern things break or you can no longer get them, and specifically don't exist anymore. It becomes a daily struggle for everything. Thanks for getting back to me. Hope all is well with you brother.

I have never seen Amish use solar panels. Or wind panels, and there's quite a few that live in my community. Here, if the Amish buy a regular home, they rip out the plumbing and the electric. Their religious beliefs and way of living they cannot even have those things in their home. I'm not saying all um, I should live that way. Maybe there are some in some communities that use solar panels and wind panels for power. But I have never seen it. They still use horses and equipment that's their electric. Mennonites very well might use that.

@reliableprepper Ай бұрын

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! It’s interesting to hear about the Amish in your area. I’ve noticed that they usually stick to their traditional ways too, like using horses instead of modern technology. It’s true that some might adopt solar or wind panels, but it seems pretty rare. The Amish often remove plumbing and electricity from their homes due to their beliefs. Mennonites, on the other hand, are more likely to use modern tech. It's cool how different communities have their own unique ways of living!
