We Could Fall Apart Start Over Again No Body Knows Me
Rochelle has feel with wild critters and gardening adventures while living the uncomplicated life in a rural expanse for 20 years.
Will the Good Times Final?
Could a global economic disaster someday force us into a lifestyle more like that of our great-great grandparents?
People in earlier generations grew their ain food, traded locally with neighbors and depended on personal talents and skills to supply their everyday needs. The economy of many small countries still operates in a like fashion.
On the other hand, modernistic people of industrialized nations with advanced technology and complex economies a take lost bear upon with basic pioneer skills. They could be hit hard by a financial collapse. Many of usa do not realize how dependent on technology nosotros have become.
Ironically, people in "poor" less adult areas with an agricultural base volition be ameliorate prepared for whatever drastic alter. They already know how to live without the advantages and luxuries we accept for granted.
The First Necessity is Information
Those who plan ahead could survive an economic tempest with sometime-fashioned hard work and know-how.

Get information technology in Writing
By the Book

Your notebook could include data on ways to grow, prepare and preserve nutrient, using alternative free energy, sewing, carpentry, craft skills, keeping chickens, cooking outdoors, making lather, making candles, home remedies and any homesteading skills that used to exist mutual.
You might not demand to know all of these skills, but fifty-fifty just having a few would make it easier for you to barter with neighbors.
Why should you print out pages when they are ever available on the net? What if your power goes out, or you tin can't afford internet service? You should accept a printed copy that'southward like shooting fish in a barrel to reference.
Assembling your "Basics" book
Afterward you search for topics and manufactures that might be helpful….

For instance, if you know you lot tin grow corn or other grain, or if you know yous can get together acorns for making staff of life, y'all could brand flour by pounding kernels between stones, as was done in ages past. With that thought in mind, you might also desire to purchase a hand-cranked grinder to make that procedure easier.
If yous want to make soap, getting some molds or a pan that will let y'all brand several bars at once.

If y'all need to provide for yourself and your family, yous will want to search out full general topics on like "Frugal living", "bartering" and "do-information technology-yourself".
You will find enough of articles about planting fruit copse, vegetables, and herbs as well as canning, drying and preserving your harvest.

Tom Cornett from Ohio on April 29, 2018:
Hubs like these are amongst my favorites. I always learn something new. Wife, Tammy and I bought a five acre mini farm 4 years ago. Books and the internet have helped guide u.s.. I grew up in the country and worked on farms but I still have a lot more to learn.

My mom also survived the Depression, the State of war, as well as an earthquake. I believe she knew how to practise everything. She could sew anything from underwear to wedding ceremony dresses, I however have beautiful sweaters she knitted and she was good at repairing and fixing things in full general. OK-- she wasn't a gourmet melt, but she knew how to put a meal on the table.
I'll bet a lot of people don't even know about turning collars or what side-to-middle means. I appreciate your comment very much.
Kate Swanson from Sydney on Nov 22, 2014:
This is an excellent point. It'southward amazing how piddling people know about bones skills - it seems like about people can't even sew on a button any more!
I see that even in women in their fifties and sixties. I was a late baby (my mother was over 40), and having an older mother ways that I learned many things that women with younger moms missed out on.
My mother grew up in the Depression and was a young woman during the war, and so she learned how to make practise - and taught me. I have never had to sides-to-middle my sheets or turn the collars on shirts, I don't knit or crochet - simply I know how. It's a pity these skills aren't existence passed on today.

I'll bet my ancestors would take loved solar power. Daily life doesn't come to a halt when the sun goes downwards.
I have to confess, I love spending time in the kitchen at present much more than I e'er did when every apparatus had a noisy motor. There's something very therapeutic about hand-making everything.

That is why I loved the binder thought! Why didn't I retrieve of that? I am normally a well organized person so I'one thousand a bit surprised that information technology did non occur to me to compile and relieve essential information.

Rochelle Frank (author) from California Gold Country on March 11, 2013:
You are right, pramodgokhale. Some countries take had hard times more recently, and yet call back. Nosotros have had it good in the US for a long time, and I think most people take forgotten.
Alise- Evon on March 11, 2013:
Besides being prepared for possible hard times, knowing these skills tin can be adept for your wellness- I try to make equally much food as I tin from scratch, wildcraft herbs for tea and medicine, and practice a bit of foraging. This gives me more than control over what ingredients become into my food (food coloring? don't think so, etc.), and also makes me discover local suppliers or local people with skills that compliment my own. It is squeamish to be more connected to your community in this fashion, also.
Thanks for the useful information, especially nigh other Hubbers who write most these things.
pramodgokhale from Pune( Republic of india) on March 10, 2013:
This commodity is actually a warning and guidance how to survive.If economy collapses equally you mentioned " Pioneer Skills" Older generations who faced world wars ,famines ,They were mentally tough to take on such challenges.
Off-Grid and without refrigerator , can not imagine.In India new middle course is emerging and but able to absorb shocks but adjacent generation we do not know whether they tin can sustain?
Cheers

Nathan Bernardo from California, U.s. of America on March 09, 2013:
Very useful and necessary data, and I never thought about the great resource that Hubpages is for this kind of information. I think this kind of knowledge is going to be necessary eventually; for one thing, our economic system is non sustainable in the long-run, and the long-run is getting shorter. Definitely we demand to look into these alternative and basic ways of living and these valuable skills. I like how you laid out how to organize the information, and the practical items necessary for survival in the collapse.Thanks for the insight and the knowledge.
Marie Hurt from New Orleans, LA on March 08, 2013:
Very helpful for when you tin't go online. We get so used to looking things up on the computer, but oft in a disaster state of affairs you tin't use your jail cell or a computer. Keeping information handy and accessible in an emergency will exist invaluable. Great ideas. I don't remember we are prepared at all to weather an economic disaster.
Rochelle Frank (author) from California Gold Country on March 08, 2013:
From reading some of your hubs and comments, Sherry Hewins, I recall you would have a head outset. I have but had brief camping ground experiences that did not involve pipes or sewers of any kind. Mod plumbing conveniences are certainly among civilization'due south most taken-for-granted attributes.
Rochelle Frank (author) from California Golden Land on March 08, 2013:
I gauge thinking about how you lot could feed yourself, IS food for thought. Hopefully we won't have to go that far. Cheers for your comment, rebeccamealey.
Rochelle Frank (writer) from California Gilt Land on March 08, 2013:
Really, I am quite an optimistic sort, AudreyHowitt. I don't think I will meet u.s.a. having to resort to older technologies, all together-- but It is reassuring to know that I would have some idea of how to deal with it. That thought, actually takes away much of the scariness.
Sherry Hewins from Sierra Foothills, CA on March 08, 2013:
I hope it never comes to that Rochelle, but I retrieve if information technology does I will have a head outset on a lot of Americans. When I was younger I lived a very rustic lifestyle, even without electricity and having to haul water. It's been a long time, and I would not like to go dorsum to that, but I do know how. Thanks for an important reminder.
Rebecca Mealey from Northeastern Georgia, U.s.a. on March 08, 2013:
Gosh, it is not bad to think ahead and be prepared for annihilation, this surely does practise that! Hopefully, we have learned from past generations and don't have to get THAT for. This is a proficient food-for-thought article.
Audrey Howitt from California on March 08, 2013:
This is kind of scary actually--the idea that we may demand to gather ourselves in the face of some sort of global meltdown--merely practical nonetheless
Rochelle Frank (author) from California Gilded Country on January 23, 2012:

Rochelle Frank (writer) from California Gold Country on December 12, 2011:
When nosotros moved to a rural surface area I began to cut back on shopping a lot-- non many stores here.
Every bit for purses, I wrote a hub about why I haven't carried one in years.
Rachelle Williams from Tempe, AZ on Dec 12, 2011:
Timely advice here Rochelle. I decided a while ago to move toward a more frugal lifestyle, but ...I did not realize how much I would miss hitting the mall every weekend and slapping a Coach purse on the old Visa.. (I know, ridiculous, huh?)
Rochelle Frank (author) from California Gold Country on Dec 08, 2011:
2uesday-- it is hard to think about, but if more people do think about it, things volition exist meliorate for all of usa. This state-- and many others-- were congenital on self-sufficiency.
It'south foolish to think that someone else, especially government, will always exist there to assistance.
2uesday on December 07, 2011:
I had to smiling as I read this because I can already do some of the things you mention and savor them. But the thought of the economy collapsing is atrocious and I cannot imagine how people would cope. This did make an interesting just worrying read.
Rochelle Frank (writer) from California Aureate Country on November 08, 2011:
Thank you, Peggy Westward. Having a garden and doing some of those other things can be enjoyable as well. Being able to exercise something useful with your hands is good for mental health as well, I recollect.

Jerilee Wei from United States on November 08, 2011:
I'm finding more and more than that those survival techniques I was taught both at home by my grandmother and home edc classes becoming a Godsend in everyday life. I liked the notebook idea. I also recommend assembling a library while impress books are nonetheless cheap and plentiful. Great hub!
D.Juris Stetser from Due south Dakota on November 07, 2011:
Fantastic information! The economy has been the focus of several manufactures I've posted on 1 of my blogs, and I linked to your commodity. I think you're "spot-on" with your preparation-notebook idea. I'm totally new. Just registered today actually, and so glad I found your article. Promise I can learn to Hub even HALF likewise as you. Thanks again.
Nigam Shah from India on Nov 07, 2011:
I guess that along with knowledge people should as well start exercising as if there comes a fourth dimension when what Rochelle says becomes true so people who are not in a skilful shape volition face up a lot of problem.
Similar you might know how to plow the state but if your body is non capable of performing the task than all that knowledge becomes useless.
and then i hope people start exercising soon.
gr8 hub past the mode,Rochelle.

Peggy Woods from Houston, Texas on November 06, 2011:
Every bit you said, our grandparents and dandy grandparents were better prepared than nearly of us today to weather economic collapses like what happened in the Groovy Depression. More people farmed back in those days and during both globe wars and then many people had gardens. Living more than frugally is skillful advice and hopefully your warning will not come to pass...just good information to accept. Always better to be prepared than the culling.

Rochelle Frank (writer) from California Aureate State on November 02, 2011:
Yeah losing your swallow source-- or your heat source could be a disaster.
Our wood stove is efficient, and nosotros live on a wooded property.
H2o, of course is vital, every bit well.
I accept some other hub almost winter power outage, and nearly of the books about country living address the challenges of keeping water and heat available.
Phil Plasma from Montreal, Quebec on November 02, 2011:
