It really bothers me that we as a society have gotten this far away from realities of life and living.</p>
<p>I take every chance I get to teach my grandkids and other young people serious self reliance/preservation.</p>
<p>The thing that scares me most is that even if they "get it" and can apply it if/when needed, there will always be those masses that will use mob mentality to take it away from them......ergo the preservation part. Still we have created a population of "needy" people that feel it is their right to take what they have had no part in building, making, growing or producing. Mainly because their leaders have told them "You didn't make that! It belongs to everyone."</p>
<p>I'm seriously concerned that we may already be too far down that road.</p>
<p>Regardless, I will continue to share what I know.</p>

<p>Side note: Blacksmithing is the second occupation mentioned in the Bible. Genesis 3 - Tubal Cain nephew of Noah was a blacksmith.</p>
