My gut has been pulling me to figure out a way to live with less and form less attachment.

Long before i knew anything about the climate, i felt like things were not right. For years i have been reading up on new ways to find, grow and preserve food, build shelter, travel efficiently, animal husbandry, unconventional ways to treat medical ailments...


I have taught my children how to make a flint fire and purify water.

It makes me laugh to see it all written out. It sounds insane.. But i cannot ignore the part of me that needs to learn as much as possible...right now.

I am from the camp that feels we have less time than scientifically predicted. For years i have watched the scientists show consistent amazement at the speed of the process. We are in uncharted territory now.

Edited to add...My young teen daughter came up to me to show me the college she would like to attend in 4 years as i was reading this thread.

I am so sorry for the children.
