BERRY PRETTY! SURVIVAL FOOD! GOD'S TRAIL MIX!
AS I POSTED THE FISHING TRIP, I REALIZED I HAD CERTAIN ABILITIES.
I CAN PROVIDE.
AS AN OUTDOORSMAN, (ONE OF MILLIONS), I AM ABLE TO HUNT, FISH, GATHER, BASICALLY:
SURVIVE.
I AM RATHER PROUD OF THIS, AS IT IS AN ESSENTIAL PROCESS FOR LIFE!
IT IS DOWN TO EARTH, NO FRILLS,
BACK TO BASICS!!!
TO START A FIRE, BUILD A SHELTER, AND BASICALLY LIVE OFF THE LAND, IS SOMETHING I HADN'T EVEN REALIZED I HAD ACQUIRED. IT WAS SO MUCH A PART OF ME, I JUST TOOK IT FOR GRANTED.
NOW WITH 2012 RUMORS, SURVIVAL SHOWS POPPING UP DAILY, I REALIZED MY GRANDFATHER AND FATHER HAD PROVIDED ME WITH THE BASIC KNOWLEDGE OF HOW TO SURVIVE!
I WOULD BE WORTH SOMETHING TO THE VILLAGE!
THAT IS COOL, WHEN YOU REALIZE THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE, EITHER BY CHOICE, OR UPBRINGING, HEALTH ISSUES ETC., DEPEND ON OTHER PEOPLE FOR SURVIVAL. RECENTLY MY HEALTH CAUSED ME TO RELY ON OTHERS, BUT NOW I AM BACK IN THE HUNT! (HAR HAR)
AND IT MUST BE NOTED HERE THAT THE HUNTER GATHERER MENTALITY MUST ULTIMATELY SHIFT TO THE WOMAN.
HOW STRONG A CREATION SHE REALLY IS! TO BEAR CHILDREN, AND KEEP ON WORKING! TO COOK, SEW, NURTURE, LOVE, NURSE AND 1,000 OTHER QUALITIES.
THE TRUE SURVIVOR, AND GLUE OF THE TRIBE!
MAN COULD NOT SURVIVE WITHOUT HER, AND SHE COULD NOT SURVIVE WITHOUT HIM.
PRETTY COOL SYMBIOTIC RELATIONSHIP GOD!
GREAT GRAND DESIGN! NO WONDER YOU ARE WHO YOU ARE!
THE GREAT "I AM"!!!!!
THANKS FATHER!

You are fortunate. I think I could do my part in surviving. But I would need help. Not sure how long I'd survive in the wild - winters can be long and cold here.
ReplyDeleteI would love to have your survival skills, Juan. If I had to rough it, I'd live off my avacados and tangerines for a month and then dwindle away.
ReplyDeleteJeannine,
ReplyDeleteSurviving up there would be a whole other ballgame. You would have to have a serious mindset to make it up there!! You say we have funky stuff down here? Yeah maybe, but at least it's not 9 feet tall with Claws, or have Antlers that could run you through!!! Chit up your way can kill you quick. Not to mention just the Exposure, Weather and Terrain!
But I think I could make it a while at least!

Ily,
You'd just bat those Baby "Red's" ?Blues, Greens, Browns?" :-), and You'll do just fine on Avocados. Think how good your skin would look with all those Good ingredients in an Avocado! And No Scurvy for the Curvy with the Tangerines.
My Dad had a Grove of those, and it was all I could do not to eat all the profits! They were second only to Navels, and also a Tangelo was a Good hybrid. I didn't get into the Grapefruit that much after I found out I was spraying them with ARSENIC to kill the Aphids!!!
It didn't get in the fruit--YEAH RIGHT--and I didn't even wear a mask, or respirator! I think my Dad was truing to tell me something LOL!!!
