Here\u2019s Why a Prepper Homestead May Not a Good Plan for Survival<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Lots of preppers are convinced that they\u2019re going to \u201clive off the land\u201d should the world as we know it come tumbling down around our ears.\u00a0Seed banks are stockpiled, books are purchased, and people are confident that they\u2019ll be able to outlive everyone else based on the sweat of their inexperienced brows.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve moved from a large city to\u00a0a cabin in the North Woods<\/a>, where I discovered I knew nothing about building fires and living in the wilderness. We drove across the continent to move from Ontario, Canada, to the West Coast, where I had to rebuild my preps from the ground up, since US Customs would not allow us to bring our food supplies across.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s adventure is food production. My daughter and I recently moved to a small farm, eager to polish up a new skill set and\u00a0build that idealized prepper homestead that many of us dream about.<\/p>\n
