In this episode of The Resilient Living Podcast, we ask a simple question: “Why should I care?”Why should you care about preparedness, gardening, fitness, water, food storage, privacy, useful skills…
Jared WilsonHostRyan StevaHost... you, you said, "Why should I care?" Um, I think this is kind of in the, you know, for the typical for us homesteading preparedness.
You know, 'cause I'm always trying to, to, to find good useful content that I can share on, on social medias.
In, in, in my endeavors, in looking through the different preparedness pages, um, there's a lot of, um, kind of fear-based stuff out there and I don't like that.
I want people to be confident in their life and livelihoods because they're prepared, not preparing because they're s- they're afraid of something.
And then as I was diving into like what topics to talk about, there's a, there's, there's so many different things that we, um, that I saw people fixating on and at the, um, detriment to other areas.
And so the question I, I was like, okay, well, why should I care? Why should I care about this thing and not this thing? Well, no, the answer's really you should think of, you should care about lots of, like all of these things.
So, um, that was kind of m- so I came up with this massive list and I don't expect us to get through the whole list.
But [laughs] but I wanted a lot of different options here because there's a lot of d- different things that, that we really should care about, that we should be prepared for and we should think about.
Um, but again, not because we're scared, not out of fear, but because we want to be resilient in our lives and our livelihoods.
Well, I think, you know, I, most people watching this have probably seen or heard of the show Doomsday Preppers.
And if you ever watch it, which watch it as a cautionary tale, not as a how to do anything.
