I have not ...I bought it and and read it last year. I have not put any of the "skills" to work yet, and as such I need to read it again (by skills I mean fire making exc). I also read the half of Tom Brown's book. with limited time away from two kids and a full time job I work on what I can easily. <br /><br /> Which brings me to my point. I have almost no physical survival skills. I'm horrible with my hands, retarded at construction, and over all I'm a walking disaster when it comes to what most people call "survivalism." What I my current schedule does allow me to work on is the psychology of survival and thriving actually. <br /><br /> I no longer take for granted that what I have today will be there tomorrow. I can't get out much, so I planted native wild food plants in my yard. I'll learn about them here. I've thought through on many levels what I will need to do with small children and limited skills and resources (I bought a propane stove that also takes charcoal. I have over 50 lbs in charcoal in my shed and lighter fluid. <br /><br /> I also have chickens and am learning how to compost. I am in the process of putting bug out gear together (this will take years as my family is very particular about where such things are stored). I am also having gutters put on my shed, and my bride has agreed to allow a water catch on it. <br /><br /> Instead of looking at what my family dynamics and current resources would not allow me to do. I focused on what I could do. Reading your book (and COdy Lundin's book as well) helped me to focus on what I can do. Or put simply, doing something is better than doing nothing even if you would like to do more. <br /><br /> Besides my mind set still needs some work, and it is the most important aspect of this whole thing. Without it your toast even if you have all the physical skills in the world. In the end one can only do what they can do (it's not worth getting divorced for).<br /><br /> Plus, I have come to the conclusion that there are far worse things than death. Like walking around paranoid and not really living now. mousiemarchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10946780831209471709noreply@blogger.com
