Self-Reliant Living -

Self -Reliant Living bySafe Harbor Alliance, hosted by Jim Phillips. Kent Scott Primitive Survival Skills We can look to the people and civilizations of both the near and distant past to learn of tools, skills, attitudes and ways of living that can help us on our journey. Some of what can be learned is not really so out of date and has application in our everyday life. This is especially true about attitudes concerning lifestyle. At no time is this more true than during disasters or times when our lives have been totally disrupted and thrown into disarray by unexpected events. In our day and time, with some of the extraordinary materials and tools at our disposal, it is easy to discount things from the past. Yet there are tools, skills, ways of doing things and ways of thinking that can be adapted to each of our lives. Some of these will save your life when things get really tough.
