I finished my February essential oils class. March is working on refreshing my field medicine skills. I am trying to work on various skill sets every month.
In February, I learned a lot about essential oils and herbal medicines. I focused on natural antibiotics, antiseptics, and anti-inflammatories. I am changing up my herb garden and have some long range plans for my garden.
@littlesister @amydixon. I agree that each of us has to prep for our own particular situation. You are correct to not focus just on food but on skills too. I am at my bug out location, so I am prepping different than if I have a planned bug out. Taking into account our specific geographic location, we each have different threat scenarios with various probabilities, then adjusting our skill sets and prepping supplies.
For me, power outages happen all the time (threat) . Accordingly, I focused this year on learning to cook on my woodstove (skill set). I am not a gourmet chef, but I do a fairly decent job. With the cold climate, I have to worry about heat. I plan on keeping 3-5 years of wood in rotation as it takes about 2 years to fully season (prepping supplies).
