Yes Jesus already warned us that we are to be prepared several place in the Bible. It is already foretold. So we are to be ready..whatever happens. By us being prepared we are passing down these ideas and tradition. Being prepared for His coming and being prepared for any problem in the nation economy or our own. Or to help others that need it. It is our own responsibility. <br /> I even appreciate it when I am so tired I hardly feel like cooking. I already had prepared easy menus or canned things that can so quickly become meals. Do it Before you want or need it !! Do it when you do have the time and resources. <br /> I am trying to put in more and more things on the property that will come back on their own. Fruit trees and fruit vines and such. Some herbs. Even if I don't get a garden going say because i get sick we will still have those things growing fresh. The things canned, and dried will fill in other places for our meals. <br /> I used flat stones for pattern weights till I was given some coated metal ones. I like your covered weights...so pretty! I think mending which includes darning is one very good basic tool to know. If you can do that and keep an open mind when you see a garment that you can't use but can be redone for another purpose you have a lot going. Then go on to learn more and more. There are so many things to help us to learn. But the fun is in getting to doing it. :-) I found my sewing hams at a used store. They had no idea what they were. They asked and now they know. <br /> I don't think preparing as worrisome but like a hobby. A good thing to work on. Rather fun. :) It is very rewarding to know you have another skill you have learned. One you can also then teach another. <br /> This week I stocked a few extra gardening things. I also took cuttings of some herbs and plants to make more to replant when they are rooted. I am reading and learning how to do more of this. I started a notebook about our gardens and landscaping. List each plant and when it needs fertilizing and pruning and how to root it etc. It will be a quick reference that will only have our own plants. Now when I need to know when something needs care I can scan just this one notebook. I will keep our garden plans in it too and list of plants that have or have not worked on our property. I do like having the notebooks like you have done on many subjects. When we were in school had home ec. class we had to make a notebook of stitches and such. I am a person who learns by seeing And doing and realized even back then how helpful the idea was. :) I hope more people respond with their own skills and ideas.
