Ok, this is my absolute favorite video- shows a man urban homesteading in Pasadena, CA, USA- so it can be done in big towns just fine... He and his family of 4 live off of $30,000 a year. Incredible! This is my inspiration for prepping for inflation...

Cheers

One thing I see missing from that list is a roll of duct tape. It is a first aid kit, a clothing repair kit, a hostile alien restraint kit, a weapon modification kit (attach knife to stick=spear), and if you need more information on its uses, just watch the Red Green show.

Just don't use it for permanent duct fixes (it sucks at that).

The red green show is the ultimate!
