Category: The Self Sufficient Life
Description:
I have always been a very independent person. It boggles my mind how someone could be satisfied being totally dependent on a system, a government or another person. To me, for an adult to be totally dependent is the equivalency of slavery. My life is simple. I do not need the intricate technology that marketing “experts” have convinced so many that they must have and neither does anyone else. There is nothing wrong with technology. After all, I have a computer. However, there is something very wrong with allowing yourself to become a slave to it. If one wants to be free one must return to the basics and one must, once again, think for themselves.You will find videos made by myself and playlists consisting of videos from others to help you become self sufficient. I am also re-learning. I forgot much over the years. Please comment on my videos so I will know if I have helped. Please comment, add info and send video responses.

Preparing now for…
