The most basic foundation of living is your food supply
clean steam distilled water, made by you
a freezer you can operate no matter what
shelter
A CEMENT FLOOR SHELTER in the North, where it freezes cold, when made correctly, will stay 50+ degrees in the coldest of winter.....any human can survive winter in such a shelter.......and the heat used to make your steam distilled water, can heart a good home all winter.
Amish long ago learned how to keep apples year around with zero electric.....and just a good thick cement floor, some water and control......and they learned long long long ago how to build a refrigerator with pond ice that last a full year....
NO ONE likes the idea of working for your food/shelter, but all should be prepared and true made, steam distilled wild oregano oil is better than gold.....LBB capsules often called better than gold.
6 foot long chest freezers can be purchased for $700 and with a little alternative energy those freezers easily operate.......chest freezers freeze your food for very little energy/expense.
Canning (jars) your own food works, but few want to work anymore---they have been brain washed by plan, so they don't want to work....that way they are easily conquered and replaced.
Old order amish work, it is normal to put up 1,000 jars of food every summer and kids 3 years old working in the gardens.....because they like to eat. You can live with out
electric, but electric is too nice to give up...12 volt electric is so cheap from the sun and easily converted to run any home and an electric car-----but battery powered cars are not good---hydrogen water powered cars were superior back in the 1970's------you could drive from 1 side of Australia to the other on 3 gallons of water. ISRAEL has water powered cars, they just put water in the tank.....
A lead sled is the proper name for an electric car.......an aluminum framed Tesla filled with lead batteries will not be good in a wreck or when the batteries short and fry you like toast.
