Can you track the deer? Can you dig the well?

[RandomGirl42]

Yes, Random is a total country redneck hick who actually listens to country music

There's a popular song in these parts by Corb Lund called :

"Gettin' down on the mountain" which has the lyrics:

"Can you break the horse? Can you light the fire? What's that, I beg your pardon?
You best start thinking where food comes from and I hope you tend a good garden"

So, with all that's going on in the world these days, if this little electronic world goes out for any length of time , it makes me wonder who can really survive? Our family has lived off the land for generations. We have our own spring water, get our own firewood, grow and store our own fruits/veggies for the long winter months. We hunt/fish and know what herbs to use for medicinal purposes. I have never gone hungry a day in my life and it's not 'cuz I'm a spoiled rich princess. We work hard when we need to and we know how to survive.

We also know how to make booze out of just about anything since my family was well known for being "bootleggers" in years gone past and we keep up the proud heritage. But that's beside the point.

So, the questions I pose to you, dear G@G community, are, "Can you track the deer? Can you dig the well?"

And the picture was supposed to be on the bottom and I screwed up where the link for the song is. Maybe I can survive offline but I sure as hell can't do anything online! 🤣

It's amazing in life when you are put to the test or position to where you have to do something.. on what you can really do. That's why I say I am so blessed because either I have been put in that position

Or I have put myself in that position have taken that challenge , because that's the way you have to look at it

You either do or you don't

And in life, if you don't, then\nYou're going to be up again something even harder. So you have to make it work

And when you can do that you realize there's nothing that you can't do

[ohsheeT]

Thank you for the hmo or what ever it is
This question has been on my mind since I answered it

Just because you have to think we can do anything if we have to

So many dont even try
But I think what happens if you were in a position that was?
Life or death. Would people try. I would think they would die trying if that what it takes. Love your questions

[RandomGirl42]

Ty. I believe we would die trying too. 💖

[ohsheeT]

No one escapes without a chinque in their armor. Even Achilles had his heel.

I'm a suburbian, but still fairly practical. I can change a tractor tire, I can dig a trench, I can fire a boomstick in a certain direction. For some stuff I would need some guidance first, of course.
