Ever since the emergence of simple living, people slowly have been learning new skills and becoming more and more self-sufficient. Owning a garden and subsequently the amount of food that can be preserving have grown by leaps and bounds in the last few years. Also having raised some chickens with probably a plan to get more animals in the near future has made humans more fulfilled.

Being 100% self-sufficient is not actually the goal, but it's wise to be able to grow some (or a lot!) of your own food and know how to get by without the help of others if the need arises.

If you're just starting out on your journey to self-sufficiency this guide would tell you to focus on one thing and learn how to do it well, then as time goes on you can add another thing.

It can be overwhelming to try to learn everything at once so take a look at the list in this guide and see what sounds doable to you. But in case you still need some tips and ideas on how you can go about with what you have, we have a couple we'd like to share. So confident you'll find them very useful.
