In this episode David discusses what you can do in a small piece of land.  Its much better to start where you are then wait for the perfect situation.

Next David walks through the steps to making Mozzarella cheese.  This simple 30 minute recipe is one of his first projects, and it gave him the confidence to tackle much larger tasks.

Lastly, Dave shares his personal precepts for preparedness – 27 simple guidelines that helps David stay on the right track when it comes to living a self reliant lifestyle.

What is important is that you don’t wait for perfect opportunities, but rather get off your tail and do things to improve your situation.  Anyone can do better with what they have because anyone can work harder.

It is not always easy or fun, but prepping can be done by everyone and in any situation.  Don’t be limited by your situation.  Use your imagination and exercise your self discipline.

Preparedness is about discipline.  Doing the stuff today so you can be safer later.

In today’s Shepherd School episode, David interviews Scott Hunt (a.k.a. Engineer775) Founder of Practical Preppers.  Scott is one of my favorite You-Tubers, but he is much more than that.  He has a master’s degree in mechanical engineering, and over a decade of experience in cattle operations as well as well as all manner of infrastructure creation geared toward sustainable living and disaster preparedness.

In this episode Scott Hunt and I talk about water.  Specifically, why the traditional 1 gallon per person per day is nowhere near enough, how to get water, why skills are every bit as important as stuff, his new practical prepper pharmacy interest, and, something that was a great treat for me – he talks about gasification, something that I have a real interest in.

I am taking his ideas and video on spring boxes to try to make my own to develop a spring on my land.

I highly encourage you to visit both his YouTube channel at youtube.com/engineer775, as well as his website practicalpreppers.com.
