Back 2 Basics

This is for those people who are concerned with the current trends in the world around us and find the need to be prepared an ever recurring thought in their mind. We will be learning basic skills to help us survive in this not so safe world anymore. Things like container gardening, making soap, identifying plants and making herbal tinctures or oils, harvesting and preserving foods, food storage and how to cook with basic staples in times of distress, water purification and first aid. If this sounds like something that interests you....then sign up today and lets learn together!
