Raised as a spoiled suburb kid with replacement everything a few minutes away, I am still working on skills to begin to approach what a country, farm-raised person knows already from the experience of their childhood.

I always was into Scouting and backpacking on my own, and now take survival /primitive skills courses. I feel my biggest lack is hunting / trapping / butchering.

I had stocked about 4 months of food, water, and supplies but my impending move has led me to drop about a month of the less palatable food supply. Most of my stuff, inclusding tools, is now in a storage space.

It ain't easy being a city boy trying to be prepared - but it is kind of fun!
