Things are tough economically for many people. Will it get worse? We don’t know, so why not be prepared. At my blog, the Black Bear Blog, I’ve began a new feature where I will provide expert advice on how to be independent and survive tough times – how to cook, grow your own food, preserve food, build shelter, kindle a fire, self protection, living off the land, etc.
