I have old Scots and Scotch-Irish in the family tree. Montgomerys, Alexanders, Sandlinsโ€ฆ Cannot begin to describe what an earthquake this would be to present-day Scots. Oh my word. The celebrations would last for weeks.

A set of the Foxfire books, or at least the edition that focuses on food, food storage/prep, would be a great help.

Our grandparents and ancestors may not have had "formal educations" (although we now know precisely what THAT is worth), but they knew about living by their wits and off the land.

Most of what I know deals only with food/hunting in the Southeast, because I live here

90 degree heat is why nobody ever had a hog killin' in the summertime. Wait til it gets good and cold outside, and be sure to have some family/friends helping. It is hard work that takes several strong hands. There are YT videos of hog killings for reference.

If you are going to start with some laying hens, you could probably easily raise a few hogs.

If you had a couple of geese, they would let you know LOUDLY if an person or animal predator came up on your place, and geese are also fantastic for insect control on your vegetable plants.

Always sleep with your outdoor shoes right next to where you sleep, so in case you need to put them on fast during the night, you can.

Growing sweet potatoes, and learning how to keep them over the winter in a hole, layered with hay or straw, is a cinch.

My grandparents always dried fruit slices out in the sunshine on old window screens. Just lay them out there on a good dry couple of days. Oh my goodness, the fried peach and apple piesโ€ฆ

I could go on all day long.

Good luck to you buddy, you're gonna be just fine. It will all seem natural to you in no time.
