Self Reliance / Off Grid / Homesteading Lifestyle: Tip of the Week | The GRID Fights to Keep You in The Matrix for 2 Reasons Only By & Large: E.8
OffGrid Life.
--
You have to wonder, why does the GRID and the GOV'T want all of us connected soooo badly??? Right???
-- Take a sec. Ponder that.
Why do they fight every single person so hard who wants to live a simple life??? Hmmm?
....PROFIT.... TAXES..... you are a file to them, that they need to squeeze for more money.
No more, no less.
It is politics as usual.
Tip of the Week is always down a few lines
Little House on the Prairie types back in the day did not have these problems!
Being out off the grid is one way to develop more Self Reliance skills, as well as disconnect from "The Grid" --- and just immerse yourself in some nature, and the peace and quiet that goes along with it.
There are PROVEN health benefits from doing this for 2-5 days at a time, work your way up to it -- but why not try it??
Many of us want to live this way but if you cannot -- a couple days at a time is a good start for peace and your health.
Quick Tip of the Week:
Get in the Habit of Always Carrying a Knife/Multi Tool ON you.
--
The best tool you have is the one on you.
No, a multi tool may not be the best at everything, for various reasons, but it is better than having NOTHING should a need arise.
Local laws may prohibit you from carrying a full blade / restricting of blade size - so this fits several categories of handiness, legality and size.
It is handy to have a few of the tools on the ready should any need arise.
It could be as simple as cutting a piece of rope or opening a box, to needing something other than your elbow to use to glass break someone or a dog out of a car.
Will they do EVERY job in life perfectly? No.
Are they the highest quality tools you can have for every job? No.
But as we said above, it is much handier and easier to have SOMETHING on you, rather than nothing, if something comes up.
That is the reason EDC / Every Day Carry was invented as a word, to remind us of this simple but effective way of being prepared.
They are light, fit in a pocket or on a belt or in a purse, they can be worn around the neck on a lanyard or preferably using paracord, and trailed off with paracord as a secondary hold, using the loop ring with the cord, tied off on a belt loop or worn on your pack or a backpack pocket.

Some of my recent blogs:

Most stock Images / Gif's day to day usually via Giphy.com , ImgFlip, Funny or Die.com, Imgur.com, PixaBay unless otherwise noted, with thanks.
Sources usually on image or credited if I cannot find it on an image, but sometimes I forget, sorry if this bothers anyone.
Please note -- I will have limited internet access for awhile -- so PLEASE do not be upset that I cannot reply right away, or to everyone. I am dealing with some changes, and will have limited time online and will be happy if I get a few blog posts up a week.
This has really upset some people but I do not force my opinions on others, or need to communicate every detail of my life or issues, most people do not care anyways. I invested around 10 hours or more a day on Steemit most of my first 13 mths here, I just do not have that time in my life right now, and that includes for replies and voting/curation.
I have done my best, sorry if you do not understand like some are clearly having a problem with. It's a blogging platform, and I will do my best at everything, and to keep blogging.
Carry On.
