    That would be another great topic. If I remember correctly on somebody on reddit asked how to raise the next generation and what skilsl you should pass on for more resilience. I have no children, yet, but maybe its a topic for others in this community.

      I have been climate crisis aware for decades but had kids a decade ago and have been raising them to survive the coming crisis and lead others in a small community. Skills/lessons I’m attempting to impart include, in no particular order:

      • A guiding sense of fairness and humility. They’re exceptional but that comes with an obligation to help others

      • Awareness of the duality of man, both danger and kindness

      • Love of nature

      • Fishing

      • Archery

      • Firearm safety/usage/maintenance

      • Small unit tactics for CQB (taught with Nerf and laser tag currently)

      • Basic first aid

      • Knowledge of innate human rights and the current threats to them

      • Growing food

      • How to cook delicious food quickly and efficiently for fuel conservation

      • Self-care, including mental health

      I don’t know exactly what the future holds, but I want them ready for an unfriendly world when they’re adults. Hopefully they have enough time to build community with like-minded people and live out their days in peace and harmony with nature.
