     So far on my own mission to find out all I can about survival I have started working on this list. I Have already had experience with sewing and gardening. Even though my gardening skills were limited I have done my research and I am getting better. My husband has been trained in combat life saving skills so I've been working with him so I too will know the skills needed in case of an emergency. You can't just rely on 1 person to have all the skills needed. Everyone should know how to survive on their own if need be. I use to be terrified of guns.. I honestly wouldn't even touch one. I don't know where my fear came from but it was there. Since I've started my survival mission I went to the range with my husband and shot his .22 rifle and his AR-15. Once I got passed the initial scare of the super loud gun it wasn't so bad. Since that day I've shot more of his guns and he bought me my first pistol, but I'll get into that more later on. I haven't yet gotten in to hunting because I can't bring myself to shoot an animal, but I'm working to find a way around that. I think if and when the time comes for me to need to hunt to survive I will be able to feed my family. I have started fishing and so far this year I've caught 6 fish! Nothing super big, but the experience of something actually biting on your line is awesome! I will be continuing working on my list. I think I've made a good start with what I've accomplished so far. 

      This isn't all you need to know it's just a jumping off point.
