This will be my record as I work on completing the 13 skills challenge started via the Survival Podcast and Jack Spirko.
At the moment I only have 12 skills to work on, I haven't decided what will be my 13th.
Here are the skills and what I hope to achieve:
Dog Training — Train my male to hunt upland birds
Composting — To learn to worm compost.
Water Catchment/Filtering — To learn how to set up rain catchment on the home. Use the rain water to water garden/trees.
Knitting — Learn how to do it, be able to knit a scarf and hat.
Gardening — Get better at planning sequence planting. Have at least half of what I plant grow and produce.
Fishing — Learn how to fly fish.
Container/Portable Gardening — Plant and grow a mini lemon tree and mini coffee tree.
Dehydrating — Dehydrate some of the veggies from the garden, using home made solar.
First Aid — Learn wilderness first aid
Hunting — Learn to hunt upland birds with the dog I am training
Shooting — Get licensed to hunt and own shotgun.
Music — Learn to play the violin.
As the year begins I have a worm composter going under the sink (here is hoping I don't kill them) and I have started training Wally.
