I love articles like this. I have long advocated a return to frontier values in America. They constituted much of the vital foundation of traditional American culture. There has been a direct correlation between the weakening of frontier values and the deterioration of American culture.
I would like to watch this article but every time I click on it, it starts and than some damn pop up takes me to a kids game- f***
They are not ‘American Frontier Values’ – they are Human survival lessons. The USA was built with shop bought axes, plows an guns. All our forefathers (and Mothers) learnt to survive long before the first Europeans landed on the shores of America. They learnt to mine and smelt iron to make tools. They learnt to build long term shelters. They learnt to survive. The fact that you and I are here today proves this.
Foxfire books have a wealth of info for living without modern stuff, etc.
