14 Important Pieces of Weather Advice Passed Down From the Pioneers

pioneers cabin

While preparing for survival, we do a lot of reading. During that time it's common that when something occurs to us, we will go online or pick up a book that strikes our fancy. This is especially the case if it pertains to something we’ve become obsessed about, such as survival topics. It’s nice to have that luxury.

However, back in pioneer days, men and women pretty much had to go by word of mouth. Either they spoke with other pioneers about weather and farming tips or they listened to the advice given to them by parents and grandparents from years before. They then modified this advice for their then modern age.

We are here to tell you what was modern back then could become common today again. Once the grid goes down, when the SHTF, survivalists, and preppers are more than probably going to have to live off the land.

They will be checking out weather patterns through a farmer’s almanac, or using the sage advice of their grandparents, and use the experiences of our great-grandparents and the pioneers of another age.

After the break let fourteen pieces of weather advice soak in (no pun intended!) from the days of the pioneers!

    Why do all these doomsday advice threads always involve living in the woods in a some sought of self built shelter – log cabin – tree house – bell tent etc?
    What’s wrong with the robust brick houses that most of us (in blighty) already inhabit?

    David those homes, communities, neighborhoods, etc…will be the first ones hit when there’s a food shortage and I am certain the HOA doesn’t have rules for that. Those that live away from those areas stand a better chance of survival and longer sustainability.

    Romantic ideology maybe. But won’t everyone else have the same idea?
    We’re sociable animals that thrive in communities; that will be relocated to little huts in the woods.
