In an uncertain world, off-grid survival skills like growing food, conserving resources and generating energy are essential for resilience and independence. Marjory Wildcraft's docuseries highlights their importance.
Wildcraft's journey began after realizing the fragility of modern food supply chains during a volunteer project in Texas, where local farms couldn't meet basic demand. This inspired her shift from financial success to advocating food sovereignty.
Her program covers hunting, foraging, natural medicine, primitive tools and low-tech living — valuable knowledge amid infrastructure threats like cyberattacks and supply chain disruptions.
Wildcraft stresses that skills (e.g., fixing tools, storing food without refrigeration) outweigh material possessions, offering long-term security. Mike Adams echoed this, sharing his own low-tech solutions.
The series encourages teaching children these skills, fostering empowerment and adaptability. Supporting the project via BrightU.com helps disseminate these vital lessons for a sustainable future.

In a world increasingly marked by uncertainty, the importance of self-sufficiency and off-grid survival skills has never been more critical. Marjory Wildcraft joined the "Health Ranger Report" to talk about her program on Brighteon University that touches on these. Wildcraft's journey into the world of off-grid living began with a startling realization about the vulnerabilities of the modern food supply. While volunteering to bring locally grown, organic food to a small elementary school in Red Rock, Texas, she discovered a shocking truth. There were not enough local farmers to supply even a fraction of the vegetables needed. (Related: Marjory Wildcraft tells Mike Adams: People must start growing food now to survive the food crisis.) This revelation shook her to the core, leading to panic attacks and a profound understanding of the precariousness of the human food system. Before this awakening, Wildcraft had built a successful career in electrical engineering and real estate, even becoming a spokesperson for Robert Kiyosaki's "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" infomercials. However, her experience in Texas shifted her focus from financial wealth to food sovereignty. The expert on sustainable living decided to dedicate herself to learning and teaching others how to grow their own food, a mission she has pursued for the past 25 years. The conversation then shifted to the current state of the world, with Adams highlighting the increasing threats to infrastructure, from chicken farms being shut down to businesses struggling with inflation and supply chain issues. Wildcraft agreed, emphasizing that the skills she teaches are more relevant than ever, especially in the face of potential cyber attacks and other disruptions. "The world we're in is incredibly unreal, and we just don't know what else is coming," she told the Health Ranger. "We're in some really volatile time. We're in the apocalypse," Wildcraft said.

A wealth of knowledge: The "Off Grid Survival Skills" program

Wildcraft's program is a treasure trove of practical knowledge. It includes 39 presentations and 21 ebooks, covering a wide range of topics:

Hunting and foraging: Beginners' guides to hunting deer and foraging for acorns, a staple food source for Native Americans.
Wild plant identification: A walkthrough of edible plants and flowers, teaching viewers how to identify and prepare them.
Natural medicine: Techniques for treating infections without antibiotics, using herbs and natural remedies.
Primitive skills: Learning to make sandals from tires, a skill that could be crucial in a scenario where imported goods are unavailable.
Living without refrigeration: Tips from Woniya Thibeault, the first female winner of the Alone competition, on how to store food without electricity.
Alternative energy and low-tech solutions: Embracing low-tech living, from using wood heat to hand pumps, and the importance of having durable, high-quality tools.

Wildcraft emphasized that these skills are not just about survival; they are about empowerment. "Skills triumph over stuff," the founder and CEO of The Grow Network said while also stressing that being able to do things yourself, make and fix things is going to get a person a lot further down the road. Adams agreed, sharing his own experiences with low-tech solutions, such as using bailing wire and a screwdriver to create a makeshift pipe fitting. As the interview concluded, Wildcraft highlighted the importance of preparing for a future that may be very different from the present. "We're in a vortex, and it's not going to be easy to get from point A to point B," she said. "But having these skills will be tremendously valuable." The sustainable living expert also emphasized the value of sharing these skills with the next generation. Children naturally resonate with these things and teaching them how to grow food and care for animals can be incredibly inspiring and empowering. Wildcraft's message is clear: In an uncertain world, self-sufficiency and practical skills are key to navigating the challenges ahead. Her program offers a wealth of knowledge and resources for anyone looking to take control of their future and build a more resilient life.
