Unfortunately the government is coming for their way of life. I can't imagine how the government thinks that it's OK to shutdown all their farms for their time tested ways to raise meats and milk. To my knowledge no one has ever got sick from foods cooked from Amish raised foods. It makes me sick the way the government is going after them.

They want everyone reliant on the government for food. So they have to attack people who are self-sufficient.

[@sheilabrennan5543]

Our Government in Ontario are not bothering them

[@reneebrown2968]

@@sheilabrennan5543 glad to hear that. I wish our government would leave them alone. Alot of people depend on the food they sell, and our government is trying to stop them from selling it to them. I guess it is a case of control the food, control the people. It's really sad

[@JamesHollinger-lt8qx]

Same reason it's against their law to call some thing a cure for ???? Unless it's a pharmaceutical drug. ... I think that says it all....

[@SuzHarris2]

The number one asset of the Amish is their community. Building homes, and barns, quilting, gardening and canning for a year's worth food for a large family takes many hands. Each Amish community revolves around their church. That is the best lesson anyone can learn from the Amish. Get God back into your every day life. Because I know plenty of Amish who don't own a horse, shop at Walmart's, use solar, and use propane lights. But they ALL have a community.

[@user-vw9gy4ze5l]

Always said you should study the Amish. My brother-in-law's wife does not like them and thinks their buggys should be banned. SHTF? I'll take the Amish way.

[@vonnacoppock5105]

Living around a large Amish community, they have solar power for electricity, propane for heat, hire non-amish to drive them to Sam's club, have skid steerers, etc.

[@Rifleman1964]

I drive the neighbors to China-mart every week to pick up Huggies’, food, cleaning supplies… They know how to survive but most have a job and a side business and don’t have time to be self sufficient.

Unfortunately you forgot the most important survival tool of all, their religion. Survive like that.

[@colleengleason6533]

Not their religion. I'd rather follow Jesus. The Amish believe that how you get into heaven is how Amish you were living when you died. 😢 It's really sad. That is partially why they are so strict because their life determines their eternal destiny. (And for any haters that want to come at me I learned this from reading the religious publications of the Amish themselves) Great people, sad religious beliefs.

[@1234Mirin]

@@colleengleason6533 I understand you but it's thier religion that is the foundation of their society, wheather you beilve as they do or not. So, my point is get behind your own religion as a foundation of for survival in your own life.

Sound advice.

[@spockmcoyissmart961]

Who here thinks they can make a 2x4 out of a pine tree? Try to make 1, and get back to me when you want to build a house. Heck, try to build a shed, no, try to make a box. Let me know how long that took you, or if you could even do it. If electricity is knocked out by an emp or the sun, we will be civilized until the stores empty. Then we will be back to living in the stone age.

[@ElizabethGontkovic-uq4mw]

Solar power, as long as we have the son.. Back in olden days (😅) they didn't have electricity and some Beautiful homes were built..Lot of man power..Logs, pines , shave the bark, build a cabin.. Not all will be helpless.

[@spockmcoyissmart961]

@@ElizabethGontkovic-uq4mw Maybe 1% will have the manual tools to do the work, and the skill to know how to use them. The colonists dug pits and laid a tree over top of it. 1 man was in the pit. 1 was on top. They pulled a saw up and down to cut boards out of trees. Back breaking work. No one is manufacturing saws like that. I have no idea how many water driven saw mills still exist.

I have. Rebuilt a 36' wooden boat with a double handled buck saw, an adz, draw knife, hand planer and a wood fired steam box. You know.... how they did it before power tools.

[@spockmcoyissmart961]

here is my question about bicycles. If things get so bad I need to depend on a bicycle, where am I going to pedal too? With no trucks/cars, stores won't be stocked, so there really isn't any place to go to, worth the human energy. "well maybe you can pedal to a friends house''. No, I'm not.

[@prepping4tomorrow]

What about if you wanted to leave to a different location or a cabin, a bicycle could get you there. Also if you have a bicycle and wagon you can use it to haul food from your garden or friends or neighbors, family members places.

[@MsLookinup]

@@prepping4tomorrowRight. Or maybe go fishing or haul water from a water source.

[@spockmcoyissmart961]

@@prepping4tomorrow I thought a lot about buying property and building, or buying an old place and fixing it up as a back up location. Then I thought of how the locals would know what is going on there, checking it out during the week because they'd see I work on it only on weekends. So I put solar on the roof/yard, LP generator, LP tank for gen/heat/cooking, battery bank, inverter, food/preps etc. I figure it will be 2.5 hrs away from me in the mountains. IF something goes wrong, and I have to head there, I"d show up, and it will be occupied by Billy Bob and his family. Now, do I 'shoot my way in' with my family in my family truckster? Or just leave it? IF you think the locals like you, forget it. They like you in good times because you buy food/lumber locally. But when times get tough, you are an 'outsider' and they will shoot/shovel to take what you have. IMO.

[@battalion151R]

​@spockmcoyissmart961 Get to know your new neighbors. I used to go caving in Pulaski County Ky. For years, we relied on a few locals kindness. One of my friends bought an old rundown farm. All of a sudden we were members of the community. We started to know the locals and we took a day, here and there, to help them with labor intensive chores. One farmer and his family became pretty close friends. We'd helped them with their tobacco harvest for a weekend. We all looked like we'd come out of a minstrel show, but everyone had a great time. And, we accomplished 2 weeks work for him in 2 days. After that we were pretty golden. Word spread through the small community and we had plenty of new cave opportunities as more and more locals got to know us. We even had one of the local moonshiners share some caves with us. The moral of this story is; don't be an unapproachable outsider. Be kind. Be trustworthy. That's how "community " works.

[@lindasmith6202]

Don't know where you got your information but you're way off. First of all, most of the men featured were not Amish; you could tell by the facial hair. Wal-mart (and a few other businesses) have hitching posts & shade for the horse & buggies to park. You didn't mention where they got the lamp oil that lights their homes. All of them have propane tanks & many have solar systems. They are not totally self-sufficient tho ahead of many of us.
