Most of us have never had to hunt just to eat nor have we had to work hard to make sure we had grains and fruits and vegetables stored enough for the winter. But there has been an increase of Young Adults, who may not want to live that lifestyle again, but they do want to know the skills their ancestors had.

More and more young adults are growing gardens and learning how to can what isn't immediately eaten. Learning the life skills our ancestors held will give us a greater understanding of who they were.
