Volition the Good Times Last?

Could a global economic disaster someday forcefulness united states into a lifestyle more like that of our keen-great grandparents?

People in before generations grew their own food, traded locally with neighbors and depended on personal talents and skills to supply their everyday needs. The economy of many small countries still operates in a similar way.

On the other mitt, modern people of industrialized nations with advanced technology and complex economies a have lost touch with basic pioneer skills. They could be hit difficult by a financial plummet. Many of us practice non realize how dependent on technology we accept become.

Ironically, people in "poor" less developed areas with an agricultural base will be better prepared for whatsoever drastic change. They already know how to live without the advantages and luxuries nosotros take for granted.

The Commencement Necessity is Information

Rochelle Frank (author) from California Gold Land on November 22, 2014:

My mom besides survived the Depression, the War, every bit well as an convulsion. I believe she knew how to do everything. She could sew together anything from underwear to wedding dresses, I all the same take beautiful sweaters she knitted and she was good at repairing and fixing things in general. OK-- she wasn't a gourmet cook, but she knew how to put a meal on the tabular array.

I'll bet a lot of people don't fifty-fifty know about turning collars or what side-to-eye means. I appreciate your comment very much.

Kate Swanson from Sydney on November 22, 2014:

This is an excellent bespeak. Information technology's amazing how little people know nearly bones skills - it seems like well-nigh people can't even sew on a button whatever more than!

I come across that fifty-fifty in women in their fifties and sixties. I was a late baby (my mother was over 40), and having an older mother means that I learned many things that women with younger moms missed out on.

My mother grew up in the Depression and was a immature woman during the war, so she learned how to brand do - and taught me. I have never had to sides-to-middle my sheets or plough the collars on shirts, I don't knit or crochet - but I know how. It's a pity these skills aren't being passed on today.

Alise- Evon on March 11, 2013:

Besides being prepared for possible difficult times, knowing these skills tin can be good for your health- I try to make every bit much food equally I can from scratch, wildcraft herbs for tea and medicine, and do a bit of foraging. This gives me more control over what ingredients go into my food (food coloring? don't think so, etc.), and also makes me find local suppliers or local people with skills that compliment my own. Information technology is prissy to be more than connected to your community in this way, also.

Cheers for the useful information, especially about other Hubbers who write most these things.

pramodgokhale from Pune( Republic of india) on March 10, 2013:

This commodity is actually a alarm and guidance how to survive.If economy collapses as you lot mentioned " Pioneer Skills" Older generations who faced world wars ,famines ,They were mentally tough to accept on such challenges.

Off-Grid and without fridge , can not imagine.In Republic of india new middle class is emerging and just able to absorb shocks just next generation we do not know whether they can sustain?

Cheers

Nathan Bernardo from California, The states of America on March 09, 2013:

Very useful and necessary information, and I never thought almost the not bad resource that Hubpages is for this kind of information. I think this kind of knowledge is going to be necessary eventually; for one thing, our economic system is not sustainable in the long-run, and the long-run is getting shorter. Definitely we need to look into these alternative and bones ways of living and these valuable skills. I like how you laid out how to organize the information, and the practical items necessary for survival in the plummet.Thanks for the insight and the knowledge.

Marie Hurt from New Orleans, LA on March 08, 2013:

Very helpful for when you can't go online. We get so used to looking things up on the computer, merely oftentimes in a disaster state of affairs you tin can't utilize your cell or a calculator. Keeping information handy and accessible in an emergency will be invaluable. Great ideas. I don't recall we are prepared at all to conditions an economic disaster.

Rochelle Frank (author) from California Gold Country on March 08, 2013:

From reading some of your hubs and comments, Sherry Hewins, I call up you would have a head first. I have just had brief camping experiences that did not involve pipes or sewers of whatsoever kind. Modern plumbing conveniences are certainly amongst civilization's almost taken-for-granted attributes.

Rochelle Frank (author) from California Gold Country on March 08, 2013:

I estimate thinking about how y'all could feed yourself, IS food for idea. Hopefully we won't have to go that far. Thank you for your comment, rebeccamealey.

Rochelle Frank (author) from California Gold Country on March 08, 2013:

Really, I am quite an optimistic sort, AudreyHowitt. I don't call back I volition see united states having to resort to older technologies, all together-- just It is reassuring to know that I would have some idea of how to deal with it. That thought, really takes away much of the scariness.

Sherry Hewins from Sierra Foothills, CA on March 08, 2013:

I hope it never comes to that Rochelle, just I recall if it does I will have a head get-go on a lot of Americans. When I was younger I lived a very rustic lifestyle, even without electricity and having to haul water. It's been a long fourth dimension, and I would not like to get dorsum to that, merely I do know how. Thank you for an of import reminder.

Rebecca Mealey from Northeastern Georgia, USA on March 08, 2013:

Gosh, it is great to think ahead and be prepared for anything, this surely does do that! Hopefully, nosotros have learned from past generations and don't have to become THAT for. This is a good food-for-thought commodity.

Audrey Howitt from California on March 08, 2013:

This is kind of scary actually--the idea that we may need to get together ourselves in the confront of some sort of global meltdown--only practical nonetheless

Rochelle Frank (author) from California Golden Land on January 23, 2012:

Every bit for purses, I wrote a hub nigh why I haven't carried ane in years.

Rachelle Williams from Tempe, AZ on December 12, 2011:

Timely advice here Rochelle. I decided a while ago to move toward a more frugal lifestyle, but ...I did non realize how much I would miss striking the mall every weekend and slapping a Coach purse on the old Visa.. (I know, ridiculous, huh?)

Rochelle Frank (author) from California Gold Country on December 08, 2011:

2uesday-- information technology is hard to think about, but if more people practise think about it, things will be better for all of the states. This country-- and many others-- were built on self-sufficiency.

Information technology'due south foolish to retrieve that someone else, peculiarly government, will always be in that location to assist.

2uesday on December 07, 2011:

I had to smile as I read this because I tin can already exercise some of the things you mention and savour them. Simply the thought of the economy collapsing is atrocious and I cannot imagine how people would cope. This did make an interesting just worrying read.

Rochelle Frank (author) from California Golden Land on Nov 08, 2011:

Hope I can acquire to Hub even Half every bit well as you lot. Thanks once again.

Nigam Shah from India on Nov 07, 2011:

I gauge that along with knowledge people should also start exercising as if there comes a time when what Rochelle says becomes true and then people who are not in a good shape will face a lot of trouble.

Like you might know how to plough the state merely if your body is non capable of performing the job than all that cognition becomes useless.

so i hope people start exercising soon.

Peggy Woods from Houston, Texas on November 06, 2011:

Every bit yous said, our grandparents and great grandparents were meliorate prepared than most of united states today to weather economic collapses like what happened in the Cracking Low. More people farmed back in those days and during both world wars so many people had gardens. Living more frugally is good communication and hopefully your alert will not come to pass...merely good information to have. Always better to exist prepared than the alternative.

Phil Plasma from Montreal, Quebec on November 02, 2011:
