### What is Your True Currency in an Uncertain World?
Hi everyone, I came across a video that poses a provocative question: In a major systemic collapse, where our current financial and food systems fail, what becomes the real currency for survival? The video argues it's not money, but tangible goods and practical skills—things like food, medicine, fuel, and the knowledge to heal, build, and grow. This got me thinking on a deeper level, moving beyond "prepping" to resilience and community. I'd love to hear your perspective. Let's exchange not from fear, but from wisdom: 1. The "What": If you had to choose, what ONE practical skill (e.g., fermenting, herbal first aid, seed saving, small engine repair) do you believe would be your most valuable asset, and why? 2. The "Who": Beyond goods and skills, what human qualities (e.g., trust, cooperation, storytelling, conflict resolution) would become the true "currency" of a new community? 3. The "Now": How can we start building that resilience today? Is it by learning to grow a kitchen herb garden, forming a local skill-share group, or simply strengthening bonds with our neighbors? This isn't about doomsday; it's about rediscovering the foundational elements of a sustainable life. Our collective knowledge is the most valuable resource we have. Watch the video here if you're curious: [The One Currency That Will Decide Who Survives After Collapse] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nP3N78WluM What are your thoughts? What is your "true currency"?

The ultimate natural resource to prepare for resilience is bamboo. You can eat it, use it as a cooking utensil, feed it to your cattle, filter your water, build your house, make your furniture, your weapons, traps, musical instruments, fabric, paper, fences, biochar. For some puzzling reason, there's still some places left on the next workshop. If resilience is important to you, I'd recommend attending. Apart from the bamboo knowledge you will meet people who are 'doing' rather than just 'posting'. When things get interesting the most valuable currency just might be the relationships you make with such people. See you there.
