Tweet Today Steven Harris and I answer your questions on Bug Out Trailers. This time we discuss bugging out in conjunction with the real world on the ground reality of the California wild fires. This is the eighth in a multi part series that began with Episode-2117- Steven Harris and Jack Spirko on Bug Out Trailers. As this is clearly going to become a multi episode series I have created the tag BOT Shows so that all of them can be found at one location. The response to the first in the series was overwhelming, Steve compiled and sent me 14 pages of questions, I printed it out and it feels like a small book, and these are just questions and a few notes here and there. So we are going to run about 1 hour and 15 minutes on the interview and break it into pieces parts over the next few months.

Tweet Over and over we hear people beating up on the millennial generation, and I am sure it will soon be Generation Z’s time to be beaten up on soon.  I get it, it does bother me when a 19 year old kid doesn’t even know what a ratchet is for instance.  However, how’d they get this way? We did it!  The last of the Baby Boomers (aka Tweeners) and GenX we did it by not teaching them about, well almost everything.  We pretty much outsourced all learning to the school system.  I mean we came from it, so we know it isn’t great but as many of us were “latch key kids” that raised ourselves we figured it was good enough for us so…… Problem is folks, things like home economics, shop class, etc have largely been removed from our schools.  As have the higher “life meaning” components to things like history and economics.  In other words as lacking as our education was, this young people today have it worse.  They may learn to pass tests but they don’t get taught how to do anything. So what is the solution, go join the PTA?  Run for the school board?  How about something simpler, be a parent that teachers, trains and spends time with your kids doing cool stuff.  Today I try to give you some ideas for that, that will help kids learn.  The good news is kids actually love learning. Join Me Today to Discuss… Why so many kids weak and uninformed First it is our fault They don’t know pain we have bubble wrapped them They don’t know failure we have insulated them from it They don’t know challenge, we have robbed them of it They have unlimited access to “entertainment” We are in a transitional stage of humanity they are caught in it Some fun stuff to do with kids that teaches them about life and nature Make butter – this is so simple Cook a simple soup with them Teach them to build a fire Make an herbal salve Take short hikes in the woods/nature trails, etc Have occasional “lights out” nights Watch movies and TV shows from your childhood Involve them in a car repair project Put them on an incentive based allowance program Help them create a budget Go to botanical gardens, zoos, aquariums, etc. Grow microgreens or do sprouts Build a bug out bag with them and discuss it Involve them in basic pantry planning Do “career research” with a work sheet Teach them basic excel – learn yourself if you don’t have the skill Make your own “MREs” Learn to shoot something, bow/bb gun/slingshot/airsoft/etc. What can you think of?

Tweet Most people are familiar with “The Serenity Prayer”.  This prayer was actually written by the American theologian Reinhold Niebuhr (1892–1971).  The long version is seldom spoken of and it is much more what you would expect from a truly religious prayer.  You can learn more about that if it interests you here. The version most know, the one on necklaces, coffee cups and used in many 12 step programs is very simple and yet very profound, even for those like myself or are non religious people, is simply states… God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, Courage to change the things I can, and the Wisdom to know the difference. Like I said this prayer is incredibly well known and even practiced by some atheists who simply remove any higher power from the concept and consider the substance of… Accept what you can’t change, and change what you can. This is the concept that led to Steven Covey’s famous circle of influence vs. your circle of concern.  I was thinking about all this recently and I realized in many instances these two pieces of wisdom often fail to work as a team, because people simply tend to focus on the first, and therefore expect the second to happen. Such as if you simply stop worrying about or focusing on that which you can’t change, you will only be left with what you can influence, so you will have an impact on those things.  The thing is, that actually does work to a degree and that can be bad.  Why?  It can lead to not doing enough to better your lot in life. I think the flaw for most people that consider the wisdom and apply it to a degree of simply, accept what you can’t change, and change what you can, is they fail to do enough to even identify “that which can be changed”.
