IN thinking of the type of social climate which is bound to ensue when Republicans come into power, I am wondering- Is there a place for the physically/mentally hanidicapped in feralculture?
I wonder how physically fit I am, and if I had what it would take to be a frontiersmen/woman, as it were.
I’ve read a lot of these posts- i’m sorry if i’m asking something already addressed elsewhere!
but, it does seem to be daunting…except for maybe the very fittest people!!

The harder part of the answer is how this fits in with rebuilding a culture in our current context. It’s not as if one person can forage and build shelter for hundreds of people who depend on that kind of support. As with anything, it depends on the circumstances and will take time and effort to find balance.
thats awesome.
