It's very good to meet you all! Haven't been on a forum in a while.
I'm a 20 year old curious fellow born in the U.S.A. and currently living in Canada, looking to increase my knowledge and (hopefully not) put it to use. Mainly, I want to learn how to live in the harsh conditions (particularly the wilderness) for extended periods of time. I want to be able to learn about how to physically get myself out of tight situations (kidnappings, home invasions, etc.). I would love to learn about how to survive homelessness if I ever lost my job or my home. I would love to learn about amateur radio techniques that seem all-too foreign to me right now. I would also love to learn more about military training/military skills as that has always fascinated me. Honestly I would love to learn it all.
After some of my life experiences, I've been committed to hardening myself so then I could widen my options if the floor fell in and we all met hell. Well, I'm finally fulfilling that commitment; I joined a forum with all you wonderful people so I could learn how to do just that!
Any resources or any pointers for a near-total beginner would be absolutely appreciated. Otherwise, I'll be sticking around for a while. Thank you!
P.S. I am also "tight budgeted" at all times. I have hardly any money to spend on prepping, so DIY or inexpensive options are particularly handy! Thanks again!
