Amazing Skills That We Can Learn From The Amish. Learning The Right Skills Now Will Put Us In A Position To Survive And Rebuild After SHTF

If you want to observe a near-perfect communal prepping plan already in action, take a look at the Amish. They live sustainably in a community that grows or creates everything needed to survive and they don’t depend on modern technology to do it. Here are just a few skills that we can learn from the Amish.

Utilizing Nature for Power
Many people think that the Amish don’t use electricity but that’s not correct; they don’t use electricity tied to the grid or technology for the sake of indulgence or entertainment. However, that doesn’t exclude wind or solar power to power necessary tools or appliances such as refrigerators and freezers.

Depending upon location, the Amish use wind, solar and water power to add value to their community and their businesses while remaining separate.

Since they sell their dairy, eggs and other produce, they must operate within local and federal health regulations and follow the rules just like everybody else.

That means that the inside of an Amish barn may have many modern contrivances such as milking machines, refrigerators, freezers, etc. They use either gas, solar or wind power to run both that equipment and a few minimal household appliances.

They also have many tools and hydraulic powered motors that make doing business more efficient. Waste is never a good thing to a person with Amish principles and that extends to time. Thrift and efficiency are valued.
