Preppers or Homesteading

I sometimes feel like God leads me to develop an interest in things for a reason. Years ago I use to refuse to go camping and then in 2011 my friend Misty encouraged me to go on a camping trip. Since then I have been hooked. I have come leaps and bounds from the first camping trip. I am now engaged, soon to be married in 18 days, and my fiance and I have camped together on several trips and will also be camping on our honeymoon. We have found many tips and tricks we have tried to enhance our camping experiences. Most of the ideas I have found have been on pinterest. While surfing pinterest I have ran across other things created or pinned by "preppers" and "homesteaders". I'm not a believer in the zombie Apocalypse, but I have to say some of their tricks, tips and techniques do interest me. I've always been sort of a "susie homemaker" anyway by cooking and baking "from scratch", sewing, quilting, crafting and etc. My low budget has kind of enforced that type of quality in me. You know that saying, "necessity is the mother of invention". So seeing these pins are peaking my interest. It's touching every aspect of my "susie homemaker" side. I wanna know how to open a can without a can opener, how to cure a ham, how to grown a garden and not lawn, how to make a solar oven, how to cook on a rocket stove in a dutch oven. My interest in these things may be promptings from the Lord because I will need this knowledge for the future, out of necessity. Necessity for a national disaster? Necessity for Storm Preparations. I don't know what the leading is about, but while I can I plan to learn as much as possible.
