The Talmud states (Kiddushin 29A) that one of the responsibilities of a father to his son is to teach him how to swim. Rashi explains that if he were to fall from a boat into the water it would be necessary endanger his life were he not to know how to swim.
This seems to be a basic foundation for not only personal preparedness, but the necessity to pass on this knowledge of the ways of survival to our children. Basic homesteading, proper care and use of firearms etc. should be required learning in the modern Jewish educational system!
i'm looking for kosher certified freeze dried foods. do you have any suggestions?
