Hi, I'm Katie.
I've spent my life camping, living on sailboats and prepping. Living on a boat teaches you fast: water is limited, space is limited, and you learn to make do, fix things and stay calm when the weather turns.
I'm also an herbalist. Garlic honey, fire cider and elderberry syrup are staples in my kitchen, and my apothecary shelves started one jar at a time. Making remedies is a big part of how I prep, because knowing how to care for your family at home is part of being self-sufficient.
My whole approach is information without fear. You can only do the best you can, and that's enough. How you handle a hard moment shapes how your kids and your whole household handle it. So we practice, until cooking without power or a night in the dark feels normal.
