Hey

[rodeogirl]

Hey from Wyoming. I'm a 22 year old single mother with a 3 year old son. I was raised to be Self-sufficient But it never sunk in until I had my son. So now I'm working on getting a store of caned and dried food with a very helpful little boy.

I live in a tiny rental with no yard so livestock is out of the question. I can't wait to get a bigger place. And on top of that I still don't have my hunters safety so if I want wild game I need to rely on relatives and pray that they have extra meat. But I'm going to be taking the class this winter so I'll be able to hunt next year.

Do you raise any kind of garden in the summer? Even in a small space you can raise a lot of food. Welcome to the forum from northeast Texas.

This might sound kinda weird but....even in an apartment you can raise at least 1 kind of meat animal: Guinea Pigs, called cuy. They are small and gentle, the meat tastes a bit like squirrel (very tasty done with Shake N Bake). Don't let the fact that in this country they are primarily considered pets; chickens are often kept as pets too, and I haven't run across too many people that refuse to eat them because of that.

I would but I can't have pets in my place

Hey, back atcha. Too bad about the no animals rule. There are so many restrictions now days when you rent. Especially if it is run by a rental agency. Some places you can't even have potted plants on a terrace. Once you have children that SS gene kicks in when you are thinking past yourself. You'll get a plethora of ideas from this site. Welcome.
