This week I’m chatting with Jesscy Dean (aka The Wild Homesteader) about foraging, food preservation, sourcing your own food, and old skills like that in general! Food seems to be the theme of this conversation, and why not? It is THE fundamental skill set that!
While a lot of our conversation revolves around food, Jesscy has is involved in a number of other crafts and we talk about her felting, hide tanning, and general ethos of self reliance as well.
