Neighbors Helping Neighbors

WHAT WE CALL “prepping” our grandparents called “life.” We’ve lost those skills—and the knowledge that your neighbors had your back when things got tough.Wyatt Fernow, one of the organizers of the annual Pitchfork and Hoe Gathering in Valley City, North Dakota (facebook.com/pitchforknhoe), sat down with me at this year’s event to explain why his father, Rod, came up with the idea for this get-together, the types of exhibits and workshops offered, and the lessons he hopes people take away from this gathering.I was honored to be a featured speaker Friday and Saturday night at the Pitchfork and Hoe Gathering. Links to my presentations and the Q & A sessions that followed are below.Also: Thoughts on the Israel-Hamas war and “fake Jews/fake Israel” theories.
