Who Should Take This Challenge

This challenge is for people who have woken up to the fragility of life; who have seen their lives or their friends’ and family members’ lives turn upside down nearly overnight. 

It’s for people who understand the need for government assistance, but who don’t believe it will change their situation for the long-term. 

We’re living within the pages of George Orwell’s novel, 1984, right now. In many ways, we’re at the mercy of what politicians believe is right or wrong for us. It’s scary, but we can retain some control over our futures in the present. 

“War is peace.
Freedom is slavery.
Ignorance is strength.”
― George Orwell, 1984

Our forefathers ensured that we would have protections against our “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” Protections aren’t the same as guarantees. We must still secure these rights for ourselves. 

If you’re ready to find out exactly how self-sufficient you could become at little to no cost in less than 20 minutes a day, join the Finding Country community in our 30 Day Self Sufficiency Challenge.
