I grew up in Idaho in a big family. I come from a long line of those. As early as I can remember we&#8217;ve grown fruits and vegetables and spent countless hours every fall preserving what we could for the rest of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My Latter-Day Saint upbringing instilled in me the desire to live within my means and to be prepared for whatever situations may come my way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m an outdoorsman and like to practice lots of ways to cook and various practical and survival skills. My parents taught me that it&#8217;s better to know things you might not need than to not know something you may end up needing. So I like to learn and develop skills of all types.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m an Eagle Scout, a son, a brother, a husband, and a father. I have 5 of my own children. We like to grow our own food to the extent that we can and we strive to live the principles of self-reliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m also the owner of <a href=\"https:\/\/incomeschool.com\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/incomeschool.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Income School LLC<\/a>, where I teach people how to use online content to grow their
