Roots and Resilience


Life runs smoother when you know how to look after yourself, your home, and your people. This channel follows the journey of building a resilient lifestyle from the ground up: growing food in all seasons, cooking real meals from scratch, harvesting rain, making firewood behave itself, and finding practical ways to stay ready for whatever nonsense the world decides to throw at us next.
From allotment beds in Devon to wood-burning stoves, water-butt systems, first-aid skills, kit reviews, and old-school preparedness with no drama attached – everything here is about living well, thinking ahead, and keeping your feet firmly on the ground.
If you enjoy practical skills, calm survivalism, and that warm glow you get from knowing your pantry, garden, and mind are in good order… you’re in the right place. Pull up a chair, grab a mug, and grow a little more resilient with me.
