Especially you young men. When was the last time you were physically uncomfortable? Challenged yourself? We have uncomfortable times ahead, but it's possible to condition your personal comfort level, to increase tolerances.

For example: I grew up without AC, and have never habitually used it as a part of my lifestyle. My comfortable temperature for sleeping is in the low 80's, before I need a fan on me. (My mother doesn't visit. lol)

Try hiking 20 miles, spending the night outdoors, then hike 20 miles home. Try going 2 days with no food. Try no electronic entertainment for 2 days. Try something.

You can plant garlic, kale, thyme, oregano, sage, radishes ( seed to harvest in 20 days), and some perennial plants do better when planted in the Fall.

September is a great time to dig, prepare the soil, fertilize. Pull weeds, add compost. Good soil takes a year to build at a minimum. I laugh at people who have a box of survival seeds and think they will get to eat the first year after using them. Because A not in winter. Because B takes 4 months of not winter. Because C, your soil is crap, your skills are nil, you don’t have a pest management plan, watering plan, soil amendment plan, fence plan, etc.

If you prepare now, come early spring your soil will be decent.
