Starting next week the University of Utah will be offering summer classes on urban homesteading. With classes on wild mushroom foraging, fly fishing, bee keeping, and chicken raising, you can get mountain-man self reliant in no time.--- Classes are fun and affordable and can save you in the long run if you apply the lessons like growing your own vegetables and preserving them, foraging for herbal medicines or any of the other  frugal skills of the modern urban homesteader.
