Cardinal loves vegetable gardening—the sensory experience of it, the way it naturally helps others. “It’s somebody else’s job to have guns,” they said. “I’m really good at growing food.” They also like working with fiber and textiles, another hobby that’s both enjoyable and could come in handy if disaster strikes. “That’s my goal as far as preparedness goes,” they said. “How can I use this thing that I do for fun, that I do for myself, in a way that makes our community more resilient?”
