    What Shortages are You Seeing?

    Here in coastal Georgia, I haven't noticed any shortages at any of the area stores I go to (walmart, krogers, publix, food lion, piggly wiggly, ingles); all food isles are fully stocked. From watching certain youtube prepping channels, you'd think we'd be fighting over the last loaf of bread by now.

    Suggestions to keep newly-disked firebreak clear

    I have thought a little about an old used but excellent condition mower. Some youtube videos show old Ford tracors pulling bush hogs. Is this what you had in mind? I do plan on getting a shipping container so could store it to protect it.

    Suggestions to keep newly-disked firebreak clear

    Georgia Division of Forestry Firebreak, made by heavy equipment dozer, is single lane wide enough for any truck to drive but I haven't measured it.

    Suggestions to keep newly-disked firebreak clear

    I hired the GDF crew to put about a half-mile of firebreak in on my property. They cleared it good and now it down to a dirt surface. I am hoping to learn the least expensive and most practical way to maintain it (other than hiring them out every year to re-disk). One option is to buy a used...

    I've thought about a shipping container as 20' ones are sold from nearby Macon so I don't think delivery would be much. A concern is possible issue with condensation and humidity causing damage to stored equipment or goods.

    The well is not older than 23 yrs old. I'm hoping it is still good.

    Appreciate your comments There is already a driveway from the mobile home residence on the property. I sold the mobile home to some local small investor who buys used mobile homes. It will be removed off the property. I don't see myself getting into any debt over the property. My thoughts were...

    There is an old well and septic system (for the long abandoned mobile home); A local contractor I had stop by looked at it and said the tank is missing; I going to have him come by and hook up a generator to see if the pump is functional. I know I will want water there. I have spoken with the...

    It's good really pretty woods and very quiet yet less than 1/2 mile to a 4 lane highway that leads to Macon, Ga. Only takes 20 minutes to get into downtown Macon. I agree with camping to start with but also pondering either a garage or small shed might be a useful inexpensive addition that might...

    Not sure; when I'm there I enjoy it but I also really enjoy the coastal area (woods, fresh and salt water fishing) and good commuity where I live now so am uncertain if I will ever move there full-time. I can retire in less than 2 years so have a lot more time to spend there.

    Hello from Georgia

    I can retire soon so will have lots of time to spend on my property. As of now, don't plan to fatten them up but will enjoy them being around and will probably harvest a deer and turkey a year. North Georgia has always been my favorite part of the state but love the rolling mountains of middle...

    After many years of looking, I've acquired wood acreage in rural Georgia. On the 45+ acres, there is a 5 acre area where I want to start out with a simple campsite while deciding the type of simple structure and specific spot to place it . The 5 acres has a driveway to an unlivable mobile home...

    Hello from Georgia

    I live in coastal georgia, outside of Savannah and recently purchased small wooded acreage in middle Georgia. My hope is to learn to manage it for wildlife, nature and figure out what steps to put a simple shelter structure.
