    After Nuked gardening

    For those residing outside the blast areas they may need to garden a little differently considering the Global Winter Predictions . I would think plants that would grow in cool and cloudy conditions would be the route to go . Would the clouds actually help certain plants to grow as in a green...

    Birding

    I am considering at some point selling a white pigeon occasionally for a funeral release . If the bird returns to my pigeon house I can sell the same bird over and over .;)

    Birding

    I have a pigeon loft . A bird house about 8 foot by 6 foot by 8 foot high . I have a small opening where they can leave this enclosure and fly about freely . We enjoy sitting on our back deck watching them put on aerial shows . I have no idea how for they travel . but each night they return ...

    Got beef?

    This past summer a local rancher gave us two grown bulls . One broke it's neck in an automatic head catcher and the other had a broken leg . We hung them from a oak limb and butchered them . Before the butchering was completed another rancher called and offered us a third animal that got...

    Have you done any grid crash practice/tests??

    Not an intentional test on our part but on several occasions and at different sites and in different states have found our selves in a grid down scenario ranging from a month to about 6 weeks . When the hum of electrical appliances cease , lights are gone and water from our private well ceases...

    Preparations Update

    I took my chain saw and dropped timber , cut up the trees suitable for firewood and drug off , piled up and burned the rest . I am expanding my garden and opening up a site on the edge of a mountain cliff to let in more sunlight . There I plan to box in rows of raised beds for more garden...

    The single "MOST" important Factor, in the "PENDING" SHTF Event, of which we are oblivious or in denial.

    Some try to stay optimistic and try to convince themselves things will return to normal after the next election . I am not one of that group . Why would a communist group that have gained power by a corrupt election , relent next time and have an honest election and almost certainly lose...

    What is "living"

    Something probably some of you can relate to . When in Nam , I truly was surprised to see each sun rise as I didn't expect to survive the night . Each day was lived expecting it to be my last . Have you ever wondered about the stories about someone diving onto a hand grenade to save someone...

    Absentee Homesteading?

    Not exactly your question but will throw out a different spin on your plans . If you stay in Chicago until your daughter graduates , you can expect her to find a husband and job in the Chicago area . If you want your daughter and grandkids to share your new property , get out now and break the...

    Prep Mind Challenge

    This is an easy one for me . Take that 10,000 and put it as a down payment on a piece of bare ,vacant , remote piece of property hopefully with a year around natural water supply . -- The reason this is easy for me , I have already done just that only I didn't have 10.000 dollars but did have...

    Americans Panic-Buy Firewood And Stoves Amid Energy Crisis

    To me being ahead of the crowd is part of my survival strategy . I prepaid for a tank of propane over 2 years ago and am still holding on to that . Only when propane prices get really outrageous will I call in for my propane that I bought at a much lower price .--- Expecting the heating...

    Americans Panic-Buy Firewood And Stoves Amid Energy Crisis

    I agree . One information source that I pulled up on the computer claims the injections cause some kind of brain alteration to a specific area of the brain . Whether this is true , I don't know but have noticed that even after just the first injection their thinking process seems to change...

    Warning from a PROFESSIONAL remote viewer.

    Storing gas is only good for short term . It will eventually run out or go bad . Preparing for survival without fossil fuel should be on survival minded peoples agenda . Manuel labor gardens , survival critters such as chickens , rabbits , milk goats and milk cows is something that is not...

    13 Cooking Hacks When You’re Missing Ingredients

    Actually I don't know if I harvest sassafras leave at the right time or not . I just wait until they are fairly mature and nice and green to harvest them . I can believe the full moon of August timeline in Louisiana . That may have originated with the voodoo stuff in that region . I am...

    13 Cooking Hacks When You’re Missing Ingredients

    I put up my own file for flavoring gumbo . I keep sassafras trees for this purpose . This past early summer I was picking and drying the leaves when a rain moved in , so that stopped the process for the day . I thought I probably had enough processed for the year but found out I didn't . So I...

    FACE IT!

    True story - I had the F.B.I. or some federal organization send a squad of about 6 agents to a place I was working just to take my picture . I suppose they were too afraid to simply knock on my door and ask for a photograph . They temporarily shut down and herded 300 employes into a building...

    What Shortages are You Seeing?

    If I remember the brand correctly , about a month ago a sign was posted at our liquer store stating " we will not be able to get anymore Keystone beer " . Personally I like Coors in a yellow can , because that is what a buddy of mine that I served with in Nam , went home for a death in his...

    10 things that happens when an economy collapses

    I am not that optimistic that things will recover . Venezuela is still waiting for their economy to recover after , how many decades ? Under the United States new Communist regime , I see no reason they would relinquish control of the government back to the people . We can hope we will regain...

    What Shortages are You Seeing?

    Just yesterday I had located a video based on the governments population reduction program . However even before I could get it on save so I could paste it , it was banned and it would only show a screen showing something to the effect " this video has been banned " . The doctor on the video...
