Diary

We've weathered he winter snow, now we have to deal with high ammo prices. It may be time to roll our own.

I realized today that it has been three days since I had actually gone outside and seen the sun, due in part to some bad weather, so I forced my wife to take me for a walk. The weather was crisp and clear, good walking weather. I’ve now had my exercise and a dose of vitamin D.

Our move is over but the unpacking will take days. We are exhausted, but the poor truck diver had a really bad trip.

Regardless of what the governor or the mayor says the rules are, things are bustling in our home town as business reopen and people hit the streets.

Autumn is bringing us rain, but also apples, hunting, and before long, fires in the wood stove to keep us warm.

This morning, the New York Times chart showed 4,482 known coronavirus infections in the U.S., a jump of 880, bring us back down to a 24 percent increase. Deaths jumped from 66 to 86, an increase of 30 percent.

Food poisoning is no fun. I guess you could consider it training for a post-SHTF scenario, but its not something I want to do voluntarily!

It's a good idea to uses your tools and preps in the real world before you need them. You might have picked the wrong tool for the job.

There's more to being a prepper than storing food; to be truly self-sufficient, you have to be able to fix things yourself.

You could consider bees preppers. They stock up nectar (carbs) and pollen (protein) to help carry them through the long. cold winter.
