Prepper Diary

We continue to take small steps on our prepping journey, buying a few things here and there.

The winter is almost over and we have not used our wood stove for a week, but that doesn't stop the firewood deliveries.

You can start your food storage program at the grocery store, at Sam's Club or Costco. Buying specialty long-term storage foods and freeze dried foods should come after you have the bsics down.

We can stop socialism in its tracks by not sharing our money, our ideas, and our labor with them. Make little or no money, and they can’t tax you. Don’t work for the man, and the system will collapse.

The coronavirus and the stay home stay safe movement is giving us the time we need to bake and make more meals from scratch. We're not rushing through meals, ready for the next project. It a small positive in the midst of the bad news.

We get some professional advice regarding our chicken coop design and garden layout.

I’ve got stacks of paperback books, a few hardbacks, a Kindle, streaming services and DirecTv, a computer, an Xbox, and a list of chores, but the best part of the day tends to be the phone calls. I spent about two hours on the phone today, all personal calls.

With a wood stove, its easy to male the room too hot, but that is probably better than being too cold. We struggle to find the sweet spot.

As fall comes to a close, its time to winterize the homestead and make sure the livestock is protected from snow, wind, and cold weather.

After two years of searching, we finally spend our first night in our new property. There's work to be done, like eradicating the mice that call it home.
