    Best All Around Dog for TEOFTWAWKI

    WOW! Such great topics here. Just to clarify-Tortise- I wasn't really looking for an attack type dog at all. More of a bark and growl type of thing. I agree that you have to look at the individual dog, but having a breed(s) or mix in mind helps to narrow the field, which is why I asked...

    Salt: A World History

    It is Alas Babylon. I did a book report on it my sophomore year of high school. I found that book totally fascinating. Now I would LOVE to have an isolated island to retreat too.

    Best All Around Dog for TEOFTWAWKI

    All great points. I have owned many dogs over the years, mostly hounds, dalmations, chows (mixed) and german shepherds (mixed). I think that I am a decent dog owner (compared to the average Joe, probably better). We do our own obedience training and LOTS of socialization with our babies. I...

    Homemade Rennet

    Thanks Rebecca100! I guess that I could have done that too! I have zero familiarity with stinging nettles. Are they invasive? Poisious to any animals?

    Best All Around Dog for TEOFTWAWKI

    Oh that is the sweetest story. I love to help out anyone/anything that is the "underdog" and those poor pit bulls sure get it. A couple of years ago, someone threw their pit bull puppy off the 2nd street bridge in Louisville KY. A waitress working at one of the resturants on the river...

    Oh, I really like pitbulls. I think that they get a bad rap. You see so many great ones in the shelters because everyone is scared of them. Good suggestion. BTW- I am glad you are online tonight. :)

    Best All Around Dog for TEOFTWAWKI

    We just lost a member of our pack-an ancient bassett hound. I would like to get another dog that may be more, shall we say, useful? I would like a dog that can carry a good size pack, haul a small cart, guard property and my kids, if need be. Reasonably healthy (ie not prone to bloat, hip...

    Do You Like Where Your At...?

    I will put a plug in for my home state of IN. :lol: The southern part of the state are really beautiful-rolling farm land, rivers and forests. The central and northern parts have some nice spots, but a little flat for my taste. The only natural disasters we typically have are small tornados...

    Emergency Diversification

    I have a BOB that I keep in each car. My family of four, including our 3 dogs can live out of it for 3 days. It wont be pleasant, but doable. The supplies are in rolling duffle bags so we can take them with us. At home, I have about a 8 month supply of food, water, and supplies (fuel...
