Wow! That's so awesome! We live in the outskirts of a lake town in between here and there, so when power goes out we are the last to get it back! So I want more info on what you've done! My husband is an electrician so dont be afraid of getting technical- im just giving this to him to read! Have...

Do you have a specific place to go for the laws? I live in Oklahoma, people have road signs in front of their house for eggs, and such. So I can't see us being overregulated like some of you. But I certainly dont want to get some outrageous fine or have my hardwork confiscated! Which they would...

Razor wire is a great idea! I dont want it up now, b/c the dear jump the fence, but its worth having a bunch of for when the time comes to put it up! But I would be furious if someone had wire cutters and cut it to get through! So we'll have to be pretty creative!just a heads up im in Oklahoma...

Oh forgot to say, it depends on what happens first- if gov. Falls, there will be riots and angry people acting crazy. If it is a disease pandemic, people won't be so outgoing at first, but scavengers will risk it so steal from wherever they can, especially in cities. Bigger the worse-b/c no...

You may be right, but it may be worse, you have to remember the human factor- we always mess things up. Some people will handle it fine but other lose their humanity for a little while. Thanks for the list- its very nice to have it layer out well! Don't forget, old books before 1923 are free on...

Hqueen- so I got lost last night for hours following your link and others! Wow! So much info! A site I ended up at that I really like for those home recipes is littlehouseinthesuburbs.com- I found an olive oil soap, my husband has sensitive skin- used to have exema, so we HAVE to use lever2000...

I totally understand! As hard as it is to watch them work and hurt so bad, men dont do well when they are told they can't, so they won't jump into that on purpose. But best advice is save save save! That way, God forbid!, that you are forced into that situation, you dont struggle as badly! And...

That's a great idea! Does anyone have any ideas for me? Single wide 2 bed trailer, no garage, attic, basement or cellar. I have 6 overhead cabinets 3 drawers and 1 big bottom cabinet. Barely enough room for my dishes. I do have a roll around cabinet/cart thing that my pans go in. Oh and under...

I saw a show on history channel a week or 2 ago, that really made me listen- they had leading experts in oil, water quality, financial,and some others super important fields. The point was to see what was our most pressing concern. Water quality in the whole country is below bad- bet you didn't...

I know exactly how you feel! Doug has a back injury from a car wreck 2 years ago- bottom 3 disks are very bad. They can't operate, they have pushed disability, and has managed to stay away from it. He takes 100$ a month worth of pain med which he cannot do ANYTHING without. But if you look over...

Hqueen- can you give us your recipes? I would love to try making my own detergents. I will say im a bit scared that it won't clean well enough, I have a bit of ocd and part of that is the germs, so please tell me how well it works and if there are things that it doesn't clean well. Also on the...

Thanks Marianne! I dont want to sound like a complainer, b/c we feel really blessed! This is the worst we've been finacially- and yes that call to grandma was humbling! But from that I confirmed that my families love isn't hindered by money- which so many people dont have! Would have never...

I thought I would share this if you ever decide to pluck your own chickens- it will ruin your feathers so get the good ones off first, i found it on backyard chickens- learning center scroll down towards the bottom. Pluck a chicken in 15 minutes! Almost boil water and put in a block of parrafin-...

I am trying to stck up enough coupons to be an extremer! I know how and with my single coupons I save at least half of my bill. And we dont eat hardly any junk in our house, however we dont buy special products for gluten free or special diet stuff. Its a great way to help out with stuff you do...

We just cleared a BUNCH of woods to put up fence. I have 3 gigantic piles to burn once we loose some of the wind and I was thinking of putting it in the compost, but is it a green or a brown? I have ostly wood shavings from chickens in my compost- which I just started, and yes I know its going...

agree with not destroying a stores stock, so that there is none left for people who need an item, I was talking to someone and there was an online coupon for some toy that was a $30ish item and locally some lady bought all they had for $5 each! And on the show I watched a lady buy 600-yes I said...

Thanks for the advice, we do have it in writing- all of it. We are in a bad financial situation, we moved in with father in law b/c he was fixing to loose the family farm(been in family sice before land run-oklahoma-100+years) so it was important to save it, also had tax liens, no electric, no...

Things will get better soon, thanks though! Yes we have 10 acres we are buying-which is one of those things-buy a house and it falls apart all of the sudden! - but yes my friend lives 3 miles away and we are going to 'crop share' and each grow different things to share, so we make the most of...

I can understand that, but for a person to spend $30 on $900+ on things they can't possibly use before it expires blows my mind! These people have basments -whole house basements- full of everything! And I think that if we weren't greedy, we would have less people hungry and struggling. I think...

I was just saying yesterday I want bees! So can I pick your brain? What, when , how? I know basically nothing about bee keeping so tell me everything! What do I need to start? What kind of bees are best? Startup costs(high estimate please) suits? What do you wear? Is a suit totally nessecary...
