Great thread! When I lived in Hungary as a child there was no pet or livestock food.Everyone had chickens,dogs,cats,maybe a few pigs and goats. All were fed whatever they grew or scraps.No pre-made food products for them.

My moms toyota corolla ran far better than my nissan sentra ever did.Over the years it needed a lot less work.Right now I have a prius that dh bought without my input a year ago.All I can say is hey it's new. I keep telling dh I would love to get a vehicle that has no electronics and could run...

I think I use maybe 2 stamps a month,but a few pennies more on everythnig sure adds up. Visa and Mastercard use will result in possible surcharges to the consumer starting 1-27 too. It was just a matter of time before the swipe fee was passed on to us. I always make sure I check all the...

Welcome to the forum!

My area may not be high industry,but we are close to the highways,and the geo-engineering spraying daily does not help either.Eventually we will need a decent mask just to go out and garden!

I have no idea but guess you could go by the expiration date on the flour bags to give an idea. I thinking you could make flour from many items. I have had chickpea flour and oat flour,both very good. I love wheat berries.Good flour,Good sprouted and cooked whole. I hope the pasta holds it...

I have 5 and 3 I would want to take in if needed.Safe bet I suppose is to prep for 10.The thing is I am opposite of you and I will not help out anyone who has not prepped a bit. Unless we have a war situation or some MAJOR weather related mess I just don't see large populations starving in...

So sorry to read about the death of all of them.So sad.

I think your tummy will let you know,and I agree about polluted waters leading to mercury,arsenic,or whatever in the seaweed.Iodine might be an issue so look into that. I have not had miso in a while.Your post makes we want to order some. I used to get hatcho miso and sweet miso from Natural...

When my dog had issue with his butt gland I put Herbs for kids Super Kids Salve on it.Yeah,they(dogs and cats) just won't stop licking those areas.Ewww. Makes it hard to tend too.Honey sure is good for healing,but might make them lick more,lol. I think I might have also dabbed the area with a...

I got some dehydrated milk and water grains from the kefir lady Marilyn in Ohio.My water grains have grown,but the water is not carbonated at all.I have the jars set by a heating vent.The milk grains are slow to grow.

Not much better but I use a tidy cat litter pail.I like the ease of the flip top.Would baking soda at the bottom help with smell? Or maybe a spray with frebreeze?

I like the barley too. I have a pearl one,and one that is flat like milled oats. I like adding the flat barley to soups. As for other odd ball things I stock hmmmmm I have lotsof jams(apricot,currant,cherry,raspberry).Also I get a few honey combs when I have extra cash.Nuthazel spread for...

We are paying extra on the home and car.Going to pay the car off in 2 instead of 5 years,and the house in 7 instead of 15 if we focus. I buy only on sale and never out of season items. Downsizing on the pets and livestock. I plan to shop only at Aldi's for food starting in the new year.Will be...

My buda box is holding up well in the metal shed.Probably the 2 or 3rd winter now. I am getting 2-4 eggs a day.They won't use any other box I put in.Here it is in the woods under the tarp.I move my hens there in the summer due to the poop/fly issue...

I think the rabbit wringer videos might help. They made me think HEY THAT LOOKS PRETTY EASY. http://www.therabbitwringer.com/html/demo_videos.html

Was planing to go to the store,because the kids do not like the dry milk.Ah,but it is snowing.Sooooooo that means I saved probably $50 by staying home. I always buy more at the store than my planned purchase.Kids will just have to suck it up and drink the instant stuff. BarredBuff- do you skin...

What does this part mean? Economy and frugality must never, however, be allowed to degenerate into parsimony and meanness."

Aside from losing weight to get off BP meds I want to prep my house for sale,and see what offers we get.No one but me wants to move,but they will appreciate it when we do.As for SS goals... Less lawn more gardens.Get rid of the pests that eat my produce which means some serious dispatching...

Sounds interesting. Hope you can find someone who has the right kind of recipe.My first thought was what type of pine was abundant in her area.
