I have read that flour quickly loses its nutrition value, so you should stock up on and store wheat instead of flour, then grind it into flour yourself when you're ready to use it. How long exactly does flour hold its nutrition value? Does pasta lose its nutrition value as well?

And you wouldn't have to worry as much about flooding...

I would just fence the garden, but I have a bunch of birds and it would be FAR easier to fence the garden than try to move around a chicken fence every day LOL Have you looked at the mobile henhouses with pen? There are several different styles, and look pretty easy to move.

And that's a real bummer when you're feeding 20 of them... gotta feed them quality feed, knowing they'll just poop it all out... but if they DONT poop you're in trouble too... lol Only get horses if you're nuts hahaha (which I AM- but most of mine are for business)

Thanks!

I used to do this, but then my mind learned to continue galloping WHILE I do the tables... WHAT?!?!?!? Not cool LOL

I live in the Rocky Mountains and LOVE it- deer and elk walk through my yard every day, and wild turkeys walk around on my porch LOL. However, if you want TRUE wilderness, go to Alaska! It is amazing! It just blows me away at the vastness and WILDNESS, literally!

SO true... but I will still never move away from my country, I love it with all of my heart and soul and will do anything I can to preserve the Constitution until I die- just as all of my forefathers have since funding and fighting in the Revolution. For now, we'll just get ready to hunker down...

I like your carboard spindles, neat idea! :) My hubby is making spindles for me and my 2 sisters, I'll post pics when he's finished- the round piece (can't think of what it's called) is made of cedar that he and his dad harvested and made into planks, it is really pretty :)

What can I do with the metal cans that store-bought canned foods come in? I have several in use as cat, dog, and chicken feed scoops, but can't think of any other uses... I HATE to throw things away, especially when I just KNOW there is something I can use them for- any ideas?

I didnt read your post before writing mine. Valerian doesn't make me fall asleep, either, but helps me to stay asleep, and also relaxes sore muscles. For the past few months I've been taking melatonin every night to prevent cluster headaches, and it works WONDERFULLY for that, but it makes me...

Try valerian, either in capsule or tea form.

Can apple sauce and apple butter! Can or freeze apple pie filling, and you can use the filling on top of ice cream or for cobbler or mash it up to spread on biscuits or pancakes.

To use yucca for soap you use the root, which kills it. You mash the root and dry it, then use it like powder soap.

Yes, and Texas is very similar. However, the nice thing is you get to choose where you live :)

Anyone looking for some roosters? I always have plenty for sale or trade. I also offer Easter Egger eggs that can be mailed, and Easter Egger chicks, pickup only no mailing.

I got a Brinsea incubator :D I got to open it early to hatch Christmas chickies, too :D

They are the ones who told me it's illegal :(

Just a little trivia- what we call Elk in the USA is a different species what Europeans call Elk- it is more similar to Red Deer, and Red Deer and Elk can crossbreed (which is why it is illegal to farm Red Deer here). What Europeans call Elk, we American's call Moose. :)

It depends. We butcher our own, so the expenses are= gasoline, wear & tear on truck & tires, insurance on truck, a small fee for the tag & license, butcher paper, and freezer tape. Oh, and electricity for the meat grinder. Take into account that we'd already be paying at least as much if not FAR...
