    Feeding Yourself and the Homestead when the SHTF

    Yeah gotta agree with you on that Emerald -GO LES! I saw his new show the other day. I'd be pretty SOL if I couldn't get out to my MIL's and even then things would not be good. I've only recently come to the realization of the non permanence of the "good" life. My grandparents lived the farm...

    Nose Bleeds - how to stop them

    Yarrow!! I have reeeeeally bad nose bleeds and I always used yarrow. I also moisturize about twice a week with some petroleum jelly on a q-tip just barely up my nose to prevent further leaks in the winter, which is the worst time for me. Also, I really didn't want another electric gadget at my...

    Where and how did you learn how to:

    Wildsky- I get what you mean about kids and people not smelling right when they're about to get sick. I could always tell when my daughter was about to get sick from her smell. My son hasn't been sick yet ( he'll be 2 in November) so I don't know about him.I can smell when there's something...

    How do you do it when you can't do it?!

    I have this problem too, but more simply because of lack of space in my small apartment. The bed set up works great. I also have quite a bit of space under my bathroom sinks, so instead of storing cleaning supplies I store water prof containers full of non food things like extra batteries and...

    Scientific analysis of systems

    Far more complex than I am able to understand. I will say this though; if you make something (i.e. a system or machine) incredibly complex, it will inevitably make your life incredibly complicated. That's why you gotta stick with K.I.S.S. (keep it simple stupid).

    What is a Zombie?

    My MIL already knows to expect us in a SHTF situation. They have a location and house (if not necessarily the way of life) conducive to making it long term. She knows I'm working on preps for my own home ,and I have been starting to store food and supplies at her house in anticipation of maybe...

    Real Life - When my preps have saved my butt... How about you folks?

    Yeah when Ike came through the city we lost power for 11 days but it was weird b/c the folks right across the street never lost it. We lost power but we use gas for cooking and heating water it was no big change. Really the only traumatic thing was that we had gone to the grocery earlier in the...

    What is a Zombie?

    I have a friend who lives in Flint. It was bad even back when things were still good for everyone else, I can't imagine how it could be now. He (my friend) tells me but I'm sure I have no concept of what it's really like. I worry for his safety and keep telling him to come back my way , but...
