    How many people here are prepared for an emergency?

    An emergency can consist of many different things. How ready are you for what may come your way? Any thoughts, any discussions about this?

    Just picked up a quart of local, raw honey

    Can't wait to try it. Hoping it will help with the allergies that seem to be showing up as I get older. Going to get the G/F to try it as a cough syrup. It sure is a nice amber color. Think I hear it calling my name.

    What do you do to cut costs, when you have done all you can?

    Looking for some ideas. The only things I can think of are to raise my own meat, and get a garden in, both of wich are hard to do when I am away from so much.

    I mainly heat with a pellet stove, on a battery back up, for when the power goes out. If I had to, I could go back to the old wood stove, but the pellets work really for me.

    Just found this great site

    I hope to learn, and share what I have learned. Looks like there is a fair amount of traffic here, so hopefully we can all help each other survive in this crazy world.
