Country Folk Can Survive!
I am SO not afraid of what lies ahead. I could live on Beans & Rice if I had to. Seriously. Not as stocked up on them as I should be, but I have a lot of Frank’s Red Hot on hand. ;)
What is your solution to stashing milk, eggs and cheese, though?
I didn’t worry about it during the Sham-Demic, because my Kwik Trip never ran out of those basics, and they are my Touchstone for this kind of stuff. If the Kwik Trip doesn’t have it, you don’t need it! ;)
The local Walmart DID run out of eggs for a while, there. People were stocking up like crazy.
I need laying hens. Why don’t I HAVE laying hens? Beau stole my ‘space’ for a coop and turned it into more dog kennels. I’m pretty sure laying hens will be MORE USEFUL than dogs when TSHTF!
I give full credit; the dogs DO hunt Black Bear and it only takes ONE bear to see us through on meat for a year or more.
Beans and Rice and Bear. ;)
Humm. You can control what chickens eat, sort of.... You have no idea what rotting nastyness has gone into the bear! Bears...trichinosis. You would be safer eating the dogs. (Works only if you haven’t named them!) Try that on him to get your coop place back!
I have to laugh at your post. I would swear that you some way are related to me.
I have a coop but no laying hens. The Bob cat and its litter took them this summer. My beloved plot hound left for college and the cats saw an opportunity. I will get more in the spring. My plot loved the chickens. Protected them.
The bears are stocking up around here at this time. They hit my neighbors garbage yesterday.
I do have pleany of things to eat though.
