I think most of us here know what we will need to be doing to take care of ourselves and our families. Like newhouse I live in the old family home. I'm not on an acre but we have enough space for a nice garden and we have lots of fruit trees. We have not got laying hens yet because nobody wants to deal with the poop but that may come soon. Many of our friends and neighbors have hens. We are also able to live without many frills. No fancy pants types in our brood so we will acclimate to tough times with relative ease. I am a dust bowl descendant. I know the drill.
yep. Small town, surrounded by woods, lake two blocks away, river up the road, room for a garden (although a green thumb I am not, but will do in a pinch). But it wouldn’t hurt to have can goods stored away. Life is interesting isn’t it.
