...you mean ULTRA MAGA KING don’t you?

LOL - yes, 'ULTRA MAGA KING is better!

Trump is the King of people who want to see American Great Again...

(LBJ)Johnson was the KING of people who wanted a Great Society.

Biden is the King of people who are gullible fools and creepy totalitarians.

There is a Comment that if you change you Amazon to Canada, there is no shortage of formula. Enfomil is available to ship.

I have not tested this.

We’ve kept a ‘BaseMart” for years. quite a few comercial shelves full of food.
Rotate the stock, keep supply coming in and keep your powder dry.

Whew. That’s good. Reading through this thread I was starting to get worried.

Back to watching the game...

You know what bothers me that I have not figured out how to resolve?

The very real possibility of getting dry-gulched on my way out to the shed.

It’s a security problem for sure. Dogs don’t really solve it in the long run, hell one bad hot dog the night before takes them out of the fight.

I have been thinking about a drone solution. And if one doesn’t exist... maybe designing a solution. Then you just don’t go to the shed when the weather is bad.

Anyway, just thinking out loud...

Ambushed.

For about $600 these days you can get set up with a rig that can really reach out.

Lot of wide open space and tall grass where I’m at. Not sure how to counter it. Especially at first, before community really starts to gel.

Certain birds make good watch animals. Certain geese, guinea hens comes to mind.

I’d stay away from cassowary’s though, they can kill their owners.

I had never thought of regular birds... I’ll think on this.

But regarding the Cassowary, I have put extensive research into how to implement this particular bird into my defense strategy. I planned to have deep pits with 3 to 6 Cassowarys per pit all covered with palm fronds situated in line with likely ingress and egres...

just kidding, I had to Google Cassowary

Apparently guinea hens squawk at almost everything.

I recently listened to a recording of them. They are very noisy birds overall.

Not for you if you value peace and quiet.

I’m going to try other means to deal with ticks before I resort to guinea hens..

I couldn’t take the noise... so back to the drone solution...

Hmmm... drones with onboard guinea hens... interesting.

We have a driveway alarm. It came with the house. It’s a long driveway and curves some so we can’t see the road, but when something passes the sensor, the alarm beeps.

Gotta be something like that.

There is other stuff that can be done too (cool stuff).

When I get fired for not taking a vax there will be lots of free time...
