The ones who are the most aggravating are those who say they'd just as soon just die right there rather than put back a few cans of beans. Ohhh, what would I have to live for? Ohhh, I would never touch a gun!

“’If preparedness were really important it would be taught in school.’
Why isn't it?”
Maybe because it isn't multicultural, homosexual nor anti-theistic enough. Neither is it pro-union, environmentalist pablum or dismissive of the Constitution and our founding principles. It has nothing to do with feminism or diversity or “fairness”. Besides, we don't want to scare the youts and diminish their self actualization.

Doomsday preppers was on rerun last weekend, and I caught that episode with Kalene, that women in Utah that covers her egss in mineral oil so that that last 9 months, and dipps her cheese in wax, to preseve them. I tooled around her site Preparedness Pro, and she recommends that you don't take out the oxygen in your wheat, ( and I forgot if she mentioned rice, oatmeal, etc.) because they need to be alive when you sprout them. In James Rawles book Patriots, that's how they start their day at their bugout—with a nice bowl of sprouted wheat. Have yet to put the hand warmers in my food buckets, or make the breakfast of preppers, sprouted wheat.

Tell us more!
What kind of wax does she use to coat what kind of cheese and where does she store it afterwards?
Thanks!

“The ones who are the most aggravating are those who say they'd just as soon just die right there rather than put back a few cans of beans. Ohhh, what would I have to live for? Ohhh, I would never touch a gun!”
That's close to a fatalist who believes everything that happens is preordained to happen and one can't change it.
There are going to be a lot of dead people in both categories (and I don't care ‘cause I can't change them beforehand and don't have enough to feed them afterward).
I will feed my extra liberal sister-in-law and her husband because they helped me so much when my husband was very ill. I love them but they are to the left of Stalin and admit it. They know I am a prepper and think I'm nuts. They live on the coast and have NO preps of any kind.

I was watching the show and reading my iphone at the same time, but I think I remember she used a special cheese wax and dipped it or brushed it with a natural boar’s bristle brush. She gave a recommendation of the product on her site, and it was from a specialty cheese store. Then she recommended hanging it in a cool space, like a basement, where she has them in nets hanging from the rafters. I think they need air circulation. They do get more ripe, but they don’t spoil. I remember eating a guoda-type cheese in the Philippines, and we didn’t refrigerate the new product. Hard cheeses are the ones she puts-up-—literally. Isn’t that exciting? Helps round out your need for protein in your preps. I found her site kind of hard to navigate. There is a search box, but no where to find what was already posted.

The last time they were here a number of months ago, they told me they aren’t worried about the future until global warming stops food growing in their area of south Texas, then they will go to California where his brother is because that place will be fine. I said nothing, just nodded my head like they were right.
They are coming to visit either this coming Sunday or next Tuesday and be here several days. They sleep in a bed under which is mountains of Rainey Day food. They don’t know how lucky they are that I would save their liberal lives.

Wrong kind of battery powered radio - I prefer mine to tune from 144Mhz to 148Mhz ;-) It also helps if you have a decent antenna - a car mount works.

including Akiko Takakura at 300 mWowza. I'm thinking new pants might be in order after that ka-boom.
I didn't know anyone survived that close. Thanks for the data.

Booze - I’m getting a small still. About 10L worth should provide a couple of liters of white lightening. Sugar and yeast and some water on the fire. Been reading up on it and it’s not all that complicated really. JRTFM!!
