This is an ONGOING thread, meaning drop in when you want and chat. There is no one topic or story, but ongoing sharing with prepper friends. I figured I’d see how granny’s thread scenario worked out, if anyone was interested in an ongoing thread vs. a weekly one – it’s up to the group to keep it going, since I run out of things to say (eventually)!
Sometime in the next few years, there will be a new type of bean making its way into the market. It looks like a slightly smaller kidney bean, but it tastes exactly like beef!
Something to add a little variety into those storage meals :)
George Washington'Diaries at Mount Vernon
Univ. Of Virginia has downloadable pdfs available IIRC.
I mention this because of your post regarding back ups. Well, there may come a time when the electronic data becomes unreadable, damaged or because the lack of computers.
A hand written diary for a growing season, including daily weather, Accu-weather not so accurate and may not be around; soil conditions and prep; planting what, where, when, and how. Crop yields and quantities preserved. Important records of data specific to ones location and circumstances, useful to your progeny as well. A well bound journal/diary still allows for old fashion paste in of computer generated text, calcs, spread sheets etc.
As I've gotten older I've tossed many generations of computers with out of date software, so it seems prudent to go cursive! There's also a quiet reflection on the days events and satisfaction in the work performed. In an outright TEOTWAWKI, it may be a small but important kernal of culture that can be replanted should events dictate. Keep them next to the family Bible.
