I may run out of horse shoes and mule shoes. It depends on how much I have to use them.

I could do with another dozen cans of coffee.

I don’t really consider us preppers we just live way out in the middle of nowhere and it is a long ways to town and back. In the winter is snows and I have to plow a dozen miles to get a vehicle out.

So. Our pantry is 16X14 we have 4 freezers, make our own power have a private water source and an additional 50 head of livestock still eating on the pastures.

If you don’t mind saying, I would love to know where you are. I’m having a hard time finding a place to buy lots of acreage in order to have the house be quiet and neighbors far away.

Well whatever you call yourself, sounds like you have a lot of expertise to share. I’ve been thinking we should get some mules, because the fuel for automobiles will only last so long. And I think mules are a lot less susceptible to issues than horses, aren’t they?

Are you willing to adopt an older adult? LOL!

Your set-up sounds much like ours. Freepmail me about your power source if you don’t want to share it here. That’s our next step. We’ve got two pregnant beef cows coming this spring to get things rolling. Thanks! :)

How do you make your own power? Solar? Thanks.
