start trimming the fat, swapping out (and figure the weights).

Cut out the bull, cut out the cow, the sheep; substitute goats with hair long enough to be worth cutting. You didn't forget shears did ya?

Keep the blacksmiths shop, but trim it down to anvil & a minimum of tools - bellows that must be made.

Mad Max.

Scratch anything made of wood. However, a small supply of wrought-iron stock is essential.

The Harvestor becomes a scythe with a wooden handle and cradle, thee spare blades (scratch the field rake)

Keep the windmill (and sawmill). Just try to keep the hardware to a minimum.

Books? Which ones can you live without? If you don't read, that shouldn't be a big issue; you won't have time to read.

Forget half the clothes you intended, double up on the amount of shoes, add the boots you need. Did you forget about childrens shoes? Are you going to rely on mocassins, mukluks, and such?

Add waxed thread.

Oh, did you forget block & tackle? What about glass & plastic lines? Rembember by this time that money means nothing: BUT CUBAGE DOES.

D'oh: bring an axe and a hatchet!

Scrap the axe. Bring a maul & various wedges. AND axe.

Yarn? Did anybody bring yarn? O.k. hold the fort: nothings falling apart just because somebody forgot to bring yarn?

Hey! What up? With that? Lets go! Lets go! Lets go!
