I traded a full cord of hickory this AM for eggs for a year ! I eat eggs for breakfast only , maybe two dozen a week at best yet it only took me an hour to cut and split a full cord. And the wood was free where I got it. And the person I bartered with is a good friend . I have thus far added a cow elk, a mule deer and two white tails to the freezer this fall. Root cellar is full, canned goods stocked and no more empty ball mason jars. A canning is DONE !

Harvest is on the shelf and in the freezers.

But have you brewed enough BEER?

That's my new survival skill for this year.

damn! I wish I could barter like you do but I don’t have any barterable talents. I do love to budget, pay bills, balance chceckbooks and stuff like that and am quick,,maybe I could barter for some eggs!!

I think the underground economy is gonna grow like crazy.

People are more scared than I have seen in my 66 years!

Me and #2 son just got in from splitting and hauling a load from the corner of the property here at the house. A log pile that's all spread out seems to "grow" as you cut and split it! It's like a tough peice of meat! The more you chew, the bigger it gets! Anyway...it looks like RAIN so we called it quits and came inside!

But we've got several cords of mixed hardwoods racked and stacked. :-) ...plus more food than I can mention. The deer ate our corn this year, but that's O.K. because I'm gonna eat the deer. :-) We did harvest a TON of lima beans from the garden...so we've got a HUGE quantity of them. I don't "generally" like them. But this year, I EAT LIMA BEANS! ...and I'm glad to have them too! They're not all that bad really. :-)

It sounds like you made a good trade for the eggs! We love fresh eggs! You can't compare them to store bought eggs! I have an egg sandwich from ours EVERY day. :-)

You worked hard for that harvest!
