I have come to love Texas. Two years ago we spent a month wandering around the state. We will return in may for another extended visit on our way west on the Butterfield Overland Mail Trail
I read extensively of the founding of the Texas Republic and visited sites in Laredo, San Antonio, Goliad and San Jacinto.
We get a lot of input here on our founding fathers and 1776 but today, an equal and perhaps even better model is the ad hoc and diverse consortium that wrested Texas away from Santa Anna.
I’m a yankee living in Texas now. Met my wife when we were both in the military. I followed her back to Texas 25 years ago.
We’re a little late on the prepping bandwagon. We’ve had a good stocked pantry for years but just now started expanding into a year or mores worth. Most of our prepping is canned goods(veggies, meat and fish), bagged rice, and beans. I ‘d love to be able to buy a years worth of MRE’s then just keep the pantry as usual. My organizational skills are minimal and hard to keep food from spoiling.
We have maybe a thrid acre garden and can some. Green beans, cukes and squash. New potatoes and tomatoes are the favorite but get eaten before the canning part. We live on 11 acres, have 5 cows, 15 chickens and a pet pig. 1 cow is going to the butcher next month, the chickens are for eggs, and the pig is for emergency use only.
I’ve started adding other supplies to the prep room so always looking for prepper lists and ideas. Thanks
