FEMA orders $1 Billion in dehydrated food.

Just ran across this and it does not sound good!

I need more time with my limited funding.

Went to Mountain House and what do you think was on the HOME PAGE! Could be a sales scam or pressure from their largest customer. You decide.

The Ready Store is one of their distributors and still has some available (Link in right sidebar).

A curious conversation!

So after I left the gun show yesterday (yes I got my sling, 2 five round magazines, 2 thirty round magazines, a couple of mag couplers and a handy tool for the Delta Ring on the AR) I was at the grocery getting soda and some stuff for dinner when my brother in law called me.

The reason he did not go to the show with me yesterday was he was already signed up for a CCDW class. He called and told me of his experience for the first day and I was surprised. He said that over half of the conceal carry class were 60-70 year old singles and couples. He said most of the class had never fired and weapon and did not own one. He also stated that the class was extended by about an hour because it went off topic on political discussions. Most of the class were taking it for self/home defense.

 I am puzzled;

  • why so many seniors?
  • why are so many that have never fired a weapon applying for CCDW instead of firearms training?
  • why a CCDW for home protection as it is legal to own firearm here without it?
  • why all the political discussion?
I will have to talk to him again after the class today.

And this one is about energy!

From Energy Bulletin:


"As has been frequently noted by the media in recent days, the level of political discourse in America has been dropping markedly in recent years and while no one of any stature seems to be openly advocating violence, some are getting mighty close. Another few years of economic stagnation and increasing unemployment could easily bring us to the point where the line will be crossed."

Helpful Tips - Cast Iron

There are many youtube videos in the Homestead Series on a variety of topics that are as good as gold to the people who want to become more self sufficient.


 I have found them very useful and go back to them when starting a new or rarely done project. They also have a website that may be easier for you to find what you are looking for http://www.homestead-acres.com/

And this arrived after I got home from the gun range.

I'm thinking some homemade pumpernickel tomorrow.

Today I went to Knob Creek Range!

Here I am firing the new AR-15 I got a few weeks ago.
I LOVE this new rifle!
This is my brother in law firing his Glock.
My AR is in the foreground and his AK on the next table.

Last weeks project - a new shed!

Painting the siding was a *****!
Still have to paint the trim.

I'm thinking a chicken coop on the left and maybe a rabbit hutch on the right.

These arrived today from Amazon

 
 I have never used one before so an aunt of mine is going to help teach us how to use it. I ordered some other stuff and will post as it arrives.


 I plan on tilling up half of the back yard when the weather breaks for a garden this year and will use these to can vegetables.

Treason: Obama Shuts Down Power Plants Coast to Coast



 A very interesting video! If true we will be forced to return to the old ways of living without. The sad part is that our educational system and society do not prepare anyone for this type of living. How many kids can sew, work on an engine, grow or can food, roast a chicken, build something with hand tools etc...

What woke them up to this novel idea?

Gerald Loughner bought the gun he used from a legitimate arms dealer and passed the background check. Drug users usually obtain stolen or traded arms so what will this accomplish other than to have every gun of legal citizens counted by the government?
