PING!
Everybody should be buying a few dairy cows from local family farmers (cheapest way to buy meat)to debone & can. You'll get 175-200 quarts of meat out of every cow plus have more as ground meat.
Paper products are going sky high down the road; stock up. For the last year or so, I have every month been buying one item, 300-500-700 cans when on sale and mailing into where we live. The postal shipping ends up being the normal price kinda thing. MOst everything is dated 2015 that we get.
Soon as garden drys out, snow has just melted, I'm planting tatoes, have 400 seed tatoes to plant. All with a troy built. Man can do pretty well with thousand lb tatoes in basement and give a few thousand lb to friends who really really appreciate them.
WE have 1000 gal in ground tank, which is full. yet we heat with wood that is free for the work of cutting & hauling.
So much all of us can do to survive what is heading our way; and then once it has passed rebuild our country for our kids.
Interesting discussion.
