Got another 15 to 20 pigs still roaming around

If the SHTF don't plan on those pigs or any other game being alive but a few weeks. Squirrels, rodents, domestic animal, birds, and snakes will be the next thing on the menu. A good 22LR and years worth of ammo is a good investment now. Also learn what the the Indians ate and used for medicine in the area you lived. Skunk Cabbage, Cattails, etc.

All the game will be gone real quick.
Your meat will come from what you can raise yourself or trade for.

Good advice.

I learned about aspirin from one of the Doomsday Preppers episodes.

Aspirin

"The father of modern medicine was Hippocrates, who lived sometime between 460 B.C and 377 B.C. Hippocrates was left historical records of pain relief treatments, including the use of powder made from the bark and leaves of the willow tree to help heal headaches, pains and fevers."

I have a willow tree.

I have an old Marlin 22lr and two 22lr pistols, but befor I use them I can kill small game with my Pellet rifles. Pellets are cheap and don’t make much noise. Cats taste like rabbits and dogs taste like beef. Yum Yum.

See #167

My closest neighbor lives about a mile away as the crow flies.

There’s less than 25 people in a 2 mile circle around me. Maybe 100 in a 5 mile circle.

Be a long time before anyone gets down to where I am.
