Search String Result from 'Emergency Supply List Bosnian War Survivor'

Sharyl Attkisson's Full Measure News has a feature about how vulnerable the electrical grid is to disruption. It didn't take an EMP over Kansas to convince me, my family was left huddling in sleeping bags during the day time for 4 days by a tree branch shorting out a transformer at the end of my block.

In 2013 some people didn't see the Bosnian War Survivor's list of 101 things you need to survive. #1 on my list is 'anything pertaining to 'How to eat' without electricity--a generator is a white elephant. Somewhere in the top 5 is going to be 'at least $500 in silver coins', $25 coins are too big, I'd get some small coins like dimes. Surely in my top 10 is going to be guns & ammo. The police don't come even now when there's shooting, are you going to be worried about you carry permit when there is no cellular service even to call them? (Gotta go…)

Hide stuff in your car. Especially water.

Sounds like good progress back to the farm. We have to plant winter wheat here after the first frost. Usually around Oct. 15. However, we have not had one yet this year, hence the cover crop will be rye and/or hairy vetch.

We have not had a frost yet either. But it will come soon. We go 1-1/2” of rain. It fell slow and as soon as it’s dry enough we will plant our wheat.

Still have 2 fields to plow before planting.

We have had quit a bit of rain. Think about 2-1/2 or 3 “. Nice slow rain, may not have messed up the patches I made on some eroded terraces.

It will take at least a week may be 2 before we can plant if the sun shines and the breeze blows.

I was just thinking about this guy the other day. Nice to find the thread and give it a bump. Also was hoping for some advice. We just took down our large VHF/UHF/FM rooftop antenna. People keep telling me there is a market for these. Any advice on how or where to sell it?
