Thank you for your kind words. All of what I have done has taken YEARS to get where I am. I know I still don’t have all bases covered but at the rate things are happening in this country as well as all the CRAZY things happening, I don’t think anyone can be prepared for everything. I just keep doing what I can to stay on top of things.

Was thinking today that I need to get some replacement stove pipe & rope (for the door) for my wood-burning heater/stove. The pipe going thru the wall and the chimney pipe are triple wall pipe but the pipe I have going from the stove to the pipe in the wall is single wall so isn’t going to last forever.

I hear you about downsizing livestock. I did that as well this past spring and got all new stock (rabbits & chickens) so that helped me as far as feed & hay (for rabbits). I stocked up on hay for my rabbits this past spring when a man was selling off his deceased fathers farm & supplies. He had a barn full of hay that I got for $1 a big rectangle bale. Bought them all as my rabbits just need this kind of hay to burrow into when it gets cold. I have Timothy hay that they eat stockpiled plus have 0ver 100lbs of Timothy grass seed to plant when their supply runs out or becomes unaffordable…like everything else is getting to be.

All we can do is pray that things don’t get as bad as we are hearing. Blessings to you & yours to stay safe and well thru whatever comes your way.
