Heh, great stuff. To be honest, though, most of the time it’s “Oh crud, I need to get this done!” ,Then it;s a mad scramble to marry up resources, with skills and time. 🙂

I think Mondays will become “Black Pill Mondays” for me on Spags’ meme thread. It’s a day I just get to dump little bits of uncomfortable reality on everyone and give y’all something to ponder at the beginning of the week. The rest of the week will be more humorous, uplifting and filled with solutions., I promise.

Here is a side hustle for some enterprising Freesteader that has an eye for fitness. I’ve joked about it for years; this weekend we were discussing it while at Tag and Bee’s homestead work day and I think it’s a winner. Here goes…if you don’t mind people on your property and live near an area where people have more money than sense, hold a week long homesteader/prepper boot camp. Have people come out and subject them to a week “Farm Fit” program designed to get them fit and show them what running a farm/bug out location is like. For 8 hours a day, they can do exercises like the “goats destroyed the fence circuit course”, “Bucking hay”, “the stubborn cow push” and Tag’s favorite of the moment “cutting, splitting” and stacking 13 1/2 cords of wood”. People that groove on the program can then pay you monthly to come out to your place 3 days a week to get an awesome workout.
I know it sounds like a joke, I seriously think that in the right location and with the right marketing, it would work. Crimeny, people pay for “Goat Yoga” and fake “Navy Seal cross fit” programs, why wouldn’t they pay for this?

Woman rule anyway,
That’s what “She Who Must Be Obeyed” says, at least.

Here is a place to start. It encompasses the spiritual and physical aspects of the reason to prepare:
“But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.” 1 Timothy 5:8
