Follow up on the paw paw situation. After 2 weeks, the paw paw cutting actually had roots forming. They did so well, we were able to sell some of them at the Midwest Preparedness Festival. We are going to get some more in the next day or two, along with some other trees. They should be the last ones we are able to get this year, and will give us a good batch before winter sets in.

Remember folks, what’s good for the goose is good for the gander. Freesteaders are already inside the wire doing revolutionary things like planting gardens, bartering and building communities.

Throwback Thursday. This was the topic of discussion just a year ago…

Update, they look a mess at this time. All the leaves are falling off and they look like sticks stuck in buckets of dirt. That is to be expected, though.

Actually, it’s perfect. the holes are small enough the rabbits can walk on it, without hurting their feet, and their refuse will fall, through. Just scrape the bottom of the cage from time to time and you are golden. Brace the bottom well, so it doesn’t sag. Here’s a pic of ones I built years ago, when we were living in suburbia. They are made from recycled pallets and an asphalt roofing sheet. I used a scraper to rake the rabbit poop off the roof of the bottom cage of the double decker. I used them for about 8 years, before I sold them.

Good people will not do evil things,…
There’s the hitch in the giddy-up. The world is full of “good people” that do all sorts of bad things. There is a saying in regards to security that goes, “Locks aren’t made to keep bad people out. They are made to keep good people honest.” I am not negating what you’ve said, just making the point that we won’t know who the “good people” are until we are in the thick of it. That’s why building your community now is so important; vet people now, instead of when your life may depend on it.

So just get down there on the bad guys level and see what they’ll see. Then fix any possible issues you find.
Sage security advice JDm!

At the very least, plant poison ivy/oak/sumac in locations that bad guys might hide. Not sure if it would stop an attacker; it would be vindictive as heck, though.

Excellent!

I agree with Lesa. Great event this fall.

If you haven’t seen this one already, check out Camp Valor Outdoors:

I’ve bumped in to the founder at various events in MO, and spoke to him at VFW fundraisers for Camp Valor Outdoors. he’s legit, IMO.

I take it you did grow vanilla orchids, despite NOT living in the tropics? That, my friend, is a story you have to tell.
