They are doing it in North Fl skies today also.

Currently I can’t quite visualize the design, but I do understand the concept. I suspect it is similar to an upside down T? With the center part pointing up to fill through perhaps? I have seen chicken feeders similar.

Scripture tells us that there have been antichrists for a long time.

“Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. – 1 John 2:18”

And also the “spirit of antichrist” is at work:

“and every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. – 1 John 4:3”

Your question, however, is in reference to the main one of the end times. I have a few suspicions of individuals who would possibly be candidates for that. There are certainly plenty to choose from. I doubt that the obvious evil ones we know about are it, though. Most likely it is someone not yet fully revealed or obvious. Most likely this individual will take the world by surprise. There will even be a period of world peace under his control.

At the present, I have no firm idea.

I started planning on using fishing line, but the double fence seems to be working so far. 3 wire electric on the outside with a single non electric inside about 5 feet away. I have a metal tag hanging in the middle of each span that spins in the breeze. The flicker and movement might be helpful.

Thank you for the reply! I hope you can get it under control.

Now that might be fun! (Making a dulcimer). My grandkids might like to see Papa play that!

My daughter gave us several of those a few years back. I should get back to actually reading them. I have been just skimming for information on various questions, but lots of the stories are interesting.

Believe it or not, we ended up with a bountiful supply many years ago by accident. The coop was in a bad spot where water did not drain well and the flies liked the muddy poop world below during rainy times. The birds loved those big larva. A better coop and different birds now.

While I understand what people are saying in criticism of telling folks to have beans and rice, you must all understand that a complete collapse will bring everything down to the basic necessities…water, shelter, and food. A person with water and shelter CAN live on beans and rice, although not well. Your health will not thrive on that alone. The good things about beans and rice are relatively easy storage. This will aid in survival of a really bad situation. Obviously for the long haul, though, skills that can be traded, crops that can be grown, knowledge of natural health, water sources and purification are essential.

So, essentially what I advise to strive for is this:

1. A means to ensure safe water.

2. Some kind of shelter to avoid rain, heat, cold, etc.

3. A supply of long term food to get you through the first few weeks of the emergency.

4. A knowledge of gardening and combating pests for fresh food.

5. Skill with animals, wild and domesticated for raising and food.

6. Basic carpentry skills with hand tools.

7. Learn about effective composting that works.

8. Security for you and loved ones is also very important.

And, I know there are many more items. The key is to study, learn, store what you can, get your finances in order, and put some of this in place before things get bad. Learn the life skills that were common knowledge 200 years ago.

Am I there? Not by a long shot. We do what we can and seek to be helpful and patient with others in their journey.

Interesting. I wonder what the local seafood houses do with their shells!

[PapaFarmer]

Mustard repels them? If so I will plant lots!

[PapaFarmer]

The PlantNet app shows it as Partridge pea.

[PapaFarmer]

Thanks!

we started a few moringa trees. So far they are about a foot tall. Hopefully they will grow fast and stay healthy here in N Fla.

Yes, a bug out bag can give a false bit of security. When I worked in the city, I did, however, keep a backpack in the truck with essentials to help me on a walking journey home in the event some really bad stuff happened. Good to have, but not to count on for the long haul.
