    Definitely many aspects of survival to be considered. I read all three of the books and was taking notes along the way. There is a 4th book coming out in August. My pen and pad are ready!

    WOW sister! You have a lot going on.

    First, I’m praying that YOU find peace which can be found in trusting in the Lord.

    Second, I’m praying the same for your husband and daughters, all of them because I know how at anytime family is affected by family.

    You didn’t ask for advice so I won’t give any. However, I wanted to recommend that you post on FB Marketplace those big items that are difficult to move. Terminator is a perfect example of how people will come and pick up unwanted items that they can put to use and who knows, you might make a little money in the process.

    Sending love and prayers.

    Hey Art!

    So I was thinking about how-to’s for this post. For example, how do you connect (whether it be with nail or screw) two boards in a 90 degree angle with just one person? I’ve seen men just hold the boards in place and get’r done but with my small hands, I struggle. Recently, I watched a YT video that showed a clamp that actually held two 2x4s at a 90 degree angle while you screw them together. It’s a game changer for me. I might actually get a few building projects done in a timely manner.

    Anyone else have useful advice for us single-steaders to help around the homestead. I’d really appreciate hearing what you have to say.

    I wouldn’t be in a hurry to till up the tomatoes. I’ve found that they grow/produce very slowly from now through September but then they take off again. If the weeds are bothering you, you might try mowing in the rows then putting cardboard down.

    Gardening has a lot of success and failures. Just do what you can and don’t fret too much about it.

    I’m glad you went this route as they truly do have benefits.

    Tag has a video on how he caught the beetles. You can search his Life Done Free videos. It’s one of his first videos.

    This will be my first year to grow sweet potatoes. I know they will do well in my area just waiting on the slips to root.

    I don’t believe propane has the same problem. It’s more of a gas than liquid isn’t it?.
