does anybody else watch the history channel's show Americas book of secrets? I watched one the other day that made me wonder. is the government tracking all of us preppers? Are they counting on using us and our supplies? Not hard to track and ip address if you know what you are doing...
I have been gone from here for too long but I am back 2 years later. Lots of changes for us none good but we are pushing on. Lost my job and we lost our farm to the bank. Sadly we live in an apartment for now but we have plans in place for the future. DW is doing good no heart issues yay...
in the US it is illegal to sell wild meat. the elk and venison found in the grocery store is farm raised. For anyone that wants to hunt but doesn't know how I would recommend talking to local butchers that process wild meat to introduce you to a hunter or two that would teach you.
old Christmas lights work the same as old light bulbs.. grab one after it has been on a while.... give off a lot of heat. a hot water system may be a way to heat your green houses. I would worry that the buckets of water will give up their heat very quickly. guess it depends on your weather...
I am looking at outdoor wood furnaces myself and there are some that are super efficient. http://www.centralboiler.com/home.html
they claim that you load them once a day.....
from what I have read that if they have grass and water then they don't try to get out... Cattle from my experience walk the fence looking for a way out no matter what they already have lol.
well when we lived in Idaho we ate a lot of bison as it is healthier than beef and my wife has heart disease. I have been doing a lot of research and you do need strong fence. I built a fence once that would stop a truck but don't want that expense. It was built out of the pipe they pump oil...
My wife and I are thinking of having a small herd of bison if we are able to get the land we want. Anyone have any experience with them? The meat is so much healthier than beef.
I am late on this post but any updated on methane digesting?
also the hydrogen idea that was discussed I am curious if you made that work? Hydrogen is very dangerous if it is not 100% pure.... explosive in fact so be careful.
interestingly enough Mitsubishi has designed a reactor that is for neighborhoods! it is fully self contained and gets buried in the ground. I don't think the US government will ever allow them but interesting idea.
sadly the government currently does not allow recycling... They passed a law against it back in the 70's I believe.
as for terrorist or earthquake I cannot tell you much as it is classified but trust me when is say that a 911 style attack would not have done anything but kill the people on...
a nuclear reactor can not explode as it does not have high explosives packed perfectly around it like a nuclear bomb.
nuclear energy releases no green house gases. only thing released is heat.
solution to the waste is to recycle the waste as they do in other countries.
nuclear waste has been...
ok well we were in the same spot with internet. I went with verizon and got what they call a jetpack. It cost me $1 and I pay $50 a month for internet. It is 3g where I live but the device is 4g capable. It is wireless and battery powered. I can take it anywhere. There is a limit on my...
I will say that when it comes to easy to work on you want to stick with american made vehicles. Most of the time they are easier and cheaper to repair. I have a GMC Yukon (1998) with 245,000 miles. I get 18-19mpg driving the 30 miles each way to work. It hauls people and tows the horse...
My DW is home recovering and is bouncing back as expected. First thing she did when we pulled in the drive way was go down to pet her horse. She is black and blue from the ordeal but in good spirits. I am looking around for a small fuel efficient car for her to drive the 30 miles to the YMCA...
