Added a mixture of cleaning and hygiene supplies to the overall. Also more matches, candles and motor oil. I'm trying hard to increase all my areas of preps, just have this feeling that all of it will be needed sooner rather than later and for the life of me wish I didn't but the feeling keeps growing. No harm at all in having more of the things I normally use.

Please let us know how it goes. Just did a presentation on Thursday night to about 40 preppers that was well received. People were eager for the information. Hope it goes well for you!Originally Posted by xusualsuspectx
This weekend we took a little trip to a not-so-local meat processing plant. Scored some major deals on about 80lbs of beef and pork. Also, they do custom processing for a very decent price. My parents used to butcher their own beef/pork/chicken/venison, but they had the advantage of a cold winter. Down this far south you really don't have that option, so it's either build a smokehouse, or pay someone to process it for you. I guess that works for me.
Also, we picked up two dogs, since my husband accidentally ran over and killed my dog last week. Yeah, now that I can actually type that without bursting into tears, or yelling at my husband. I should have prepped waterproof mascara, because I'll be danged but I was bursting out crying at the most awkward times. Anyway, we need dogs here, since the neighbors mutts are all over the area, plus wild critters bugging my chickens, etc. So we rescued a beautiful blue heeler puppy, about 6 mo. old, and a 3 yr old Catahoula, both just about to meet their Maker, due to an over abundance of animals at the shelter just over the Ky line. I have spent the better part of the last few days working with them, they are doing very well so far, and catching on quickly. The shelter kid (she couldn't of been more than 19-20 yrs old) was getting drug around, and by this morning I had them at my side, on a slack leash, sitting when given the command. Not too shabby! I have a theory, that training dogs will be a lot like training horses, and a lot like doing laundry. Keep caught up by doing a little every day, and you will be alright. Slack off for a few weeks and you will be drowning in dirty laundry, and it will take forever to get caught back up. If you work with your horses, or dogs, a little every day, they will do great. But if you don't stay consistent, and you are not investing the time in them that they need, working them, training them, exercising them, you will be overwhelmed with hyper, crazy, unhappy, and potentially dangerous animals. Take the time to do it right, and it wont end up taking much time at all. Slack, or "rush it", and you are in for a world of hurt and frustration. So, I am still heart broken over my Justice dog. He was one in a million. These new dogs don't, and can't replace him. It's like losing a child and getting a gold fish. But they are still good, and needed, and I enjoy the mental and physical challenge they provide. I guess I just get my kicks taking an animal that is out of control, and helping them find balance, it's very gratifying.

I walked into the Wally World and found huge bins of spices for $.50ea, got onion powder, onion flakes, Italian seasoning, garlic salt, cinnamon, nutmeg etc. not a huge selection, but they don't expire till 16' so I'm putting them away, and since we rotate regularly, we'll use them before expiration. My thinking is making beans and rice taste better in a bad situation.
