survival series , summer prep

its time to harvest the resins from pine trees.. a simple cut can yield a half cup or more of sticky sap that can save your bacon in the winter time. a simple slash and bingo you have the best firestarter in the world...next to charcloth...
also it is a good time to stock up on dry goods. seeds for the garden for next spring and water, candles, and other needed survival gear.. i waited to get a few things post hunting season and made out like a bandit at wally weird so goest thou to the store, dont looketh up or down or at the zombies in the meat aisle
also its a great time just before school starts to lay down the ground rules with the kiddies as to where when, to meet in case of an emergency before the new school year starts.. most schools have a lock down plan in place. if they dont, complain to the pta and get one going in good faith... tell the kiddies to stick to the plan.. these are scary times with a lot of nutjobs floating loose out there.. our police will not
keep you and yours safe. they are worried about theirs being safe and no one elses.. cya... and the asses of your loved ones.. teach your kids archery .. theyll love the sport and thank you for it later on when they bring dinner home... true story... my mom and dad stopped by to bring me grandpa vans hunting bow by that hed left me in his will .. since i was proficient at the bow and arrow.. and so it goes.. anyway i walk up from the edge of the field with a brace of rabbits id shot while hunting.. a brace is three or more.. it was early november at the time and well they were surprised to see me walking up with bow in hand in my cammies ...lol .. we ate well that night, rabbit stew, with mushrooms, gravy and biscuits all mixed togetherin the dutch oven.. and i got a new bow to hunt deer with.. ive used it well until it fell apart after some 70 years of use  and retired it ... gee  .. any ways happy b day penny.. 2 more to retirement age  (snicker snicker() she winks at me and says yeah like thatll ever happen... no retirement for us.. we is poor and dirt poor too.. living is tough, but were surviving..   bye all lol
