RE: Why Steel? (Bushcraft - Fire Starting) - 'Re-Source' - Eggstatic #171
Been enjoying seeing your post in the prepping sections. I am way to busy right now to get out of the homesteading and into the prepping stuff but I hope this winter when things slow down I will have time. I love to find old quality hand tools that I refurbish and use in my kits. Really like the older true temper carpenter axes that have nail pullers and hammer backs for a great multi tool. Works great for camping, hiking and running trap lines and you can usually find them for $25 or less. My prepping over time after buying land became homesteading since I turned my seed banks into gardens and food storage into livestock. If you have what you need on a homestead you have lots of useful tools for prepping if it even comes to it. Looking forward to you future post.
Hi @liberyworms, I greatly appreciate your kind words :)
I'm desperate to get hold of some land (Ideally in Cornwall or Devon just to mitigate the increasing global crop losses due to building weather extremes) so I can move on from prepping to homesteading. My wife and I are really short on funds and to be honest, homesteading isn't what she's after so while she's training to become a primary school teacher, it'll up to me to tend the vegetables, etc. I'm trying to get some growing skills by some basic beans, potatoes, etc. growing at my mums garden.
Thanks again,
Rob.
btw, On top of my veggie seed bank, I've started on some wild veggies to (stinging nettles, plantain (ribwort & greater) and a few others :)
