I moved more supplies to the homestead today, in a borrowed truck.
Today was a crazy involved day moving supplies and materials to the homestead. I needed five cattle panels for the roof on the greenhouse I intend to build and I had a chance to borrow a Truck and a trailer and get them moved. While we were traveling to the homestead anyway, I threw in the accumulated prepping supplies for the last few days.
I was fortunate to find six dozen wide-mouth canning jars at Walmart, and some of my long-term storage food had just come in.
There's about 20 lb of beans another 10 lb of rice that I picked up a couple days ago now down and stored at the homestead.
I picked up some more duct tape that I like to have in quantity and I also like it the smaller roles, in case I need it for barter. I also grab it in different colors if I can find it. Marking things for polarity or ultimate destination by color is an intuitive method.
I'm trying to add ten, one gallon cans a month of deep storage food to my long-term storage. I do this primarily by sniping the Lost leaders at the different manufacturers. They give a low price to get me ready to buy their stuff so they can sell me more of the high-priced stuff, so I buy the stuff that they've discounted and nothing else. It's worked well so far, LOL!
I was able to move 5 cattle panels to my Homestead and 20 cattle panels to my nephew's Homestead, where I picked up my scaffolding and returned it to the Homestead for construction use there.
I had a squirrel AKA tree rat, get into one of my storage buildings and damaged a tiny bit of stored food by pushing it off. I blocked the entry, and will return with my 110 conibear trap to make sure it doesn't happen again.
Overall, a successful day even though with both homesteads involved I drove over 200 miles. I need to get the shift lever on my transmission fixed so I can use my own truck and trailer it would have saved me some mileage. Just one more thing to do! I don't look forward to pulling that transmission, but I don't trust anyone else to do the job.
Be blessed and keep on prepping!!!!
I need to get trained from you, you manage things so well.
No, just getting by, LOL! But if you were local, I'd be happy to train you in what I do know.
But, we'll just have to do what we can here for now!
Be blessed.
:)>Or maybe, you could settle down on this side of the world for a change some time lol
Yea, constantly learning from you
I would love to take that trip!
I have a building project at a Christian school in Kenya. The money I've been sending, has gone to concrete to make cement blocks. They have over 50 orphans there now, and that is how I found them originally.
This is what it looked like this week:
Six new classrooms, and I would love to see them; and hug the beautiful children!
Maybe you can meet me there, and we can paint it?
♡♡♡♡♡I am actually pumped and very interested in the project, when are you planning to move? I hope i'l be able to make it, roam around the beautiful country and meet them beautiful people. I heard there are beautiful forests as well, plus if the visa works same like it works for Europe where we can go several countries with the same visa, that would be nicer, lets do this
Trying to move right now but have been delayed by medical problems. There are no visas required here no papers for travel. You want to go somewhere you just go, and there are some very very nice forests. For me it would be a number of years before I could even consider travel because I've got to get everything functional at the homestead running the way I need it first.
This is on the homestead:
This is my land, you can see the 27 foot travel trailer that I bought on the upper left-hand side of the picture :
My homestead is to the right:
So I don't have to go very far to see nice trees, LOL!
♡♡♡♡♡yeah, it will suit more if done in a year or two. The visas will get sorted because of course as a tourist you can go places.
Your place is so calming and good looking, I dream of living near to nature as well one day.
If it is that you have to go far, it's not bad either, to be honest, you could walk more every day and apparently be helped with dropping some more fat ;)
Hey, who's fat? LOL.
Here within the USA, there's no need for papers; you just go where you want to go. The Liberals that are in DC are trying to change that, because they're fascist!
I did like the place immediately when I saw it, and it is nice and cool in the summer time and warmer in the winter. Having that much water real close buffers the temperature. First time I was there it was about 10 degrees cooler on the property that it was everywhere else. I do like the property! It's going to be a nice place to live.
♡♡♡♡By the way, the school in Kenya has the roof done now!
They are doing great work!
The short building on the right, is one of the old school buildings.
