Sorry I haven't been on in a while. I have been crazy busy. Just thought I'd catch up. I love to hear from you guys, so please reply away!
I took my 4 year old, the hubby, and my 14 year old twin brothers camping up in golden gate canyon. It was freezing, and the truck is having issues with possibly sparkplugs, so anyway.. it was quite a trip. The camper we own in from the 70's and runs like a top and everything works amazing. Except the support jack stands got stuck down on the ground. We couldn't drive like that, so we fixed it.... it took about an hour. But go us, we did it!
We finally sat the twins (thats what we call them) down and explained about TSHTF, and how as the men of the house (my dad is a FF on duty for 48 HRS @ a time, I worry he may be on shift if the SHTF and not be able to get to my mom) anyway..as the men of the house, it is their job to defend the house and protect mom. We explained about letting the dogs (two 200lb labs) defend them as well. I told them about food and water supplies, and sources of power. They are very interested in learning more about our new survivalist lifestyle. One of them even offered to help us convert our truck to bio-diesel. And what we need to do ect. They want to hunt and fish with us. And they always help us cook. I haven't told my mom yet about all this, but I know she will agree being prepared is important. My dad I'm sure will think I'm nuts but if TSHTF he will be more ready than most. He's just like that. Plus he has a HAM radio so thats cool. Anyway, my mom has been saying she wants a handgun in the house, because of the way things are changing. She is scared people will rob her, and I don't blame her. So now her, my hubby, and I are all going to take a gun safety class, and get concealed weapons permits, and get my mom and I a gun. Hubby has one. We also have 2 shotguns. They are at his dad's we just need a safe. I'm also thinking about getting a few rifles and a few more shotguns. The twins can shoot, but obviously at 14 can't own a weapon, but if the S&%T hits the fan, I want them armed. I'm serious, F gun laws if I need to protect my family :)
What do you guys think of all that?
Also I found solar power panels thingys for my RV battery at costco for 25$.. I'm buying some.
Also, I bought a juicer, and blender, and a bread machine. I'm getting a vacuum sealer, canning stuff, and a dehydrator. I will be 100% ready to make all my own food. Also I am planting a veggie garden, and found some small farms near me. So that makes me happy. I'm also learning to sew. I mean come on, if tshtf, and I can cook and sew, and I'm one of few women left, you guys will be glad you know me :) HAHA!
anyway on our drive home we saw the most beautiful elk (4), man I wish it was hunting season. They looked tasty!
