Greetings, For the past 3-4 years some from survivalist web sites have been meeting twice a year. This year I opened the invitation list to anyone interested-but still by invitation. We will be covering emergency repairs to keep you car going in an emergency/preventive maintenance/ and an emergency ...

Thanks Shirlz, Seems my E buddy is as far behind as I. Do not remember anything about the phenomenon then. Was it publicized?? Must have not paid it any attention. wc

From an E---Mars The Red Planet is about to be spectacular! This month and next, Earth is catching up with Mars in an encounter that will culminate in the closest approach between the two planets in recorded history.

We heat with wood and it is two years heat supply(logs). Sucotash is a soup made with corn/okra/tomatoes. Some add lima beans and we do occasionally to some.

Thanks for the warm welcome folks(that is southern slang for good people). North Carolina is halfway up/down the East coast of the US. One of the original 13 and used to go to the Mississippi river taking in South Carolina,Tennessee,and Kentucky. The weather is moderate(most of the time) with winter...

A friend told me about your site-great. Have always been into organic gardening and tend to be very self-sufficent. We have range chickens that keep our grass mowed(most of the time) and the bug population down. Two small ponds provide protein occasionally. I harvest 2-3 deer and process them for my...
