Hey Cin – have you considered one of those lightweight strollers for the dog? When she decides she doesn’t want to walk anymore, you can push her in the stroller the rest of the way. If she’s a bigger dog, they do make those strollers with larger wheels as well. But, if you are on a hard and even walking trail, a stroller may solve your issue.…[Read more]

This is my fisrt post on the new format….which I really don’t like. I’m sorry, I’m sure you’ve all done a lot of work, but this new format is terribly confusing! On the other forum I could log on and just find a “new posts” icon and all the posts from the forum would come up in order of most recent posts. Is this option available here?
Also,…[Read more]

do you have a FoodSaver? If you do, you can get a ‘regular mouth’ and a ‘wide mouth’ vacuum attachment for it. You can use this attachment to suck most of the air out of the jar and seal it. This especially nice for tallow and lard because you are not exposing it to any more heat, which will only help it to store longer. Just a…

My very first storage tote that i had prepared for medical emergencies years ago has failed. :cursing: I made the mistake of keeping supplies together as I thought they would be needed. For example in this tote I had alcohol swabs, latex gloves, medical tape, cotton swabs, masks, feminine pads, gauze, betadine, hydrogen peroxide, rubbing…[Read more]

I have to admit I was a bit surprised when Congressman Robert Pittenger (R) was on Cavuto today talking about preparedness. 😮 I generally consider our elected representatives to be clueless and really have no sense of urgency in anything, let alone preparedness. He was basically talking about being prepared for an ISIS attack of some sort.…[Read more]

angie_nrs started the topic BIKES-got extra supplies? in the forum General Family Preparedness 7 years, 8 months ago
My son had a flat tire this weekend and I had an extra tube for the bike but it was the wrong size. I also had a repair kit, but the glue was dried out. It got me thinking…… We have 6 bikes and I thought I had the supplies needed to fix them if needed. Turns out I don’t. The next time I go to town, I’m going to buy several tubes and fix…[Read more]

angie_nrs replied to the topic HEAT-Emergency Heater Options in the forum General Family Preparedness 8 years, 6 months ago
I’m planning on getting a root cellar built, (a fairly large one) that would also be my ‘go to’ BOL for short term emergencies. It would also be used to store my preps, so I can finally move them out of my spare bedroom. If that emergency were to be days instead of hours, what would be the best way to keep warm? I have hand warmers, blankets,…[Read more]
