Hey everyone!

It’s looking pretty bleak out there to some… my hubby and I are homesteaders but preppers at heart. I am looking at building a “barter” stash in the event cash becomes just a shitty toilet paper and means nothing to society. My list includes cigarettes, liquor, coffee, sugar, and condoms. I don’t smoke cigs but we do drink liquor, coffee, like sugar, and have a taste for fun of course… but I want to bulk up in these items not just for us but for the chance it brings value to the table for an important barter for us.

What are some items y’all would add to your “barter bin”?

Haven’t been sick for a while but I finally pulled my ticket. I don’t have health insurance anymore due to layoff. I think what I have is viral by nature but I’d like to bounce it off of yall before I drop some money to go to a doctor.

Started Sunday night with my right tonsil feeling funny. Yesterday morning fe

Curious to hear what everyone would do!

Trying these out. https://a.co/d/cL1CVXs

I’ve picked myself painfully bloody one last time. I’ve been a compulsive stress picker and nail biter my whole life. Last week I was laid off from my job and two days later my dad was put on hospice for terminal cancer. I am obliterating myself. My fingers hurt. My wrists hurt. I’m so tired of the hurt 😭 I have a therapist (2 technically.) Only time I didn’t and was able to heal was when I had professional nails done, but my hubby and I run a farm and butcher meat animals so nails like that are not hygienic so I don’t/ can’t anymore.

I’m so very tired of this grandpa

Hi everyone!

Over the last week my dad as suddenly taken a turn to sleeping majority of the day. He slept in until nearly 10am today and he religiously is a 4-6am riser.

He’s also been having a hard time keeping eyes open and generally staying awake all day. He says he just feels tired. He’s snoring on his chair, he came out of the room, bathroomed and got dressed. We took his vitals (all normal) got him his pills n water and he’s been wiped out since. I’ve woken him up to eat breakfast and drink some water. It’s 1pm now and he’s pretty much dozed all day.

This started earlier in the last week.

Diagnosed in Feb. He’s had brain surgery, chemo and radiation, and another round of chemo.

Hey everyone!

I’m looking into getting one of those little quiet generators (the kind that’s really portable and has a handle at the top to carry.) I like to call them suitcase generators lol

We have a massive 6250 watt gen for the house but sometimes I don’t want to lug the big guy out and crank up the noise. My husband and I have multiple incubators going on all the time to incubate and hatch chicks, and we are in Florida where hurricanes rear their ugly head this time of year. This can be an issue.

Milton knocked our power out for a few days, and we were doing alright with generator power and rotating the freezers. But we would shut it off at dark hours to preserve fuel and also so i

Hello my fellow leftist preppers!

I live in FL along the Gulf of Mexico coast. Doing the basics like generator maintenances, started grabbing extra cases of water just to hang on to, and soon going to be cleaning the gutters and going thru our supplies.

Who else is getting ready for what we’re expecting to be another crazy season!
