Why Food Storage?

I was thinking about food storage lately, and I wondered what other people were doing.  I came across this video with a man telling us about what he's done in regards to food storage.  I really liked it because he talked about how and why he's started storing food.  I like his setup, and how he mentions random things that people don't necessarily think about.  He even talks about bartering!  Check it out, and start thinking about what you can do!

Sling Shots in Action

Since posting earlier this week about sling shots, I admit it...I've become fanatical.  I've looked up everything I could find on sling shots.  There are SO MANY different kinds out there.  I recommend buying something relatively inexpensive and practicing with them to see if it's going to be your "thing" or not.  Then if you're serious about it, look into the more expensive ones.  I found this site http://www.chiefaj.com/national_slingshot_assocation.htm that is AMAZING!  It is Chief AJ showing off some SWEET sling shots that have been specifically modified for hunting and fishing.  Now, it is kind of expensive, but may just be right up your ally.  I also found this great video of Chris Stanley hunting a pig with a sling shot.  Great video!  Also, it's so interesting that after looking up Chief AJ, you find out that Chris Stanley used one of the Chief's sling shots to take down this pig.  Take a look, and let us know what you think!

Sling Shots

Hi Everyone!  I came across these two videos about sling shots.  The first one talks about the right way of shooting and aiming with a sling shot.  The second video is about turning a regular sling shot into one that you can use to hunt big game.  I am so excited about these videos.  I had never even thought about using a sling shot to hunt small game let alone big game!  I don't know about you, but after watching these videos I'm going to get a sling shot and start practicing!

1 Year Supply

Hello everyone!  Here is a follow up video for the 3 month supply.  I really enjoyed this video and thought you might want to check it out.    I think it's great that he talks about this being a philosophy and not just making sure you have food.  Really interesting!  Let us know what you think!

Know Your Neighbors

A few weeks ago, I went to my parents new home and stayed there for a number of days.  As I was there doing yard work, some of the neighbors wandered by.  Normally, I like to quickly end all conversations that start up with my neighbors and move indoors as soon as possible.  However, this time I realized that it was important to get to know some of the "locals" as my family is not often at this new home currently.  When I got home, I realized how strange it is that I know so much more about my neighbors at my parents new house than I do at my own house.  Doesn't that seem crazy?  So I've decided that I need to get to know my neighbors more, and encourage you to do the same!  Click HERE to view an article that tells you some benefits to knowing your neighbors, and ways to do so!  Who knows, you may find out that you not only have things in common with them, but also that you like them!  Let me know what happens!

3 Month Supply

I found this video when I was thinking about food storage.  It talks about having a three month supply of food, but having it be food that you would normally eat. This is separate from a year's supply of food.  This is a really good idea, so take some time out to watch it!
