Hey all. I’m having a mid life crisis, and want to prepare for when the SHTF. Martial law, rioting, government take over, revolutions……you know, the weirdos that are made from conspiracy theories. Actually, it really isn’t hard to imagine any of those things happening these days. Except for a revolution….that’s probably gonna happen when my 1 1/2 year old granddaughter is entering her mid life crisis. Anyway, here I am….I’m interested in the do it yourself, canning, drying, prepping stuff. I crochet, which comes in handy when you need a hat, or a scarf, or a blanket. I LOVE to read. I started smoterhoming last year. That is a term completely made up by me. Smoterhoming = our summer home is our motor home = smoterhoming. Prior to smoterhoming, I used a travel trailer, and prior to that, I tented. I still have the brains of a seasoned tenter, just not the body. I’m too old to be laying on the ground unless I absolutely have to. I can cook anything over an open fyre. I’m an experimental cooker. I know how to make, and can, applesauce. I’m interested in canning green beans. I want to dehydrate peas. I have this disease known as diarrhea of the mouth. I’ve been working on a cure my entire life. I haven’t found one yet…I’ve only been able to stop some of the symptoms, such as – not thinking before you speak (that’s a tough symptom, it requires thought.) Catch ya’ll on the flip side!
