Plans for 2019?

[Robinjopo1]

Anyone have any major plans for the new year? I'm going to make smaller vegetable gardens and attempt to get them healthier.

I think ive been spreading myself too thin in past years. Once I start planting, it's hard for me to stop.

For 2019 we have several projects on our list. The first will be to get the house finished. Other projects include;
Build a wood shed, an equipment shed, chicken coop for the meat chickens, drill a new well near the house, plant more berries, grapes and fruit trees and build another half mile of fencing. But most importantly we're going to take more time off to go fishing, relaxing and visit the grandkids.

That's a good list. I need a new fence around my cbicken run.

Just make a list of what you are going to do and stick with it. I know how hard it is when you go to the nursery and see all those enticing seeds and plants.

I want to plant a couple of cherry trees. I'd like to buy a battery operated chainsaw.

Most trees do best when planted in the dormant season... especially if shipped bareroot. This winter, I've already planted a few muscadines and over 30 apple trees.

I absolutely love my EGO tools. Same batteries are interchangeable with the chainsaw, weed trimmer & push mower.

 

[Proud Prepper]

My preps are completed, I have been really having to think of what I need for my prepping and have been getting crazy stuff, so I will focus on helping others with there preps. I will start with other family members that will likely come to me if a major SHTF occurs. I will also help some neighbors prep without calling it prepping. I will stick up on extra water filters that I can give to neighbors if a long term SHTF happens. Stock up on more rice, beans, flour to hide in caches as backup or to share with neighbors and trade with others.

I need to do this at 2 locations, we dont really have a buyout location, unless it's the hunting camp, but we have 2 different bug in locations.

Because of the gov shutdown and the way that the stockmarket is behaving.i need to step up on my Prepping. I figure we'll have big problems if the gov shutdown goes into February. On account there'll be civil unrest from cost to cost from ppl that won't be able to buy food.i talked with my sis about the possibility of the shutdown going into feb.on account she's disabled from a car accident a few years back..she's on disability and gets foodstamp.

I don't see me changing anything though I got to do better on putting things on rotation. The wife is going to replace my note pad and put everything spreadsheet with expiration dates then print it out for me, she noticed I missed some items in the first aid box on the last rotation and she chalked it up on me unable to read my own writing, ya leave it to a women to find my flaws anyway, that's on the list to do. She already created a spreadsheet on the food and sorted them out according to short term and long term etc...

 

[Robinjopo1]

Off topic.... I'm not superstitious, but I always make cabbage, black eyed peas and fry thick bacon rolled in corn meal. Then my husband does his annual Prime rib. Too bad my throat is so sore I only had about two bites of each.

People on SNAP program (food stamps) will continue to get them, one may not be able to speak to a Representative is the only issue Jim, though programs like WIC is going to be a problem in February

I bought a wee, economical car yesterday and will pack my gear up and move up to Scotland on Thu 10-Jan to start looking for my new place.

Other plans: learn more ancient Greek and Latin and continue my classics study; develop my car maintenance skills and take an advanced driving course; get a gun licence; get a dog. Oh, and find a few sources of income!
