  1. Weather returned to normal winter temps this week and makes it much easier to work outside with the animals. I respect you northern homesteaders for braving the bitter cold, snow and spring flooding; did it when I was young, but now I prefer milder temperatures.

    Busy week of putting up food; canned beef broth, vegetable beef soup, kale, jalapeno peppers and some turkey drippings. FD lemons, oranges, zukes and sweet peppers, celery and mixed veges. Cooked a 16 pd turkey but only got 9 pds of meat to FD, so I got another one at $0.59/pd. That will be next week’s work.

    Ordered a bag of mixed spouting seeds and broccoli sprouting seeds which I read have the highest nutrient value in sprouts. Because of the broccoli seed size I have to use jars instead of my sprouting trays, so I got a few more drain lids to use more bottles at one time.

    May you have a safe and productive week.

    1. Lily and Animal House,

      This statement, “We all are benefiting from each other’s experiences.” Lovely. one of the reasons I recommend SB to friends. We have an online village where we share many things. I am grateful.

      I’ll offer you a quote I found today:
      “I’m trying to embody that phrase attributed to St. Francis: ‘Preach the gospel at all times; if necessary, use words.'”

      Carry on

  3. Lily’s comments brought a question to mind.

    Does anyone know of a seed company/catalogue that specializes in cool weather, short growing season varieties of standard vegetables?

    4. https://www.johnnyseeds.com/ is based in Maine which has the far northern climate with long summer days and cool, growth-slowing nights similar to the American Redoubt. All their seed is non-GMO, some hybrid, some straight organic. I’ve had great success with their seed. They do a lot of research and development of new strains. They were recommended to me by my local northern Idaho Master Gardeners.

      Another favorite is https://irisheyesgardenseeds.com/ . Highly recommend for top quality.

  4. It was a pretty decent week here. A local store had a great sale on shelving so I bought and assembled a few shelving units to help organize all our stuff. Our storage looks so much better now. I also finished writing up my first article for Survialblog. Its being proof read now and I hope to submit it next week. Its looking like the weather is supposed to stay nice the first part of next week, so I’m hoping to finish a couple of projects before spending Thanksgiving with the family.

  5. As the weather turns, so do the projects! With winter we switch to indoor work and this year that means more remodeling of the house. But there is always the preparation work going on as well.
    This week we started moving things into our new storage containers of choice, the Plano Sportman’s Trunks. They come in three sizes, including a footlocker size, are stackable, lockable, have tie-down points, and are pretty weather tight – we’ve left one in the rain for several days and not a drop of moisture made it inside. So 90-day medical supplies were packed this week, emergency evacuation boxes for the vehicles were packed, stacked and labeled in the garage and the filled boxes were stenciled for identification.
    I also replaced the skid shoes on the snow plow this week. They have been back-ordered for 3 months (!) but finally came in so they are installed and adjusted and the plow is ready to go. I ordered three sets of shoes but only has come in – so we still have none in back-up supply.
    We watched a pretty good video about the Mexican drug cartels and the LeBaron’s (the LDS family ambushed) and their long-standing feud. This was made before the attack and shows how long the family, and others like them, have been targeted by the cartels. Remember these folks are still missing _12_ family members from the ambush! If you are interested in the video it is at https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/7bedeb/the-mexican-mormon-war-part-1
    Also this week, I added a small fireman’s ax to our vehicle kit, purchased some “lifeboat rations” in lemon and cinnamon flavors to taste test, and today we are going over the load plans on our roll-out boxes.
    And there is always the reading and studying of course. I started the Hillsdale College online class about the US Constitution this week and wrapped up a study focused on “What is my Purpose?”, first six chapters of Genesis was just the beginning (no pun intended).
    We also painted the living room, dining room and half the kitchen this week!
    Tip of the week: you can wrap about 40 inches of duct tape around a mini-Bic lighter in about 10 minutes while talking or watching TV or sitting with a hot drink at the end of the day.

  6. Most of our time is being spent working (a real blessing!) and preparing the house for the holidays and company. We actually have company coming and our grown children around this year. Enjoying every minute of these blessings. I wonder how many Christmases we will have with the luxuries we have now. I plan to enjoy every moment and the joy of a lit tree at its finest. These memories may have to last us through some interesting times that might be coming. Enjoy and appreciate the present while preparing for the future is my thought.

    Today I’ll be putting up a pumpkin and making pumpkin soup. Since we only have one this year, I’ll freeze the meat. Pumpkin meat is easy to dry, but my family doesn’t like it so I’ll just make pumpkin soup to freeze which I love. They do like the roasted seeds.

    I ordered blackout curtains and will be able to have two rooms at the back of the house secured.

    Since I couldn’t garden this year, I’ve been on the lookout for extra veggies to dehydrate. Today I’ll start a tray of peas. So easy to use rehydrated or just tossed into soup. Frozen veggies are still reasonably priced at times.

  7. Spent a good amount of time canning spuds.The yams are next and then cabbage.We rolled up put away all of the hoses that are laid from the well head out into the woods.
    Granny finished knitting the last pair of wool mittens for our friends and is working on patching up my slippers.
    The twenty year old ATV got a new starter and wouldn’t you know it the same day the newer
    ATV starter took a dump.Its always something.
    We made a Costco run to pick up a bag of dry pinto beans to put up in one pound meal saver bags, also 40 pounds of sugar.
    Granny was looking for some new books for her winter reading stash. We need a new toaster but Costco has ones that are made in China so that’s not an option.
    Speaking of Costco.The other day I saw a list of companies that are anti second amendment
    and Costco was on it. There was no ampliefieing information.Just a list.
    If anyone has any details on that please responed

    1. From Costco’s own website:

      “Costco policy prohibits firearms to be brought into the warehouse, except in the case of authorized law enforcement officers.”

      “Costco does not believe that it is necessary for firearms to be brought into its warehouse stores, except in the case of authorized law enforcement officers. For the protection of all our members and employees, we feel this is a reasonable and prudent precaution to ensure a pleasant shopping experience and safe workplace. Our policy is meant to protect our members and employees in all warehouses around the world. This is not a new policy and we do not customize the policy for each individual city/county/state/country where we doing business.

      Our primary goal at Costco Wholesale is to keep our members happy. If you believe that our policy restricting members from bringing firearms into our warehouse stores is either unfair or excessively burdensome, or you cannot agree to abide by this policy, or you are dissatisfied for any other reason, Costco will promptly refund your annual membership fee in full.”

      For what it’s worth I shop at Costco and conceal carry there every time. My only other choice is Sam’s Club which has a crappier position on the 2nd.

      1. I guess that its an ugly sign of the times that we live in.Large corporations must not be able to understand that a maniac with a gun will enter their stores and open fire with no regard for the rules or regulations,just because they want to.
        I’m pretty sure that we can buy anything that Costco sells at other stores.Maybe not in as large quantities but everything should be available,
        Citi Bank with the Costco Anywhere VISA Card is also on the anti second amendment list.
        Losing the business of one customer will mean nothing to Costco or Citi Bank.
        To me it’s a matter of principle and be for others.

    2. NormlChuck,

      For many years, Costco has been anti-Second Amendment. Since they are a membership club, they do not need to post their policy at the store/club entrance doors in any state. Instead, buried way down deep, in small fine print on their website, is their policy of no firearms allowed in their stores/clubs except by uniformed, on-duty law enforcement officers. When you join and pay your dues, you are agreeing to their terms and conditions. If is your responsibility to read and abide by said rules.

      Word went out about that many years ago, after a gentleman, who was carrying concealed but got careless while reaching for something, was spotted by another member who saw the offending inanimate object, freaked but was in control enough to find an employee and tell them, who passed on the information to the service desk, who called the local constabulary, who showed up and evacuated the store. The poor guy who was the subject of all this excitement, exited the store with everyone else. As he did so, the police yelled at him, said to halt, put his hands on his head – the usual. Of course, he had no idea they were yelling at him, didn’t know why, didn’t react fast enough to make them happy or feel safe, and got shot – dead.

      We had been members of many years at that point, since they were called Price Club. When we got the information, my DH started doing his due diligence by calling the store, calling corporate, being told to check their website, and reading the ENTIRE site until he finally found the clause in question, buried really deep into the website. We cancelled our membership that day and joined Sam’s Club the next time we were in town and driving by one. Have not stepped foot inside a Costco since.

      I will say that, when we were working with volunteer law enforcement, I went into Costco stores, in uniform, openly armed, several times and was greeted and treated politely, even more so than as a regular citizen. Never had a problem. But principles being what they are, and discretion being the better part of valor, since we both carry concealed all the time, we left Costco. I am hoping that Sam’s and Walmart don’t decide to jump on the bandwagon and ban firearms in their stores. Of course, here in Texas, that might not be a very wise business move, but Bentonville will do what they want, now that Sam Walton has passed on and, apparently, his kids aren’t quite as savvy about the local political climates around the country as he was.

      I hope that answers your question.

  8. I think you might be onto something Lily, with your observations about the “house garden” growing so much faster as it’s warm both day and night inside the house. When I was growing a garden at a school in Israel last year I was astounded by how fast some of our veggies grew. I think that it was likely due, as you suspect, to higher night time temps than we would usually experience in the “North Country”. So if it was an 80 degree day there, between the urban island “heat sink”, the nearby Mediterranean and just an overall lower difference in day to night temps, the growing process was enhanced. Here in the far north, even if the day is warm and sunny we usually need to wear a sweater at night as it’s quite cool; not the case there.

    When I have a garden again here I’m planning on experimenting by using row cover at night on one section of crops that I normally don’t keep covered, and not on the adjacent section of the same crop. Then I’ll look to see if there’s a difference in growth between the two. Perhaps I’ll even try using a double thickness of row cover at night. I like the idea of being able to speed up the plant growth(and harvest) while using no extra supplemental heat.

    I’d like to know more about what Ice Farmer is saying but I really really hate podcasts(and videos); so far I’ve just not gotten into it. I prefer to take in my info by reading. May have to try to do it anyway.

    Not much prepping going on here as I’m still a nomad. Did pick up extra batteries, some food such as pasta, oatmeal, coffee and sugar and my order of N-95 dusk masks(useful for house renovation, barn clean-up and the occasional mega disaster). I also went to the sock sale which is a local 2 weekend a year mega sale here at the company which makes Darn Tough socks. I wear nothing but their socks. Bought some more for me(merino blend hikers) and some for a holiday present for my son. The savings on these is incredible; met people who have come to it from New Jersey today. Heard about a woman who came from Virginia. If I gotta go through the apocalypse, I want to do it wearing their socks! 😉

    2. Dear Ani,

      I don’t know what to say concerning Darn Tough socks. We buy them, love them, wear them. But they last only a year on our bony feet. The balls of our bony feet wear through them lickety split. I have sent many back with holes in the balls of the foot of which they have gladly replaced. But my question is, ethically speaking, how long should I do that for?? We are about to send back, maybe, the third set of replaced socks from the originally bought socks. Every year I send back 4-6 pairs, honestly worn through. Their policy is great for us, but not great for their business, with our feet. This is my honest dilemma with them.

      1. I have no idea how you manage to wear those out! 😉 I kinda sorta wore through the heel on my absolute favorite pair after wearing it for years! And it didn’t even have a hole- just a little thin at the back of the heels. I buy mine as “irregulars” at the factory sale at deep discount so the lifetime warranty doesn’t apply but they’re still awesome. You must have some unusual feet! Maybe the factory should use you to come up with an even better type of construction!

        Have you tried the hiker type with the padded sole and heel?

    3. Lucky woman, Ani. Living near the Darn Tough socks factory. That might be worth a long road trip someday. Ever since James recommended Darn Tough on this site, I ask my sweet spouse to buy me a couple pair for Christmas. I have so many now and they seem to last forever so I’ll have to ask for something else. BTW, when she get me a couple pair, she gets herself some. We love ’em.

      Carry on

  9. To the fellow who said God said not to prep because he would have to flee and leave it all behind, I would recommend he establishes several places away from where he is living, to store his stuff. He should get to know several other preppers where he can store the basics. Put a nice storage shed on their property and fill it up. If he does not arrive there, and if forced to go to another place has he supplies, then that friend can use that stuff. He may also get an old moving van, a 1 ton flatbed, or 20 foot van with a trailer, and old motor home, and store stuff in there as well. He might use that to get to his friend’s place where he has more supplies. It is an alternate plan, that even those with establish homesteads should also have. We could have it all, yet loose it all to an unexpected event.

    Where there is a will, there is a way. Where there is no will, there is no way. And for those who believe they cannot afford to prep, it could be that priorities need to be changed. Although I am dirt poor, with emphasis on ‘dirt’, the Lord as been faithful in amazing ways, and out of the blue, like a bolt of lightening, He provides. And I am thankful. Although my income is certainly less than 5K and often less than 3k, I am far better prepared than most. It does require sacrifice and discipline. Yet mostly faith. I am not bragging, but being honest, and by example, hope to demonstrate that what appears to be impossible is possible. Focus on it like a laser beam and get it done. Stick with the basics. Cut out of your life that which is not essential. Get tough with yourself. Pray and ask for Him for the necessary provisions, and that He would choose your friends, and find a safe place for you.

    Mindset is key. It is developed though action. I would be more generous to those who have striven hard to prep, and made sacrifices, than to those who had better things to do and decided to enjoy the comforts and illusions of this world, rather than take His Word seriously. Why? Because they have the correct mindset and will be an asset, and not waste precious supplies, or be an encumbrance. Someone with out the right mindset, might actually be dangerous to those around them. Unintentionally of course, and only in certain instances. The Lord is looking for warriors, not wimps. It is not a salvation issue. Yet one must live by faith now. And as a warning, the irrational, and the all consuming type of fear is Satan’s fiery darts, and is destructive to your life. Fear is a useful emotion that should not be ignored. It can motivate, but it should not consume you. Eventually fear is not apart of your daily life, but a temporary and fleeting thing. We need not fear. And should not do so continuously.

    I also believe that even with the mark in place, I will be able to trade with a few I can trust, who have taken the mark. For example, if they have work to be done, I would accept gasoline, a chainsaw, or other such in lieu of cash, or money. For example if we agree that the chainsaw is worth $100, I will work at an hourly rate until I’ve earned it. I already to do this with some people, and more frequently. They often prefer to trade stuff than use cash. Often I get a bargain, and trade that item off for something else. I could also ask them to pick up particular item I need as a part of the trade. Instead of paying myself, they pay. Get to know them now, and practice this now to build trading partners, or a customer base. It works.

  10. BTW, I would be interested in any 6.5×55 antique rifle in any condition, including only a barreled action in rough condition. Don’t care if it is pitied with rust, I’ve got a new barrel for it, but the action must be serviceable.

  11. Lily, we also find that this time of year often brings more opportunities to get outdoors. We did a large family camping trip over veterans day weekend on the far northern tip of the Oregon coast. The campground was incredibly full of folks who had similar ideas. It rained for most of our time but with good rain gear, we all had a great time exploring the area.

    We are also still trying to finish fall chores. We defrosted two of our chest freezers, cleaned them and took inventory to ensure we know what we have. Similarly, we have been organizing our short and long term food storage, weeding out any jars that have gone bad and taking a new inventory so that we can resupply what is needed.

    Outdoor chores continue as well. We did not get to all of our growing beds yet so we are working one bed at a time weeding and preparing them for winter. This is always a multi-step process that finds us weeding, raking leaves, building and turning our compost pile, spreading wood ash and covering the beds with either a cover crop or mulch.

    I have been following Ice Age Farmer on a regular basis, and the severe loss of pigs from swine flu, beef from drought, too much rain or lack of feed, and multiple crop failures not only here in the US but across the world has put an exclamation point on the urgency of both growing your own food and putting food away. We are taking advantage of the seasonal sales to add to our stores. I’m also reading about high tunnels and 4 season growing and it has me thinking about how to incorporate one on our property. There is always more reading to do and supplies to acquire!

  12. A quick heads up , was noitfied our order of seed potatoes could not be filled completely for coming year ,(40,000 lbs ,) but maybe 10,000lbs due to crop loss ,
    Looks like we are in for a ruff ride ,
    More later if time permits

    Tea and chocolate

  13. A couple years ago, our area experienced a cooler than usual summer with average temperatures — off just a couple of degrees. The cascading results were really quite dramatic: the trees were late in producing flowers, and our honey bees absconded. All of them. We were already aware of the coming GSM, but before us was the extraordinary example of just one consequence resulting from a relatively minor change. Quite suddenly we lost a substantial population of pollinator helpers. This gave us pause, and we share the experience with others. Long before the earth ices over once more, we are at great risk for food and other shortages. A couple of degrees can have a tremendous adverse impact. The posts of other readers confirm that some shortages are already here. Others are very probably on the way, and may be just around the corner. Combine these concerns with some other form of upheaval (economic, political, sociological), and conditions could become very difficult, quickly, and with little or no warning. Continue to prepare. Encourage others to do the same.

  14. Dear Lily, Thank you so much for all that you share. It is a ministry to us readers. You asked for comments and feedback, so here are a few. I am likeminded with you on end times and preparedness, even though I have not moved to the Redoubt yet. I feel encouraged every time you write and share. I love your heart and “can do” spirit. I, too, love to play in the snow and enjoy hearing about your adventures outdoors. Most importantly, I love that you love Jesus and willingly share how He is leading you.
    I agree with all your comments about prepping to share. That is what I am doing. I plan to prepare a retreat for 25, not knowing who the Lord wants to be there. With most of my family south of Seattle and a couple in Los Angeles, it is not likely they would make it. I tell them all the time I love them forever.
    I feel the Lord has called me to do this. I try to be wise about opsec, and yet do not lose sleep worrying about supplies being stolen. That is too much for me; they are God’s supplies and He will do whatever He pleases with them. Frankly, I would just as soon go up to heaven in the flash of a nuke and skip the whole,”being tortured and persecuted by the Beast, time period.” But I must obey my Heavenly Father, just as you are.
    One way I have been prepping is by collecting -20 degree sleeping bags. As with all other preps, by the time people figure out they need one, it will be too late. Last year I picked out a beautiful vintage looking style, but they were discontinued after I had only purchased three. Obviously, with so many to buy, I have to wait for sales. These are not, “climb the highest mountain,” sleeping bags. They are the heavy canvas with flannel type. I have 11 so far and am working my way up to 25. What if the GSM causes extreme winter storm worse than thought? Staying extra warm while sleeping reduces the need of calorie usage to keep you warm. What if you don’t want thermal heat coming out of the chimney because of a nearby enemy? Also, one thing I learned is that sleeping bags have fire retardant on them. I plan on washing it out next summer when I can hang them out to dry. I also plan on making cotton liners for inside and outside, for ease of laundering after shtf.
    I didn’t mean to be so long winded.
    Keep up the good work, Lily. You encourage us all.
    Blessings,
    Krissy

  15. This week I used our mower to bag up a heaping pickup truck load of wet chopped leaves and grass, ready to layer on top of another garden bed.

    I hosted another CERT monthly meeting, reviewing comparisons survival of Hurricane Maria, to our looming Cascadia Earthquake with our 26 team members.

    We studied propane safety and received several videos of devastation from small and large propane tanks blowing up.

    I quizzed everyone on readiness for power outage for cooking, warmth, power generation, sanitation. We also did an in-depth area review of bridges to fall down and alternate routes our very proactive county emergency management people have developed.

    Bottom line is, “No one is coming. It’s up to us.”

    With so many older, transplanted, non-locally-raised people here, they don’t understand how country, rural people grow up and have the equipment for subsisting when the world crashes.

    So I tell our oldsters that they don’t really have to have chainsaws but really should plan to store at least 5 gallons of stabilized fuel to provide barter with chainsaw owners, and so forth for networking with neighbors.

    If 28 lower income families each have 5 gallons of long term fuel stored, that does a lot to help restore community after a major earthquake.

    I went to Montana to buy another .22 from a big box store. I was told Washington State sued Montana to prevent anyone from WA exercising their 2A rights to buy modern sporting rifles (MSRs) so the staff would not show me MSRs.
    I did get my grandkids 10/22. Dang the WA AG and Gov.

    The WA anti 2A groups are working to build more success with another round of new restrictions.

  16. Hello Krissy,

    Thank you for your sweet words. I have mixed feelings about surviving through all that is coming upon the world. I too, don’t really care to deal with the Mark and the Persecution, but there appears to be promises that we will shine like lights and will do great exploits for the LORD greater than those of the Apostles. Meaning that if we are willing vessels, He will use us to preach the Word and to heal his people, etc. But HE must get all of the glory. If we get prideful,of what He is doing through us, He will no longer protect us. Yeshua using us will be only occur because of our continually repentant heart and surrender and obedience to HIM and NOT being Fearful (God Help Us, please) that He will use us. Also, I really want to hear the two witnesses preach the gospel in Jerusalem. (I’m sure it will be broadcasted through all of the media, maybe?? Maybe not in this climate of censorship???) How incredibly awesome that will be!!!!!! How much will our hearts burn within us in those days for the salvation of the Jewish people and all who have rejected Yeshua even up to that point?

    You know, I am thinking that the rapture may occur on the same day and time that the witnesses are resurrected from the dead. You know that the unsaved people will be rejoicing at their deaths. Can you imagine their surprise and horror at seeing their resurrected bodies go up in the clouds like Jesus’ did? And then, as we are being raptured, God sending down HIS angels to dispense His WRATH on unrepentant mankind, all of those who take the Mark who have rejected Him? Whenever the opportunity arises, I am warning people of what is coming both here in the blog and when I am out and about. He is at the door! WOE WOE WOE to the inhabitants of the earth!

    Krissy, may you be so blessed and encouraged in Jesus/Yeshua, and thank you for also being an encouragement to me!!! 😉

    Lily

    1. Yes, the Lord gets all the glory!!! Forgive me if anything sounded prideful, as that was certainly not my intention. After 30 years of abuse, I feel broken. All I have and am is because the Lord has heard my groanings from the depth of my being and rescued me. His kindness knows no bounds. I am not pretentious. This is me. I struggle with PTSD, anxiety and depression. The Lord sees me and cares for my wounds. I am humbled to have mental health issues. This has provided a whole new realm of understanding and compassion for those who suffer the same. If it were up to me to choose my affliction, hmm…, brain tumor! One gets loads of compassion. Tell others you have mental health problems, and they instantly distance themselves. While that can be painful, I trust the Lord gave me these afflictions to glorify himself moving forward. I so want to be like Mary and say in my heart, “May it be as you said.” Yes, I agree with regularly confessing our sins and asking for forgiveness…
      About watching the two witnesses, you’ve just got me asking the Lord for box seats… in heaven looking down!!! Blessings on your week, Krissy

      1. Dear Krissy,

        No, no, don’t you worry. I didn’t think that at all. I worry about my thoughts of pride and being used of the Lord. It was a warning to all of us. I am writing to you, but so many others are also reading, that I am also writing to them too. 🙂

        Concerning anxiety and stuff, make sure you are not eating any artificial sugars (Aspartame, especially) and chemicals. Try not to eat any packaged foods at all since they are full of chemicals that trigger the flight or fight response/adrenalin which is the source of much anxiety. Eat lots of good fats, like avocado, fruits, and veggies. They all help. Mental/hormonal issues are often related and are often diet based.

        May you be super blessed and at peace in this coming week!

        Lily

  17. I watched Oppenheimer Ranch daily for the last year+. About 2-3 weeks ago he posted a video where he went on an epic rant which showed his true marxist roots. He raged about how he hates America, celebrates wounded veterans, and has utter disgust for the viewers that dont think like him. Its was an appalling and vulgar display that seemed to genuinely show his shameful beliefs. The subscriber comments were overwhelmingly critical and disgusted of Diamond. He ended up deleting the video but the damage was done. I’ll never watch him again. A real shame because there is a ton of good info on the channel. I refuse to support someone that hates everything I stand for.

  18. A few thoughts to add to the conversation… The bioavailability of nutrients to your garden plants is based significantly on a combination pH and temperature. This includes the temperature of both the environmental surround and the medium via which the nutrients are delivered. Whether you’re growing in-ground or using a hydroponics system, understanding these factors will help improve the likelihood of success!

  19. An idea to share… We have shipped care packages for unprepared (or unconvinced) family members, including basic evacuation supplies specific to the need for rapid evacuation. Specifically, we are concerned for family in the PNW who are too physically distant from us for direct rescue should there be a catastrophe. The boxes are limited to critical supply items (they’re modest in size), and have included a personal letter detailing some of the risks about which we’re concerned, and sharing a starter list of items we hope will be added to emergency stash. Some are more receptive than others. With certainty, this has been a helpful conversation starter. …and like Krissy, we tell them often that we will love them forever.
