When Does Preparedness Change from Diligence in to Obsession
This depends on who you ask honestly. I think you need enough to get a garden producing, and 2 chickens per person plus a rooster. Which I don't have. You can survive on a potato and an egg a day, not well but... But at some point you have to be able to replenish when there are no supplies... -
Alternative Heat
I would love a wood burning stove in our house. The work to put one in properly is a little off putting though. My granny had one. It would heat her whole house to the point of bloody nose dry when she was left in charge of the dampers. If memory serves me right she would burn about 1 1/2 to 2... -
Quonset Hut Home
Considering loads. If built here I don't think snow loads will ever be an issue. Also by the very design/shape they are very structurally sound. Arches have been around forever and are still standing from back during the roman times. I would love to build something into the side of a hill. -
This is cool
I would think the edge of the eye would be to sharp for fishing line -
Homemade Fire Starters
Many years ago I had a friend that would mix gas with Styrofoam and pour it into the paper egg cartons. When we would go camping rip one off and throw it into the fire. You could burn water with it -

Grid Down
The biggest problem in general is that if you don't have a garden already growing and food canned for the winter you are screwed if the SHTF tomorrow. You can eat what ever you can shoot but that would be about it. I would say that about 50% of Americans would die in 6 months. Especially in... -
Pic o the day 07NOV19
Ouch Just out of curiosity how does the quote go along with the pic? I had to google it to get the meaning so maybe there's some lost in translation there -
What Would Happen If the Internet Went Down ... Forever?
Holy crap, I didn't think about that. That would make work go much slower. Trump wouldn't be able to say all of the stupid stuff he does, or at least we wouldn't have to hear it -

I'm hurting today. Might have overdone it a touch yesterday -

I know the feeling. Weekends seem to be my down fall. I was 187.6 on Friday. I didn't weigh myself this morning but l know lm heavier. Just got back from a brutal cardio workout. -

I'm going to do my fit test this afternoon. My weight is a little scewed due to last weekend being my 18th anniversary. I weighed 190.7 which is about 3 or 4 pounds higher than normal, just water weight I'm sure. I ate a lot this weekend went to Fogo De Chao for dinner Saturday (I'll never go... -

My wife was about to send me to one of those sleep study things to see if I needed one. When we did the ODT weight loss challenge and I lost 55 lbs. I have almost completely quit snoring. Now she says I only do it when I drink which is once in a blue moon. But when I do drink I can put an... -

My wife would disagree with you. They make stinky gas. I will join in shortly. Been a rough week. Exercise has been the last thing on my mind. I've been to the gym a few times but the workouts have been more of going through the motions than actually getting my heart rate up. -
ODT 7 week fitness challenge
I'm heavier in the PM. Always my least in the am. Motivation is a big help. I find my self losing interest quickly. I've been sick this week which doesn't help at all
