what did you do this week to prepare

**Jendeere** · 09-26-2010, 08:04 PM

I hope you are able to find some, please let us know if your Walmart carries it. Its hard white wheat in square buckets, if that helps any.

Took you tip, thanks!) and checked ou the local Wally world, this morning.
Didn't find the buckets, but did find a #25 bag for like $12 bucks.

I get there and they had both Hard White Spring Wheat, and Hard Red Spring Wheat.
So as I didn't pay too much attention to "Type" (sorry), I got the Hard White.

Whats the difference?

Can you tell I don't know squat about wheat?
Now the good news, I did pick up a grinder awhile back, and on my list of winter projects is making my own flour and bread from it.

Thanks, Rick, seems I did something right, but I thinking it wouldn't make too much difference?

Anyway I added site to favorites, and will continue my making preps for this new skill.

The only thing that I've really done this week is to break out my bow and practice with it. Bow deer season opens here tomorrow and runs until Feb. 28. Closer to muzzleloader and gun season, I'll be getting the guns ready. Last week I loaded some .303 British and 7.62x54R.

I've been do some gun trading. I've gotten rid of 3 and picked up one so I'm almost cured, not completely but getting better, still can't go to gunstores, that's how I wound up with the one I got. I've been trading guns for military surplus gear. Some of the things I like the best I have gotten is British web gear, a large DPM nylon tarp, a Gortex Bivy bag and a antique canteen. This stuff is going to keep me busy a while testing and integrating it into my system. One trade I really enjoyed Me and the other guy just went through our stuff and pulled out excess and stuff we did not need, put it in a pile and then just blindly traded piles. We both walked away happy.

Planted some late season sweet corn in my garden and am starting to harvest a bit of it. AHH! Nothing better than home grown, organic sweet corn!

Cut a little wood. Now I've got to split it.

But you...uh....live in Florida. Are you making sawdust?

**Winnie** · 10-03-2010, 04:56 AM

Put up some more canned tomato sauce. Crash has reminded me to order another cord of logs!
Oh, I think he's making woodchips, Rick. (But judging by the colour of the ones already there, I'm beginning to wonder if he's not hiding a crime or two

)

I picked up a SKS and Camoed my Stainless steel M77.

I got my own axe!!

**Sourdough** · 10-03-2010, 01:42 PM

Bought 48 pounds of "Sailor Boy" Pilot Bread Biscuts.

**Batch** · 10-03-2010, 05:15 PM

I put up the Hennesee and another hammock I have. Then I got the grand-daughter and we practiced survival sitting, survival napping and survival swinging.

Tough work, I know. But, I want to be prepared... Guests can not see images in the messages. Please register in the forum.

Crash, don't split those big "rounds",yet!
Those are perfect "hawk logs", for throwing hawks.
Just need a tripod.
When done they will already be split.

With his Poppa's and Mama's permission, my 12 yo grandson gets his Heritage Arms 22lr/22mag convertible Rough Rider next week for his belated birthday surprise. Cheap, pretty good starter handgun. He already successfully hunts around the farm with a 20 gauge single shot Rossi.

I'm going to leave them in tact for now. I'll probably slice them a little thinner. Right now they weigh over 100 lbs each.
