What is your Achilles heel?

Good point Kell. That being said, I have to say that all my previous posts are from my evil twin in Maine. I just took over this member ID from him tonight. I am new to this thing called prepping and have a lot to learn. Do not have any food, supplies or weapons stored yet, but hoping to pick up a 22 rifle late next year, lol.

 

@Mindgrinder Our St. John's Wort is thriving here, it's not great soil and it is no surprise if it gets to 30below(Farenheit) in the winter, and I don't protect it at all, the 2nd year it put out 2 babies.

I would say health is ours, we basically can't bug out on our own. Doesn't mean we're helpless though, it means defending this place is an even higher priority. Do NOT think you can come to our place without an invite unless you have a death wish or a warrant.

 

I think mine would have to be just old age. Knowledge and skills just can't always replace strength and stamina. Although I won't need as much artificial light since I'm usually ready for bed shortly after sundown these days.

 

How aboot dental for you old timers?
*grumble* - I really should go get the work I need done while I still have 100% coverage.
*grumble* - hate dentists.

 

I hear they hate you too....

 

Plastic MG, plastic.Corn on the cob,ice,apples, ribs bone and all no problem. Super glue and JB Weld and they are good as new if you could break them.

 

Mine is information. I never really knew how lacking local radio news can be during a crisis until thats the only source of info I have. My city was dark for 11 days during the 2011 tornadoes, I learned alot about needing local info. I managed just fine but I used alot of fuel and other items that I would not have used had I been able to know the status of local services. I think HAM might be something I would like to look into.

Its funny now but at the time when I was boiling water in my backyard for oatmeal I would have liked to know that 2 miles away was one of the only restaurants with a generator and hot food. I never knew that until it was all over.

 

Hey Tempo welcome to the Tree. Look around here. We have many branches with Monkey hams sitting there. About every thing from beginner to advanced ham info to be had here. Again welcome.

 

And don't forget the 5 foot of snow and the pack of rabid dogs.

 

barefoot while carrying your brother.....

Fixing a rare treat, bacon wrapped scallops.

LOL, the only problem is that in elementary school, my youngest daughter DID walk uphill both ways. There was a deep valley between our hill top home and the school.

 

Type 1 diabetic. I basically starve to death without insulin. Joy oh joy.
