Hello hello my friend!
I completely agree. I was initially concerned for the food supply chain when this all first started... and then read a lot of reports about how stores had huge warehouses full of supplies I wasn't as worried... but now that other countries like New Zealand and Australia have managed to contain the virus and comparatively the US has done quite a lot wrong, I'm really worried about our food security in the upcoming year.
We planted an orchard of 10 trees a couple of years ago.. the trees are still establishing themselves so we may not get a lot of fruit this year but should next year. We've got a planter box full of berries, but really need to get onto another couple of planter boxes for veggies this weekend.
I've actually gone vegan to try and get a handle on some inflammation issues I'm having, so I'm kind of glad for that now. You should definitely get a Tesla battery if you can afford it. You don't need to be off the grid to be self-sufficient.
Honestly, everything is unknown at this point, I see absolutely no problem in preparing for the worst... if everything turns out to be completely fine, what's the damage? A well stocked pantry and fresh veggies. I'm so sorry about your chickens, little lonely looks so cute.
Hey friend!
Yeah, I would always rather be over prepared for sure!
The day of the chicken attack was so brutal. I am just glad my littles didn't have to see it. They loved those chickens! So did I!! It is a very uncertain time out there. Everything here is so discombobulated, and I really fear a second, more deadly wave is coming with this virus, and I am not sure any amount of preparation, notwithstanding closing everything indefinitely would have stopped it.
It is weird though because while I feel like everything is on fire around me, I actually have a lot of faith in crypto and feel like that part of my life is on the up and up. I suppose those things are not mutually exclusive. Perhaps it is the uncertainty of everything and the US dumping trillions of funny money in the economy, rendering the dollar worthless, that is making crypto rise. Either way, at least some good news!
It's good to talk with you! It seems like forever! :) Glad to know you are well!
