Also, we finished cleaning out a 40x40 barn on another part of the property. Filled up a 20yard dumpster in about 2 hours. Found a few mice. A skeletonized possum.... a 100 year old set of golf clubs.

In my opinion, everyone should have some silver as a store of wealth and means of barter (in SHTF scenario).
Constitutional or “junk” silver is a great start. That is pre 1965 US coins. Dimes, quarters, half dollars. (this is 90% pure silver). 10%copper to give it hardness to reduce wear.

Silver Eagles are great too.
Other sovereigns such as Maples and Philharmonics are just fine. You can also go with generic rounds and bars. All these are 99.9% pure. So they are soft and will wear easily so not great for carrying around in your pocket with other coins.

If you want to buy silver I have some important suggestions:
1. Only buy from a reputable dealer (I like, SD Bullion, Myles Franklin and Pinehurst coins). Local coin shops that have been around for a while can be great too. So look locally first but otherwise see dealers I listed above. This way you know it’s real and not fake stuff.
2. Do not buy “numismatic” coins. These are graded coins. They sell at large premium prices to just regular stuff. Just buy regular stuff at low premium.
3. Know the spot price of silver before you buy and shop around.
4. Do not buy from individuals (especially from China) on EBay or Walmart. It’s likely gonna be fake silver.
I’ve bought off EBay for years with no issues but I only buy from large established US dealers. Pinehurst is selling tubes of Eagles at a competitive price right now.

I’ve been stacking Ag since 2009 and my father did for decades before that. So if anyone here has questions, please reach out.

Funny for ya'll.... on of the nearby guys reached out to me because he thought his solar wasn't working. He's got an enphase microinverter system.. it's stupid simple... 30 panels and 30 microinverters, each microinverter makes 240v and it back feeds his meter. The monitoring interface screwed up a year ago so he has no idea how much power it's making and recently his light bill has been $500. he's got a big house.

So I went to his house at "solar noon" and put an ammeter on the system, it's making expected power for that time of day. So then I asked him for his power bill to make sure the power compnay is giving him credit for the power he generates and they are. Then I look at February... he only sold 29kwh for the MONTH, but in June it was much better. it's a small system....

So now I'm questioning how much their usage is. He swears he and wife can't use that much power... Now the truth starts sneaking out: she says "he leaves the lights on in his workshop all the time and when he comes in the house he turns on every light and goes to bed". I asked "Is he afraid something's gunna git him in the dark?" She says "I guess he is... I told him if something was gunna git him, I'd wake him up first" LOL. Love a good married couple.

Batterycable chart. Ampacity chart for short cables. NEC lists standard wire sizes assuming 100 ft runs. When you use battery cables to your inverter the run is significantly shorter.

Harvested a year old cow today. About 550 lbs. Neat trick... Cut around the anus and pull large intestine out a few inches. Then zip tie it closed. Same for esophagus on the other end.

"For Tetanus, You Need Rotten Meat. That's How The Tetanus Vaccine Is Made, With Rotten Meat."
Dr Suzanne Humphries

Because Of This, The Vaccine Puts You At Risk For Prion Disease AKA Mad Cow Disease.

Here Are 4 Truths That Everyone Should Know About Tetanus & The 'Vaccine.'

1⃣ Tetanus Toxoid Vaccine Manufacture: Beef Heart Infusion (BHI) is used as a culture medium to grow C. Tetani, the bacterium that produces tetanus toxin. The infusion is prepared by suspending minced beef heart in water & then heated to boiling. The heated putrid environment allows the tetanus toxin to grow.

The tetanus toxin is then treated with formaldehyde to inactivate its pathogenic properties. But some toxoid preparations can still contain undesirable contaminants such as the Prion causing Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy also known as Mad Cow Disease.

2⃣ Tetanus (Clostridium Tetani) Is An Anaerobic Bacterial Spore: It resides in the intestinal tract of ruminant animals & in their feces. If your wound was not in an area where cattle, sheep or horses graze you will not get Tetanus.

Tetanus is an anaerobic bacteria that cannot survive in the presence of oxygen. The bacterial spore dies when it's oxygenated. Blood carries oxygen, so a bleeding wound that is cleaned thoroughly will not have living Tetanus spores.

✳️Tetanus does not live on knives or scissors in your kitchen.

✳️Tetanus does not live on nails you brought home from the hardware store.

✳️Tetanus does not live on the shards of glass that broke in your sink.

✳️Tetanus does not live on the wood splinter that entered your foot in your home.

3⃣ There Is No Single Tetanus Vaccine: The Tetanus vaccine was discontinued in 2012. When a Tetanus vaccine is given, it is actually the TDaP Vaccine, which is Tetanus, Diphtheria & Pertussis. Doctors & Pharmacists do not disclose this fact when they administer a 'Tetanus Shot.'

Those with milk & latex allergies are not given informed consent as to the milk casein & latex used in the production of TDaP. Many cases of fatal anaphylaxis are caused by this.

4⃣ The Tetanus Shot Will Not Help An Active Tetanus Infection: It takes a minimum of 3 weeks & possibly up to 8 weeks to build antibodies from the Tetanus vaccine within TDaP. An active injury & Tetanus infection will not be helped at all by getting vaccinated. It is pointless to get the shot & harmful side effects are well known from TDaP.

Actual Tetanus bacterial infection is rare. In the US there are less than 30 cases annually. And the risk of dying from Tetanus is 1 in 44 million.

The good news is, Tetanus as C. Tetani, is easily treated & eradicated from the body:

*⃣ 1 Gram of Vitamin C (whole acerola complex) per day for 5-7 days kills the Tetanus bacterial spores. As shown in clinical trials as 100% reversal with no fatalities when Vitamin C is used as prevention & treatment for Tetanus bacterial infection.

For any of you that 3D print on a regular basis as I do I strongly suggest you stockpile filament because I have watched the prices of it go up almost 30% in the last month. I print a lot of things for around the house out of convenience. I strongly believe a 3D printer should be part of a preppers kit especially when they're going to stay at home or hunker down one of the plastics that you may want to get accustomed to is petg is readily available it's what most water bottles have made of soda bottles and so forth so in the event you had to actually make your own you would be able to be prepared to use it specifically. P e t g is not supposed to be UV safe however I've printed items that have been outside as long as ASA filament and had zero warpage and zero color change a lot of parts have been out there for over a year. Just a word of advice because there's really not much you can't create when you have all the time in the world because you're not going anywhere.
