Sharpening a saw chain is easy. There should be marks on each tooth to use as a guide. On my large falling saws I used skip tooth chains, they have half the teeth, so half the time to sharpen. Only problem is they tend to kick back a little more. Not sure if they're available on the smaller chains.
I love to find SnapOn and Craftsman tools at flea markets!!!
Got some oxygen absorbers to start long term dry goods supply. Getting going on a back yard garden I hope sets up well this year, and booms the next! Lots of chip, bark, and ash. Looking to source fresh manure of any type. Trying to make local sourcing and trading connections with out Facebook. Pretty email dependent atm. tips welcome! [email protected]
If you can find it, or raise your own, you can put rabbit manure directly on your garden. Everytime we clean out the coop we put it directly around the fruit trees and the berry plants. Its mostly pine shavings. When I clean the cow manure out of the corral I dump it in a pile in the garden and eventually till it in. I personally don't like using horse manure because they pass grass and weed seeds through their system.
horse manure is pretty much all you can get around here, oh and chicken manure.
The inflation argument seems to be pretty effective at getting people to buy supplies now.
It can, but the reverse osmosis filters needed are very expensive.
If you want something a lot cheaper get a shock collar with a hand held remote on it. There aren’t many dogs that don’t improve their manners really quickly with them. Tractor supply or Amazon has them.
Reverse osmosis will do it too.
I have one Brent. I've used the vibrate mode on Leon but it didn't work. Turn the shock on 2 and put it on me and I almost peed my pants. I've been afraid to try it on him.
Maybe I got come up your way. Last time I was possibly close was picking my dog up in McCall a few years ago. Last time I went to OR, things were dismal for my shopping needs. 5.89 for diesel for me here.
I have to remind myself of this constantly. It's easy to get disheartened reading about the preps and knowledge some of you have. Some members attitudes are a bit overwhelming at times but I know they mean well.
oh well.

Money (and kids) are my biggest restrictions. There're Kiwi DINKs with incomes 7x mine complaining they don't have a "comfortable" life
This week I...
• did a bulk food shop adding a couple hundred kilos to the stockpile. Trying to keep everything in balance so it can be made into edible meals. Balancing calories, nutrition, flavor
• started working on a food and medicine garden
• pre-ordered some dwarf fruit trees
• stocked up on medical supplies
• ordered some more how to books
• updated the go bags
• updated my list; have done/need to do, and have/need to get. Helps me focus on progress and stay on track
Things are going downhill fast here in NZ. It's going to be an interesting year (or few) to put it politely.
