    Our grannys and mommas always prepped for the winter and stayed prepared all year long. Mommas gardening and canning kept everybody fed from the garden when we couldn't buy at the stores all of the time.
    I used to think we were poor. I was actually rich in organic
    foods etc. We had well water, fresh produce and
    fruit trees. We weren't as poor as I thought

After running to get more gas he said "I think we need more gas cans filled and ready, just like you been saying forever".

    I used the flex steel paste to fix a leak on the rubber seal of my 15 year old Subaru. (It was dented by a tree limb) I no longer have a wet seat. Hurrah! This stuff does work.

    I didn't do a big garden this year. I have so much put-up from last year and the year before, so I just concentrated on what I needed to fill-in the gaps. It was nice to have a little "me" time this summer. God Bless.

    Being prepared is crucial. I'm like you only I don't have a farm. But canning is my priority. I've got pig fat in the freezer to make lard, but it's a winter time project. Same with dehydrating, I have items ready to do when I have some time to get it going. So you are right spot on. I am proud to say that I have enough meat and veggies canned to keep my family of 3 and plenty of neighbors fed for the entire winter. It's not only important but it makes me feel happy. You keep up the great work. I pray for you every night. You are loved but so many people that you don't even know.

    Love your videos, teaching us so much. I have always canned and put food away. One year I canned over 800 quarts of food. Glad I did, because the next spring I had a stroke and can’t do it anymore. I do make a grocery list for my husband to get and we have extra in our pantry . May not be enough but it’s a good start. Keep up keeping us informed I’m with you on what’s going on in this country and so afraid how it is going to get from now until this election is over. Prayers for you and your family and everyone that needs them.

    Just bought next year’s work gloves. Seems like when you need something, that’s when the store is out because everyone needs the same thing. Summer gloves are cheaper now too because the winter gloves are out.

But everyone mark your calendars: I believe this is being conducted B/C MAUI HAD NONE. Pray it's just a "test" & take c/o each other! ✝️💪⚖️🇺🇸🦅😘😘😘

      Odd that they didn't use the sirens, or the phone alert system in place, tge fire department or the helicopter... winds weren't from the hurricane they were from the diifferent directions the fires were coming ftom...from all 3 sides.

    Hi lovely lady. My name is Jarmin i watch you from Sydney Australia. I was watching one of your videos going back 7 months about having more bibles. You mentioned you had to books of scripture that you read passages and it takes you to a chapter from the bible. Can you possibly tell me if we can buy these im very interested.
    And I want to thank you so much for all your videos. You make a difference, you make us think.
    God bless you for what you are doing. Please keep doing this for as long as you are able. Love you heaps.

    My 4x2 equine fencing is 22 years old and I live in a swamp. We are just now replacing it in sections (as my husband destroys my honeysuckle harvest) and it's still in pretty good shape. It's more so the poles that are deteriorating requiring new fencing.

    I decided that every pay day a few things I am going to buy is Toilet Paper, Papertowels, bag of dog food and treats. the dog food is already starting to become a problem, for the size I need. I am also going to get a few more of the medium metal trashcans. we use those for the dog food and critter food, but am going to store some of my seeds and seed wheat in there . I figure storage will be key for just about everything. oh and laundry soap, and large boxes of baking soda. those seem to be an issue starting up.
