Tales from the Prepper Pantry Barely keeping up with food preservation projects Using up the meat in the black upright freezer to get ready for fall bovines The tomato trick Tomato Picnic Salad, recipe of the week Harvest Right has a new line of freeze driers: https://affiliates.harvestright.com/1095.html Weekly Shopping Report, 7/25/23 I can't find the page where I wrote down prices, in any pocket. Fortunately, I don't think anything in Aldi changed. Our first stop was the recycle center. We skipped Dollar Tree this week, since I had bought an extra energy drink for my trip, and we didn't need anything else there. I ran into Home Depot to check the price of a 2x4x8, and it has indeed dropped quite a bit, to $2.98. It has been months if not years since they were under $3.00. Aldi was last. Looking at last week's staple prices, I don't think anything changed. I did notice definite gaps in the meat coolers. I won't decide anything about that until this weekend though, since we don't normally shop on Tuesdays and this could be when they might have a lull. They also had none of the 70% chocolate I like, but the price tag at its spot had not changed, so I'll just look again this weekend. A gallon of untainted regular gasoline remains at $3.899. Frugality Tip Hey all. Today's frugality tip is a gardening hack. What I use to tie my plants to stakes and trellis is t-shirt yarn. It moves with the plants and prevents you from tying too tight and ruining your plant babies.  Take an old Tshirt, lay it flat, and cut strips. I cut off any bottom folded over seam on the shirt and discard. Then cut all the way across the shirt. Take that strip and cut into pieces 3-4" inches long. Then pull those pieces in both directions and they will spring into stretchy "yarn" like ties.  Double hack, cut a couple of strips off the bottom, then cut the sleeves and neck line off (can use the sleeves to make ties as well) then sew across the bottom of the shirt and you have a stretchy bag you can use for harvesting your veggies, or shopping.  Operation Independence Freedom Cell and Homesteader’s Alliance Meetup in the Holler, Aug 5 Medford Oregon Meetup, Aug 9 Main topic of the Show: Life After #75Hard What are you going to do to keep your gains after #75hard? What’s next? How is it going now that you are not on #75hard? All these questions have been pouring in since I finished my 75Hard challenge and I have stayed pretty quiet about it because I just wasn’t sure. I can tell you that my final ten days were the hardest. My body was struggling with the exercise and I had to push through. My morning motivation was crap. I was doing that thing I do when I have done “most” of a thing and do not feel like finishing.  Which brings me to the lessons learned part of this. Lesson one: finish Lesson two: decide Lesson three: plan Lesson four: prioritize yourself – and just prioritize the important Lesson five: no Lesson six: early starts Lesson seven: You are the story you tell yourself - i finally dropped below my “stuck weight” Lesson eight: making old age easier & knowing what you can do Lesson nine: physical health improves mental health Lesson ten: our food system is jacked up So really. What does life look like after #75hard John willis asked me that and I said I am basically still doing it, just not the water part. He was surprised that was the thing that wrinkles. The delio is sometimes I do not need a gallon, sometimes I need less, sometimes more. Listening to my body seems more important. Building swimming/workouts/dog walks/pilated/fitness as top priority Eating clean Keeping the deadline discipline No Looking at doing 75hard type things on a schedule  Lose another 10-15 Challening myself to swim faster Working with SHTF Fitness on making more strength and function gains Marketing consistency, business development, and a big transition at Holler Roast Social Reminder Follow me on Nostr: npub1u2vu695j5wfnxsxpwpth2jnzwxx5fat7vc63eth07dez9arnrezsdeafsv Mewe Group: https://mewe.com/join/lftn Telegram Group: https://t.me/LFTNGroup Make it a great week!

Today, I am going to talk about being ready for first aid needs on the homestead.

Not needing anything there, we skipped Home Depot; I figured to check the price of a 2x4x8 online, but it's not clear which product I've been viewing; it might be $3.67, but it may have dropped a lot, to $2.98. I'll have to actually go inside next time. The first stop, as usual, was Dollar Tree. No big changes were evident. The shelves all look pretty well stocked, although there is some duplication. Aldi was next and last. We found everything we wanted, which for some reason was a short list this week; perhaps because the garden is producing.  Some staple prices are: Eggs, $1.12; milk: $2.92; heavy cream: $4.69; butter: $3.19; bacon: $3.99; flour: $2.19; sugar (jumped): $3.09.  Hearing of shortages, I expected to see the 70% chocolate I like going up, but it is still $1.99 (I don't think it has ever changed that I remember); and OJ is $3.19 (that's at least a quart, but I need to recheck to be sure; it's a large glass bottle). Untainted regular gasoline remains at $3.899/gallon. Frugality Tip: Nothing in this week Operation Independence Around 8 jars of green beans added for “free” this week  Main topic of the Show: First Aid on the Homestead Why it is important: Often the hospital is far away, things go wrong on the homestead quickly. It becomes up to you to handle things. Chuck People's Class at SRF on Wound Care got me thinking Clean, Covered to protect from dirt, Observe The Zello Message What we did: Pressure, Cleaning, Etc – but the hair Sewing scissors (Have a sharp pair of scissors on hand) Butterfly, steri strips, etc, Good quality clippers Some things to audit: Bandages, supplies, guaze etc Bentadine vs alcohol Stop Bleed, Wound Care, Signs of a concussion, etc Ointments and meds Organization - we moved things around and did not communicate well about it (oops) COMMS Turns out the animal first aid kit was more together for today’s incident than my generalist human one so that got used. What to do to prepare Stop the bleed class Wound care class Learn how to handle snake bites and bee stings gone wrong Learn about dealing with illness and herbal remedies Homesteading can look like all baby goats and garden abundance, but it is a very physical lifestyle. This means that you are exposed to getting hurt, and responsible one it does happen. Membership Plug MeWe reminder Make it a great week! Song: GUYS!
