A Coleman propane camp stove is essential. Don't buy the small one, get a larger one you can cook a meal on. The smaller ones are just that, SMALL. Propane lanterns with plenty of extra mantles. Then stock up on propane bottles, or you can buy adapters and such to run them from large propane...

Quote: I think its a lower % but they make it their full time job. They refine their technique every day. Some are just stupid kids thinking they're "pranking" someone. Kinda like me and my friends did before caller ID. Sometimes I think this internet thing is a bigger curse than a blessing.

Quote: Tried this. Didn't work. I learned not to put chicks in coop too young. Rats wiped me out and could not get even one near a trap. Box or spring. FINALLY found their burrow and set off a Mole bomb, which is poison gas that infiltrates their tunnels. No more rats since and thats been...

D'Angelo N Va. : Quote: Chicken poop is a food supply. I had to sit in my run and fix my automatic waterer yesterday. The ants were carrying off chunks off poop. No other source of food for them in my run. I left them (chickens) all in the run yesterday and sprayed Bayer insect killer around...

Quote: You beat me to it! Better check your acct. balance. YOU may have bought your card and don't know it.

Quote: On a bouncy roof, unless you nail very close to the rafters, you just have to accept the fact that the first two fingers, on your free hand, are going to take a beating....You rest the nail between your index and middle finger, pads up, and start the nail..It won't take long to learn to...

If you're within a 100 miles of the coast you'd BETTER get your gas tanks topped off, now. If its not already too late. Its amazing how fast gasoline supplies dry up when one of these things is coming. Just because you're not directly affected by weather doesn't mean you'll have gas. Those...

Quote: Then don't complain, (too much) pick yourself up by the bootstraps and get some family counseling. Its only going to work if everyone works. Its tough raising daughters under the best of circumstances, you started out with one arm tied behind your back. Tell her dad he better get...

Only have experience with my German Shepherd. She understands "NO!, MINE". Only took a couple of those to break her interest in them. The biggest challenge was breaking her of chasing when a hen would run. Prey drive, something runs you chase. Unfortunately it cost 2 ducks their lives. Now she...

Quote: Chicken poop is a food supply. I had to sit in my run and fix my automatic waterer yesterday. The ants were carrying off chunks off poop. No other source of food for them in my run. I left them (chickens) all in the run yesterday and sprayed Bayer insect killer around the perimeter of...

Quote: Probably not. The only thing that has kept them away for me is crows. Even Mockingbirds help if there are enough of them to mob a hawk.

Quote: My 30 year old daughter went to meet her kids getting off the bus. The driver informed her she needed to tell her mom that her little brother had been bad on the bus. She came in fuming. Til she thought about it. Forgot all about grandsons behavior.

Sounds like a difficult situation. Stay strong and when things get tough, or rather when she has her "moments", remember she is the only mom you have. And it REALLY sucks not having one, no matter how difficult she may become. Even after 12 years I still catch myself reaching for the phone to...

Fox or coyote. They'll take a bird and leave no trace. And they'll be back for more.

Quote: If you want a dead septic system put chemicals in it. A septic tank is a live organism digesting the solids and leeching them out through the drain field (leech field). Put any kind of caustic chemicals down a drain and you'll kill your system. I would never plant on my drain field...

Quote: 30-06 was MOST effective. Don't have a wounded animal running home to die on someones porch. Not much left to bury either. I used to shoot them with a .22 using hollowpoints. They NEVER drop dead. Always ran off to die if I could'nt get a couple more rounds off quickly. If the cat...

But you'll also let any weeds go to seed too.

After living thru a couple major storms DW and I have learned a few things. First DON'T stock you freezers. When the power goes out, if you don't have a generator, everything starts thawing. We tried giving food away, not just hamburger, but steaks etc, no one wanted it, they all had freezers...

...comfortable with that firearm! Someone who doesn't know what they're doing with a weapon can be a danger to themselves and others. THEN SSS that $*(#%#$ dog. I've found its easier to do if I have a hole about 3ft deep somewhere on my place to dump the carcass. Then its only SDS. (shoot...

It does depend on the cat. I've lost over 30 to cats. All but one was killed for sport. They are now fertilizing some new trees.
