LOL, he wants to get goats to do that, but I don't really want them on top of my house or chewing up my baby trees! Nope, gotta master the chicken schedules this year, then we can move on. I don't even dare to ask for other animals right now! He lets me have chickens and let that grow, cause I told him it was either that or I have another baby. He said "hatch away, I love chickens!"
This is why I love this site.
My dad thinks that he can store enough food to survive. I am over here learning how to raise and butcher meat birds, grow a garden, cook with only what is available while he keeps storing food like a packrat. Granted, he gets most of it for free. My husband works at a manufacturer of backpacking and survival food. Whenever there is a damaged bag (like when some nut runs into a pallet with a forklift) they overorder, etc. he takes it home and my dad stores it. Works out great for us. We store nothing but have a place to go to regroup when things go down, and then we can move on and start living off of our land, as soon as we buy some. Next year! My dad genuinly hopes there is a zombie invasion. He wants to shoot one so bad

I wish I lived that far out of town. I hate TV, and I think if he was honest with himself my DH would admit he does too. But it tends to consume us on the weekday evenings after exhausting days of work. We get nothing done until the weekend! Unfortunately, right when we bought this farmhouse, the local electric coop that we were going to be belonging to were putting fiber optic internet lines through our valley and we ended up with awesome high speed internet for just $50 a month. Not many around here get that option. My mom over the holler would have to have them put in lines to her house, same company, bet it would cost a fortune.
Addicted and can't stop.
No, I don't think I could stab them with a knife either, but when you can shoot them at 15 yards with an AR-15, no need to get that close!
