All caught up. Happy Friday, everyone! Was just up at the farm talking with my dad. He's been throwing stuff away, which is good and bad. Good, because there's a couple generations worth of stuff up there, but bad because he tosses stuff I would use, like old chicken wire and old blankets. Why doesn't he toss the 20 years of phone records that my gran religiously kept? My mom was kind of a prepper before it was popular. She's got plastic garbage cans full of stuff that I didn't know was there and dad never looked. There's some good stuff, like lanterns, water filters, matches and candles, but what do you do with bags of dry pinto beans from 1998? I did find an old zippered dog bed cover and some old blankets to stuff inside. Scooter needs a new bed!
you could soak all the dried beans and then feed to your chickens. Honestly if there are now bugs and they were sealed properly I would see nothing wrong in using them personally.
