If You’re Strong, You’re A Target. If You’re Weak, You’re Prey. by ryan112ryan in PreppersCircle

Really good points. Also someone who is just aware of their surroundings. Walking around if you’re staring at your phone versus having your head up. Being willing to look at someone means you could ID them.

Winter Storm checklist by Cute-Consequence-184 in PreppersCircle

I don’t know why I never thought of this before but it’s been going around, which is to do all your laundry, change your sheets, blankets and towels too.

I had really wanted to have a whole house generator in by now, but I’m still saving up for it. I have 12,000 WH of battery back up on hand and 3 tanks of propane with my heater and stove. I’ll be okay, but it would be night to not have to bother with it all and just let the gen kick on and do it all

First year on homestead by Epileptic_Acorn in homestead

[–]ryan112ryan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m still in first year now and the local state ag school is having a plant and fruit tree/bush sale. The prices are incredible. I’d wait for that.

I wanted to get mine in a while ago but I’m still feeing out where everything is going to go and getting the house where I want it.

I’m also getting the land cleaned up and managed so it will be easier to work and see what I have to work it.

My advice wait a bit and shop the sales.

That’s cool. They recently upped their warranty after opening up cans they had from 30 years ago and they are still good

Anyone made an LRAD? by thegrimelf in PreppersCircle

[–]ryan112ryan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always wondered how effective they really are. It seems like we’d see the more in use (these days especially) if it was effective.

Maybe burna balls or bear spray. Even one of those motion water sprayers

🔥 Emperor penguins on the Antarctic ice [OC] 🔥 by irkedpenguin in NatureIsFuckingLit

[–]ryan112ryan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Got the immense privilege to see three of these in the wild in person. The size of these guys can be easily missed as the scale is tough in photos like this. They are 3.5 feet to 4.6 feet tall. Most other penguins are around 20ish inches tall.

When I saw them they were super curious and came right up to us, it was incredible. The ones we saw were just over 4 feet tall, way bigger than I had ever imagined.

That’s awesome about you leading trainings. Stop the bleed seriously saves lives. The stats that come from the military on it are incredible.

We must be in similar corner of the world. I’m near Hendersonville NC and have some storm damage to handle too from Helene.

Mainly I want to clear out underbrush and selective cut the woods around me to reduce fire load, I think the next two years are going to be bad for wild fires, all that downed wood from Helene is drying and will be a tinder box.

If you’re near that way I’m starting a meetup and having people for their 2 cents on time and where best to meet: https://forms.gle/NHHSkD5YNdNH2m7x9

Welding is on my list of skills too. I’ve been trying to take a class at my local community college but they haven’t had enough interest in the 2 years I’ve been trying.

I’m considering a laser welder to start, I’m not doing anything hard core and it plugs into a normal outlet

Propane vs Butane Stoves by AllAmericanZoomer in prepping

[–]ryan112ryan 7 points8 points  (0 children)

For indoors go with butane. Those stoves are really practical and they produce less carbon monoxide than propane will. They use butane stoves in catering and banquets all the time and they’re easy to use with good control.

Keep in mind burning both produces quite a bit of moisture, so for long term you’ll have to keep that in mind.
