Scavengers will raid the allotments first. There are four edible weeds within a 4 minute walk. I have 2 (paper) books to identify edibles and water purification drops to clean water from Tinker Brook. PS you may recall a thread a while back where I asked about local springs

Party sounds promising -let's have one in any case...to ward off the inevitable! I know it's your gaff -but I'd warn Babs to lighten up or I'll not endorse his invitation... Luckily I am my Gran-mother's protegé - she was a great survivor and I have picked up many of her war-time tips and instincts too! As to foraging -no probs. do you like rose-hip tea? I can recognise mushrooms too, the poisonous ones could be traded with poisonous folk...  I can also kill and pluck feathered things -the joys of farm living. If you ever fancy a roast heron or such...

Re: Be Careful What You Wish For
Either way, it was not a good time. I also remember, before that time, the idea of locking petrol caps on cars was almost unheard of. During the worst of the petrol shortages the company I worked for was selling them by the hundreds to prevent theives from siphoning the petrol from your car at night.
Margaret's idea of self-sufficiency isn't as half-baked as it sounds. And even in a depression there is always a bob or two to be made.

It's a song my Grand-mother used to sing....it's very optomistic in it's way. You might make it to the party yet -especially if you do a tip-tap routine dressed as a little sailor-boy!

Re: Be Careful What You Wish For
If Mayan prophecy interests you there are some informative lectures on this site
Mayan Majix - Learning Lab (playlist on the left side) Ian X Lungold based his lectures on the research by Dr. Carl Johan Calleman, whose book I have also read. It is not an end of the world doomsday prophecy. Incidentally the Mayan prophecy matches those in the Hindu Yugas

Loath as I am to blow my own trumpet, there's nothing little about this sailor boy.

If Canada isn't feeling the financial heat right now, that means one of two things: either you are already bought and paid for or you are just being kept in reserve.
