Possums do NOT attack!!! They are very passive. If they are terrified they will roll over and play dead or start shaking. They do not attack!!
you have any ready preps to move and cache your more portable tools? - have materials for sweeping the tool bench(s) of the critical hand tools - protect them against the elements & camo them in their cache spot >>>> better than let them burn or be looted
There are actually some very nice, partially trained burros up for auction on the BLM wild horse and burro site. They're trained by the inmates at the correctional center in WY.
If a golf cart is EMP proof, would the same not apply to a standard lawn tractor?Each of us preps for our own situation. I recently spoke about having a go-kart. It's EMP proof, will go just about anywhere, including off road, and being as small as it is, it's a difficult target. Another item is a magnifying glass. Useful for starting fires, never runs out of fuel and if it gets wet you just wipe it off. But as I said we all prep for our own AO. So how about it? What are some of your preps that just seem to be a little out of place, but practical at the same time.

I don't require erasers on my pencils because those are needed only if you make mistakes.For those of you who are stocked up on regular lead pencils.....I've found that over time the erasers on them harden and are worthless.
Glad you mentioned this. I throw away the large plastic feed bags for the duks. Will save a few now. Didn't think of it., but the old neighbor next door used to fill them up with trash and burn the whole thing.

They sure as hell attack chickens, bite their heads off and leave the bodies, they are vicious, you may have had a different experience but we kill them at every opportunity, nasty animals with very sharp teeth. One day DH found 18 baby chickens with their heads bitten off.Oh no! Possums are Pacifists by nature. They don't hurt anything. They are just scavengers. They only live 1-2 yrs in the wild and same as domestic. I had a female living in my barn for two yrs and she just died a couple months ago. I fed her dry cat food, hot dogs, grapes and bananas, and hard boiled eggs. She was my pet. I buried her in the pen. Possums do NOT attack!!! This is disimformation. They are very docile. They are terrified of people. They run and hide or play dead becuz they are so scared. They do not "attack"!!

Not precisely true. Sometimes erasers are needed to make changes or revisions, which are not mistakes!I don't require erasers on my pencils because those are needed only if you make mistakes.
One can never have too many pairs of scissors, or different types of scissors, or pliers, hammers, etc.
Ordered a scaler dental tool kit.
since we dont have access to novacaine and the like, thought of socking away some 190 proof for whoever needs serious teeth work done. (i do not drink)
I have shot 30-06 from WWII on enbloc clips. Worked just fine. If kept in a cool / dry location, ammo will last a loooong time.just a quick note to let you know ..... i have some ammo from ww2..... 1943 I wanna say yugoslavia in 8mm..... it IS the hottest meanest and nastiest shit I have ever shot in 8mm.......got another 100 rounds........they knew what they were doing.......
Guitar strings would be much easier to acquire !! Just make a handle on each end.They'd make good rabbit snares...especially the ball end ones with the loop.
I thought it was piano wire for the ...errr...other thing...?
I do the same. Keep dog food & cat food bags, for the same reasons. Have not used yet, but with our critters, the supply is growing. DW does not like them, but I keep them consolidated & out of the wayFeed Bags. I save them all. Chicken, dog, cow, it don't matter. Now days they all come in water proof woven plastic. Just used two of them cut open to help keep some lumber dry from the coming storm. They would make excellent sand bag material. Don't put to much dirt in them but stack them high as needed. Block doorways is another use. Also make for water proof storage of clothes and other such material if you have to bug out. Just a strange item to have collected over the years but I constantly find uses for them.
Also need good storage space, and a system so you can find everything !!Pretty much any kind of 'stuff'. Better to have it and not need it. A lot depends on how many you expect to have visiting.

I have say some ammo I have ( 20+ years old) and reloading supplies and next jars of honey and 3 pounds cans of coffee in that order with age.
Some of the honey has crystalized but that's not a problem the jars just needs to be warmed up in hot water long enough to make it liquid again and makes good candy when crystalized.

I grow a few 100's of turnips every year and yet I have only eaten one.
Ate it and thought - it's sort of ok but might be good if I'm hungry.
Wife thinks I'm crazy - how do I argue against that?
Well, remember that scene in "Gone with the Wind"...Naighbors grow over 20 acres in two different varieties of turnips, red ones and white ones, just for the wildlife.
Wash and slice your turnips as you do when you pan fry potatoes. Season likewise.I grow a few 100's of turnips every year and yet I have only eaten one.
