He's gone quite far in building his space very economically, and i hope he's got his crib set up with reliable stove etc. I feel a kinship with him as well, and would support him in his neighborhood if there. I muse sometimes how i would fare if i were in a similar situation, and fairly remote, with a knee or back injury, or a wound i could not treat myself adequately. Hence, i continue to work on the community scenario large enough to easily accommodate such situations. Only a decade ago, i thought i would do this alone, but it's too risky now. Hope there's still a choice.
Wishing you the best, Peppercorn!!

I don’t know peppercorn personally (we live at different ends of the country), but enjoy reading his posts. Anyone within the community having a difficult time has my support even if only in my thoughts. I hope things level out and that you are back to your old self soon.

Having never met him either I will say that he is part of this community and I extend my best wishes, and hope he can overcome the ailment.

I'm guessing that if he can he will beat it off with a stick and grind it into submission and eventually total defeat!

Charge On Peppercorn!!

Since Laughter IS the best medicine...

In the future when those who have prepared are in a location and concerned with security, there may come a time when someone tries to breach your security.
It is important to keep your wits about you and allow cooler heads to prevail, while not giving in to something you don't stand for.
Remember as in the picture, not all issues are black and white.

If there is someone in your group or circle of friends who can pass on some hand to hand self defense tactics it would be beneficial to ask them for this help. If not paying a professional for training is well worth the price.

Physical and mental preparation is as important as any other. It is important now, but after SHTF it will show it'self quickly who was ready and who was not.

Hope you had some giggles Peppercorn.

Best wishes for you to overcome your medical issues Peppercorn.

All I can offer from half way across the country is moral support...but I offer as much of that as I have!
Here's thinkin' about you Peppercorn!
