I am a long time prepper who recently found your forum and have been lurking for a bit. I hope to attend one of the meet ups soon.
My grandmother homesteaded in Northern Canada at the turn of the century. She came from a home with all the comforts of the day to build and live in a sod cabin in the north clearing the land and making the wilderness into a productive farm, like so many others. When she reached an age when she could no longer farm she moved to a modern home much closer to town. I was surprised to find her old wood cook stove carefully installed in the basement of her new home. When I asked why she grinned and said, “My dear, things change and we need to be ready if they do”. That was fourty years ago and I guess it shaped my prepping lifestyle. Prepping has allowed me and my family to be comfortable, safe and never hungry whatever life throws my way. I hope I will be able to help some of the new preppers here if needed.
Welcome Amber and greetings from Northern Ontario.
Greetings from the central interior.
I want to die peacefully in my sleep like my grandfather, not screaming in terror like his passengers.
Welcome from Central BC. Always loved those old cook stoves, wish I could find one in good condition at a price I could afford.
The difference between a man and a warrior is simple, a warrior will stand between harm and all others.
Welcome Amber. Nice to have a Pioneer on board. 🙂
Welcome!
When I bought my cabin there was a little cook stove in it. It doesn't have an oven but the top will hold 2+ pots depending on the size. I haven't used it because the wood stove I have lets me cook on top of it. But I was thinking of making an outdoors kitchen to use in the summer and put it in there. They are great to have.
Amber: Your grandmother was an amazing woman!! What wisdom & fortitude............... I'm glad you're wise enough to follow in her steps 😉
I can think outside the box....and then outside the next.....can you??
