Went for a small but productive meet with a few fellow Preppers. I have kept reading on this forum. Shopping trip at Cabelas 🙂
Garden coming along nicely and slowly started harvesting some good stuff. Had fun doing some "target shooting" with a slingshot; it was rather hurling at first, but I rapidly improved and can now hit the kitty on the empty box of litter (no plan to hunt cats I swear!) set in the backyard.
I am going to read this entire thread, so many good ideas, things like labeling the gas containers, only some of mine are labeled. This week I was gifted with 3 young muscovey ducks and some large golf course netting. I am not sure how I will use the netting but I am certain it will be a great asset to cover fruit bushes , or ?
25 pounds of dehydrated bananas done in pineapple juice so taste like candy

Built a wood shelter to replace the tempo we had been using...it should hold about 8 cord (runs) of wood, which is about what we use each year.
Planted fall crop of peas today and looked up Farmgals mock pinneapple recipe to take care of a few of those summer squash we just couldn't keep up with.
More research on dehydrating as we get closer to ordering a 9 tray Excalibur.
Packed up 2 x 3 day doggy pails with food, bowls, chains and treats.
Got a new CB for the car from the flea market.
might...just might be picking up a 10 meter ham rig off Craig's List.
Got a 5 gallon bucket of sugar and yeast fermenting for a fuel experiment.

Mary Bell's Complete dehydrator Cookbook something that I would recommend as well
I live in the city and don't really have much place to store my canning (at least not to keep it cool without air conditioning). I have a little room behind the downstairs clothes closet under the stairs - like a secret room (which is always cool in the summer) even on those really muggy days. So I built some shelves and put in a light source and closed it off (right now just with heavy curtains - but I plan to put doors on it). It might not sound like much to the more experienced, but I am pretty proud of myself.
Plus I canned 6 L of Chicken soup, and 5 L of spaghetti meat sauce.

Replaced all the Water and other items we used during recent evacuation and extended power outage here in the area.

That's kind of very old fashioned isn't it? Too bad they don't also offer online exams at the end of the course.
Canned:
Cherries, Cherry Pie Filling, Chilli, Stew, Cabbage, Potatoes, Mushrooms

Yup, very oldschool, but I assume Industry Canada still needs to see a paper exam. Also, an online exam would be easy to cheat on.
just finished a batch of strawberry & banana fruit leather "cookies"
