I have just been to Indigo book store and read a few excerts from some homesteading books. I didn't realize how informative and applicable some of these books could be for Urban applications. House building, water managment, backyard gardening, food storage and preparation, bat houses, bee hives, livestock and so much more. There are many applications that an idividual can use NOW to improve ones quality of life. Don't just wait for the day TSHTF.
Cheers all.

BATS are awesome bug munchers, they eat mosquitoes and other blood suckers, just like dogs at a buffet stealing food from the tables.

LOL...seriously ...don't bats just hang upside down from the trees in big bunches? (all climbing over one another to keep warm) No-one builds bat houses for them here!We mostly have parks and gardens staff trying to chase them away because they leave poo everywhere.

oh, and if they bite you you have to have shots in your stomach that are aparently really painful, to stop you from dying. and yes, before reading up i did think i would turn into batman if bitten by a bat. turns out i didn't learn from my earlier mistake when i wanted to be like the hulk and i carried a pound of plutonium around with me for a week. i didn't get hulk like powers....all my hair fell out and i peed blood for a month. (i did however turn a light shade of green, so not all bad)

Carbon04 - So glad to meet a real "bat man" "bat expert" "bat BS artist" - seriously I just looked up bat diseases and there is no way I would have bat houses near my place! They are so scary looking and the disease list just goes on and on and on! Oh and BTW if you get lost in all that snow over in Canada you will be found - green apparently shows up really well on snow!

We often had bats on the farm when I was growing up and they were allowed to stay and thrive as they were very good at keeping the bugs down, I have bats and bat box's set up in the local woods (not on the farm itself) but raither snuck into the local wooded area's just off the pasture fields. I have set up a number of them in a rough sort of ring, this was set up to create a good habit for them and to created a outer ring of bat hunting around the farm/pastures, and then I have my ducks/chickens that do the bug patrol on the farm itself.. I see the odd bat out but not to often.

any particular way to bring them to the farm?
