Happy Saturday everyone!We celebrated Thanksgiving today so the whole family could be together..all was there but 1 i am afraid..don't have a clue why rita couldn't come..

 but we had a great time as well as cody and cierra were able to be there and john as well ..we were happy to include there would be 3 new ones with us next year God willing...

  ok...on to my blog...i am a firm believer in being able to take care of yourself in most any time and trouble.it just takes a little know how and preparation(when u know it's coming). All it takes to look at tv a few times a week and listen to the news to know that something really bad is fixing to happen to us in this land we call the u.s.a...OK...now i know i just lost a few...BUT ..what if i ,as well as many,many more are right????????? are you prepared ? could you take care of your family for a while??? what if electricity were gone tomorrow?can you keep your family ,or yourself for that matter,warm? would you have any food to eat?do you have a ''safe place'' to go too?would you have food for the babies,kids,elderly????if the answer to any of these are NO,then you may want to think about it anyway....BECAUSE, my friend ,when it happens,if it does,it will be too late to try and do something safe...

The economical future is not looking good at all...ANY OF IT! gas prices rising daily(and no hurricane to blame it on this year),housing market has all but stopped,very little building going on....people are having to offer incentives(freebies) to potential home buyers..GUYS this is not good..you know i'd like to think that all is good in the ole usa,but it isnt..will we fall into a depression like stage? don't know...will we be attacked by our enemies?don't know....all the above..dont know...but i do know that something is about to happen before this is getting better.a lot of people are preparing for a really bad situation..really bad...there are survival retreats going up all over in secluded areas...stock piling food..guys this is scary..and if this happens there are a lot of people who are going to be homeless and foodless very quickly..can you imagine how fast looters will be out? can you imagine how quickly nice people will turn when their family is starving????

  I have hopes that it will not last long,and i hope it is in spring,,at least people can stay warm and find something to eat if you are near rural areas...these areas will be saturated with people trying to do just that...Are you prepared to be able to help anyone???even yourself????i plan to be....and i hope you can too,

 on that note,,over the years i have tried to be frugal and live off the land when ever possible.i do live in a rural area where i grew up..i enjoy the wild fruits and berries in spring ,summer and fall..i enjoy gardening and making them last as long as possible.i enjoy hunting,as a food source,not sport.i have raised livestock for pets and food...i enjoy canned goods,homemade jellies and the like and we have a fireplace that is our main heat supply.in times of hurricanes and ice storms in past it has also been used to cook and light by....

 i have also learned how to make a solar oven(sooo easy ,) and working on a hot water heater..;)  hey if you can save ,,,,SAVE!!!! i also like going green as much a possible helping our inviroment....i will add some of the things that are available online for you ,and then do your own search....would love to have your imput and thoughts on the usa in the near future...AND  please dont write and call names...i assure you i am not crazy....lol...nor do i let this bother me all the time..i trust god...so i know he will help me...BUT god also gave me a brain to use as well...and i do try that as much as possible...be prepared folks,,and then if nothing happens...GREAT! call it a good  experiance and go camping and impress your friends...;)  ....BUT IF IT DOES.....AT LEAST YOU ARE NOT CAUGHT OFFGUARD....

 BELOW I WILL ADD SOME OF THE TEXT AND YOU CAN GO AND READ MORE IF INTERESTED,thanks to all i borrowed from....

Pine needles can be easily brewed into tea which contains many nutrients and vitamins. Pine cones can be roasted over a fire (you did start a fire already, right?) to open the cone and access the seeds inside. In a longer term situation…those same seeds can also be ground into a type of course flour. One can also east the inner bark of Pine trees if nothing else is available. And that's just the common Pine tree, which grows almost everywhere! Speaking of Tree bark: remember that Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) was originally derived from teas made from the inner bark of the Willow tree.
Anyway, you get the point. A little study on the matter can go a long way toward making you self sufficient as far as food is concerned, by enabling you to supplement your dry-stores (you do have food stores, right?) with fresh greens providing vitamins and nutrients year round.

, there are many Americans today who have the means to protect themselves, and yet constantly look to someone or something else to"take care of them". WE MUST TAKE THE INITIATIVE TO PROTECT OURSELVES AND OUR LOVED ONES! ORGANIC STORABLE FOOD IS A VITAL PART OF THAT PROTECTION! The recent series of Hurricanes, Tsunamis, Earthquakes, Floods, and Volcanic Eruptions ARE NATURE'S WAKE UP CALLS! Our Food Supply is being increasingly contaminated.The Government recently warned pregnant women to eat fish sparingly because of the high risk to the unborn of mercury poisoning! Mad Cow Disease is not only a concern in beef. There are reports that Prions have been found in non organic fertilizer which contains bone meal from slaughtered cattle! In addition, we are, at this time in the worst DEBT BUBBLE in our Nation's history. There have been only two massive DEBT BUBBLES in the last 100 years in the U.S.A. The first DEBT BUBBLE is better known as THE GREAT DEPRESSION. The second DEBT BUBBLE is TODAY! The first DEBT BUBBLE resulted in massive Economic Dislocations, Loss of Property, and DISRUPTION OF THE FOOD SUPPLY WITH BREAD LINES AND FOOD SHORTAGES! In many ways, the fundamental ECONOMIC NUMBERS are worse now than they were then! For more information on the current DEBT BUBBLE, call Whitehurst international at 1-888-892-6238. Many people are not yet fully aware of how closely linked the price and supply of FOOD is to the price and supply of OIL. As the price of OIL soars, everything from growing FOOD to transporting FOOD is being affected. The consequences are alarming! For a FREE REPORT on THE COMING OIL/FOOD CRISIS, call Whitehurst International at 1-888-892-6238. That's 1-888-8-XANADU! Ask For George.

Linda Runyon welcomes you to her site! Its purpose is to help you begin to seek your own free life, should you wish to do so. Bear in mind, however, that the process of living and eating free (and deliciously!) does not happen overnight. Linda found this out after years of existence in the Adirondack wilderness. 

   It would be after a time of struggle and hardship, and experimenting with tastes, textures and plant availability, that Linda would become an accomplished and expert preparer of savory edible wild foods, such as tasty malva wraps, crabgrass muffins or pine needle tea.

   Her story as an environmentarian (one who eats from the environment) begins when, as a child of the Adirondack wilderness, Linda discovered that wild clover, yarrow, and wintergreen were really good to eat! As she grew, so grew her knowledge of the abundant wild flora in her beloved mountains.
