Baggywrinkle

We are nowhere near ready.

Our thrust is continuing on without electricity, or fuel of any kind.

We were on a four year time table, cut short by three
years. When we became aware that it was happening
NOW rather than later we started cherry picking through
our list to get as ready as we can be with what we already
have put in place. But that only goes so far. We have wood
but no wood stove. When the propane and kerosene is
gone we'll be cooking using fire pit and dutch oven and going to bed with the sun...

We've got seeds and hand tools but no draught animals,
nor do we have the means to feed them if we had them.
Our raised bed gardens are not in. It would be daunting
to subsistence garden in this rocky soil. A gasoline
roto tiller is no match. It needs a backhoe. There is
a reason this particular patch of ground was never
tilled. The old farmers were very wise.

We can make do for several years without electric power
or fuel of any kind with what we have on hand. This will
buy time to come up with other solutions. Without other
solutions it starts to look pretty bleak in the long term.

It all depends on how bad and how soon the cards are
dealt to us. We are flexible and able to adapt. We just
need a bit of wiggle room to make it happen.
