Ready Remnant

Chopped a lot of wood....for an old man....been into sprouts for years (vitamin suppliment, and fresh live green food no matter what ).....but didnt know we could make sprout bread My wife has been experimenting with combinations of different sprouts and flour
we have been buying rolled oats at feed store and putting this in buckets to store.........and now Ive just heard from a farmer that I can do this with feed corn also
(didnt know this was even edible ), He said half or more of the 3rd world countries on the globe use it and most dont even have the availability of sweet corn....said it makes gret corn meal....between this and rolled oats 10.00 for 50 # each it makes it quite afordable to put up some food for hard times and stay in budget .

Haven't done much of nothin' this month. I'm going to be unemployed for a couple of weeks so, other financial requirements take priority then, once I'm back at work and caught up I'll get back in the groove with preppin'.

Santa must have known that I wasn't prepared at all so "he" got me a piper gear bob and a radio flyer wagon with wood rise walls and pneumatic tires for the bambino and things that I cannot carry, got my first good chunk of pure silver coins, a little ammo for my rifle (odd caliber so its hard to find) and some handy clothes.

I need to start saving up ammo, because between the two guns that I do own, I probably have 20 shots from my baby desert eagle and maybe 40 from my rifle. Definitely not enough to even smirk about. Money is always tight with me so I am unable to properly prepare

What is the oddball caliber?

[bbj101]

Remmington 222

Its a smaller caliber but I'm dead on with it and used properly can be a good gun.

Yeah, might be a little tough to locate/ Considering getting into reloading maybe?
Anyway, here are some online sources.
