James,
Thanks for SurvivalBlog. They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks, but
this old dog learned the following new tricks from the SurvivalBlog articles
and letters.
1. I got fired up after reading the "commo comments" and
finally got my Ham radio license.
2. I bought a number of galvanized trash cans and that's where I now store
shelled corn, etc. (Hint! Don't buy the made-in-China-from-tinfoil cans.
[Instead,] get the good ones which are made right here at home.)
3. As a coffee drinker, I now stockpile green coffee beans, which I vacuum
pack and store in those galvanized trash cans.)
I could go on, but just those three items more than justify my dime-a-day
contribution.
I still live a stone's throw from the Yellowstone caldera, but I've also learned that we can't eliminate all risks. Some we just have to live with. Stay warm, - Dutch in Wyoming
