Preparing for Uncertainty and Self Reliance

What you need to do is move

Everything was goin along fine. I was planning on planting tomatoes and you had to go and research how to survive a nuclear blast. I blame you for this

LOL Smitty started it. I always assumed we were all dead within minutes.

Turns out we all die of bone cancer years later.

not even that

like Chernobyl, the radiation gets absorbed quickly by the earth

the impact crater itself will be hot for 10,000 years

but that's not even a kilometer in radius

after a few months, just like Fukushima, most of the fallout will be absorbed by the ocean

it will run down the rivers to the ocean, just like everything else

the impact crater for a 1 megaton bomb is like 300 yards

so you're talking three football fields

that will be hot

but you would just bulldoze it into a concrete sarcophagus

just like Chernobyl, that spot will be hot

but just across the road, you are fine

I don’t know man. I’ve been seeing a lot of stuff saying that the soil in surrounding areas is contaminated for decades. Bone cancer by tomato.

I was born to die anyways

rejoice at the coming of the angel of death

for that is Christ come to take you home

Most of the people who died at Chernobyl didn't die because of direct exposure.
They died by eating contaminated food.

Death by Tomato indeed.

Cleaned and butchered my 2nd pig last night. Total time was cut in half from the first one. Tom texted me at around 5:30 pm, I was just rolling up work for the day, to ask if I wanted it otherwise he was just going to bury it. "On my way!" was my response. Not too much drama with this one, He had shot her in the head with .357 and drug her over to the butchering spot with his truck. By the time I had gotten there, He had shot another 150#+ male. Take as much as you want, he says. Umm yeah, 1 pig is plenty for the freezer space that I got and only about an hour of daylight left.

Skinning is the easy part and can basically be done in low light but the butchering... more light please. I didn't get the more intricate cuts of meat this time like the backstraps. I ended up just taking off the front shoulders, running the sawzall down either side of the spine and separating the ribs from the hams. Tossed all that in a cooler with some ice and am going to deal with it later this morning.

Meanwhile, Tom ended up just cutting the boar up in large pieces and dragging them out in tall grass field. I told him that this was the part that they don't teach you in serial killer school. He was having a bit of a rough go with it and had to keep cutting it up in smaller more manageable chunks. I was just glad to have my own thing to focus on instead of his blood bath over there in the dark.

Cooler full of clean pig ? Check!

Why is this guy dumping pigs? Is his freezer full already?

Congrats on the free meat. Now you need a smoker for the bacon.
