Preparing for Uncertainty and Self Reliance

I have seen some small handheld scythes at the hardware store. I'll try that, if the clippers can't do it.

It's called a sickle, don't forget to buy a hammer at the same time comrade.

I have a hammer! Dammit, I guess I am a Commie.

It's called an engineering hammer and I will give you five MHF bucks if you post a selfie with it along with the sickle.

lol: That's a pretty good idea, but then I'd have to pick it all up piece by piece.

That was the traditional technique, small bundles of wheat tied with a few stalks of wheat, called shocks. You probably know that.

I do. I'm hoping to avoid the whole waste and effort of picking it up, if I can just grab a big handful and cut.

Dude, you really don't want to harvest a field of wheat with clippers.

Like these.



Again, it's not that huge. Probably 1/8 of a house lot.

It will take a long time, man.

I would just buy a scythe and lock that thing up until next harvest.

Yeah, you are thinking it through, though.

Or just donate the fucking thing when he is done harvesting if he is so scared about it.

Is this what it's like to be a gun grabber?

WTF, when was this about guns and when did I ever mentioned about guns? He is talking about not buying a scythe because he is afraid of hurting his young kids with it. I mean any reasonable parent would be worrying about hurting their kids with the shit they use. Although, his other options don't look good either. Personally, I would think that the idea of him using a weed wacker would be better for him (I don't have children but he has like 3-5 of them running around) but still, either way, it's going to be manual labor.
