As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.
The Lame Cherry desires to teach you something.
Meet you on the other side.
Last but not least, her presentation focused me on water. Water. And more Water. It’s the hardest thing to do in many ways because water is such a critical immediate need and the quantities needed are more than most of us have handy. So water solutions are something I’m definitely focused on:
“It’s easy to buy 30-days worth of food. That’s easy. It’s the water that really worries me.”
Better late than never, Bloomberg News ran a post today The Preppers Were Right All Along:
It would behoove you children and you brats with your computers and printers to take a series of Google Earth photos of your location. I would mark out probably 20 miles. You are going to put this into a folder with Blue Check Marks on it. This blue check is going to mean life for death.
This will require some doing, but what I would suggest you to do, is to mark every spring, and well in your vicinity. If you plan on traveling, you probably should mark water that is definite every 20 miles.
I have watched my asstard neighbor plug his wells. That damn fool had 3 of the best wells there were and now they are gone.
Wells though are not springs and springs are your gold. I have no such spring on the property we reside, ,but there is something I have never mentioned and why I am so covetousness of the property my family had and I either have rights to or am the squatter. I have kept beef so as to not starve and those two pieces of land have several of the few springs which NEVER go dry, not even in 1930's dust bowl kind of droughts.
I may not want to walk 20 miles for a drink of water, but by God I have a trailer and means to get that 20 miles, to set up surroundings in that location. I can sure as hell carry water a half mile round trip on my Grandpas if I lodge there.
I know where the springs are, small and large. The rich people will be drinking lake water, but I know where the water is and I am not going to be boiling crick water, filled with fish shit, beaver shit and people piss to get a drink.
My blue check marks are in my head. I know where the water runs when it is wet. I know which springs open up when fall comes. I am fortunate in I sort of live in a spring area. There are areas where there is not water coming out of the ground for 100 square miles.
While I do not have the funds for such extras, when I do, I fully intend to get a post hold digger. I am not talking about pounding in well spikes, but just augering in test holes of around 15 feet to see what gets what. I would then sink in a plastic pipe with holes in it, and screen mesh with gravel at the bottom and that is called water when it fills.
This place had several old hand dug wells around the house. Most did. Most were shallow and went dry or collapsed. You aren't going to water 100 cows on water like that, but it will get your mouth wet and get you enough water for a bath, even if they say it is shallow and not fit to drink. Never heard anyone complain about wet water.
Get yourself some charcoal and gauze like a fish tank filter and you got something called water, that if you ain't been spraying for bugs or weeds like a damned fool, you have water that you don't have to endanger yourself to get at.
Douse for your well and you will do better.
OK that is your lifesaving knowledge, better than million dollar knowledge found here. You do this and you will not be shitting like a goose or a Mexican from drinking Beaver Fever water with them critters in it.
Until you been thirsty enough to drink standing water in rocks that deer been licking in, you have not been thirsty. Just remember to not get that kind of thirst. That is what the blue check map is for.
Nuff Said
