In a pig pen with flip-flops? Youre a brave soul. (fyi I know nothing about pigs and probably havent been within 10 miles of a pig pen)

The pen is new, so flip flops are OK at the moment. 2 months from now? Probably not

Uh-oh!
From Hawaii after the fires -
"Another Lahaina resident, Barrett Procell lost his home to the fire. He and his wife are now homeless and only wearing donated clothes. Procell wants people to know looters right now are not the enemies. They are in survival mode."
“When your children and are here starving after almost burning to death and the police won’t let people drive in to give you necessities, you may turn to desperate measures. It is unfortunate people are turning to looting right now, but it’s about helping them and not villainizing them,” said Procell."
"Right now, most people do not have cash or access to accounts which may be contributing to this crime."

No looting reports made to Maui Police but Lahaina residents say the crime is happening
On top of trying to find shelter and food from the deadly fire, some Maui residents have run into another problem, looters.Some told KITV4 many on West Maui are robbed

Built a roof for the feed bins. Only buying in bulk now.
Also repainted the pipe for the woodstove after John Kadlik built our new pad and wall. If you're in SW NH Kadlik is one of the best construction guys around.

Nice job with bacon! The smoke on that is amazing! It is on our list of to do's. Once a year we get a pork belly and make a pile of that stuff.

Butchered two more pigs today with the mobile butcher. Conveniently also buying his three breeding pigs (1 boar, 2 sow) because he's moving closer to us. Nothing beats hands on experience.

Spent all weekend clearing and putting up 250ft of hog fence. Shout out to my neighbor who cut the birch out for me last week. My youngest and his buddy worked about 20hrs with me over the weekend. Including in the dark and rain. Troopers. Still have to go back and put all the fence clips on T posts, finish adding hog panel to the 3 gates, and put up the electric fence. Pigs arrive Saturday so no rest for the weary this week.

The Right Amount of Cash to Keep at Home for Emergencies. Hint: Not $480,000
Credit cards and mobile apps won’t pay for much in a power outage.

For storage, and rotation, have any of you used Keystone Meats? I recently heard of them from friends out west and they love them.

They add "convenience" to meals, but you pay dearly for it.

What's the shelf life on that stuff?
Averaged 5 years. That is why I always include the 'rotation' in storage.

My girlfriend is staying about an hour away at her university several days a week, so I added some things to her car kit in case she is stuck there. In addition to a basic survival kit (ponchos, poncho liner, bivy sack, some lifeboat rations, several 1 liter bottles of water, metal water bottle, water filter, knife, several methods of fire starting, cordage, headlamp with extra batteries, IFAK, boo-boo kit) and a 20 degree rated sleeping bag I added an isobutane camping stove with a fuel canister and a three-day supply of freeze-dried food. This way if she is caught by a noreaster or hurricane etc. she can at least have a few days of food ready to go. I also bought a wind-up/solar powered emergency radio with phone charger function. She also has a car jumper pack that can be used as a phone charger. I know she at least won't freeze (sleeping bag + poncho liner + jacket I think she would be OK) or starve. We are going to go over how to use everything this weekend.
I also keep an E-tool, windshield scraper and basic tool kit in each car.

My daughter grabbed us a piglet in the scramble today at the Deerfield Fair. I'll be cleaning out the pig barn and pen this weekend.
Is she down with homegrown bacon? Do not name it.
That is bad ass I’m totally jealous.

Gates and clips done. New 2.2J electric fence tomorrow. The small pen fence is only a 0.1J solar fence, which is fine for piglets but not the 600-700lb adults we're getting.

I have some in the rotation too. Add it to beans and rice. I’ve been getting Yoder’s samplers from MRE Depot too. 6 cans for $88.00 and a good long shelf life.
