Indeed , I had an acre of land I rented in the village. I had a couple of huge polytunnels, couple of dozen fowls, and my beloved goats. It was...

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 9
It all depends on what one means by "work" Jansman. For me, work is a beautiful creative process which just so happens to pay well. And in times of uncertainty it makes sense for me to work more and earn more. For many people work is a grind. Something they feel they haveto do to keep a ro...
