Reply to: What dry dog and cat food would you recommend? Posted March 6, 2023

We use the Black Value Pak 28-20 dog food. We have 8 dogs, 4 inside and 4 out. We buy a months worth of supply at a time. We don’t have any in storage right now, as funds are low. Hoping to get some stored away soon. https://www.jefferspet.com/valu-pak-free-28-20-dog-food-black-bag-50-lb/p?skuId=9070

Typical EDC for me. Late teens, male. Not legal for me to carry a firearm concealed yet, but when that happens will update this. I live on a farm, so lots of chores that need a knife/gloves.

I’ve used nylon, leather, and kydex sheaths for this multi tool, and kydex had been the best by far. I may need to look into getting one of those for days I want a lighter weight belt! How does it fit in the watch pocket?

I’m with you on that. I’ve found that animals tend to be a lot nicer than people 😂

Reply to: Some chores are better than others Posted February 7, 2023

One of my favorite chores to do is feed the animals. The weather has been nice around here the past few days, and being outside has been a joy.

It’s making me rethink our bug in plan. For most scenarios, bugging in is our best option. However, in this scenario we wouldn’t have that option.

Train derailment in Ohio. Evacuations ordered in a 2 by 1 mile radius. Residents still not able to go home. https://www.cnn.com/2023/02/06/us/east-palestine-ohio-train-derailment-fire-monday/index.html This is a scenario where it would be nice to have a go/72-hour bag.
