That was a strange shopping experience

- Looking for a new upright freezer to store more meat and frozen vegetables. Apparently Strathmore has a Costco surplus liquidation store. Weird.

I think you’re absolutely correct. Not reacting out of fear or panic, but understanding the conditions at hand and making optimistic and proactive decisions to thrive. Imo, I think the next few years will be pivotal, and where building community, connections, and personal resilience will be paramount. Thx, Jeremy!
I like what you said regarding community and connections. I think those are very important and often over looked. Especially by me. 👍
The irony of Jeremy mounting a hairlight. 😄
Hahahahahaha!! I was waiting for this comment! 😆👍
Woooot! Love these vids and shouts! Thanks Jeremy!!
I mean… current events aside… you live in a remote area with a good sized family. I’d think having a supply safety net makes sense! Snow, weather, unplanned circumstances. It’s just good strategy. Thanks as always for sharing!
Thank you! And thank you for watching 👍
It's wild how even way down here in New Zealand, the idea of making sure the pantry is well and truly stocked up is weighing on peoples minds. It's something I've been noticing a lot from all over the world actually, including the weirdly apologetic and careful way people talk about it.
This video also reminded me of a strange store my dad used to drag me to every month that had all sorts of stuff from various stores. There was odd bits of lumber, barely damaged furniture and freezers, pinball machines, old hospital mattresses (no idea who would touch those) and even a life sized Jar Jar Binks statue that I'd always tell dad he should get as a joke. I think the place got torn down for a stadium in the end, but now I wonder what happened to that statue.
Might need to start powdering your head using the hair light! LOL! Maybe consider fab'ing up a rail for your articulating light arm to hang on, so you can slide it side to side. Just some angle iron or flat bar screwed to the mezzanine would do the trick. Have a bunch of rails so you've got lots of hanging options. As a bonus, you can use the rail to hang stuff from. I have 1/8 flat x 1" flat bar rails in both my paint room and wood shop to hang painted pieces on while they dry. I welded on some hangers to the rail to drop it down12" from the ceiling. I use 3/16"-1/4" round rod to bend "S" hooks out of. I have a hundred or so hooks of varying lengths from 3" to 24" for lots of height choice. In the wood shop, the rails are over flow hanging for paint drying when the paint room ones are full. But I also use the rails/hooks in there for hanging clamps on that I'm using but need out of the way of table surface. I use the hooks to loop tool cords on so it gets them over head and out of the way. I hang my apron and safety glasses off a hook so they are right above my head at the table saw and not buried under stuff. You'll find a 1001 uses for them. Happy to send you a pic, if you want, of what I've set up. Make for a good tool time tues.
Really enjoyed the episode of the work for ot podcast you were on!! Appreciate all the content you are putting out! Cheers
The other challenge is the means to power the fridges!!!
Yes that is true. First step is the food. We have had shortages in the past 5 years while power wasn’t an issue. I’m looking at a large diesel welder that could power a city block if needs be. Or something smaller that could be hidden under the front porch just to power the fridges/freezers, well pump, furnace, and a select few outlets. Might be a smarter way to go for emergency preparedness. But I agree 100% with you. That needs to be taken into consideration 👍
Ok I know where I am going on Saturday! I say the sign for this place and wondered what was going on in there.
For myself, I shy away from buying electric/mechanical stuff at those places. To great a chance it was a return due to being broken or not working for some reason. And given the risk and the condition, plus no returns, the prices are often nuts. I find buying new on something like an appliance worth the piece of mind. If something like a freezer shits the bed, you could loose a lot of expensive food along with it. But that just my way of thinking. Neat places to roam around though. :)
That's an interesting place, do you all have online auctions there? Basically the same thing but an auction style. And yes the trucker convoy/strike is already being felt in some stores in Ontario.
Ah, you, too have married up! Congrats brother!
Hahaha! Oh yes! Don’t know what I did to be this lucky but am I ever glad I did! 😆👍
Do they make you pay for the shopping cart so you will return it and they don't have to get them from the parking lot
Yup. This is the cheapest (nastiest) grocery store around. But, the prices for staple items like rice, flour and beans is 1/4 of other stores in town.
