    10/4 on the tinder box fire hazards. Was in the bootleg 418'000 acre wild fire in southern Oregon in 2022. 18 acres and everything I owned burnt. Over 4000 various pines and aspens,, all gone. I'm 68,, and I gotta tell ya, broke me down to the lowest level of my life short of my brothers death in the 60's. But, life is limited, we all know that. I'm rebuilding, but where else would I live or be able too at my age, nursing home's are not my gig.

      Sorry to hear that. All I'm focused on right now is fire mitigation. I guess we only control so much but I'm doing what I can. Thanks for commenting. Take care.

    Your gonna do fine with that; Can do adittude. Winters in the Cascade range are just as un predictable. 2 winters ago, I exsperienced 13 to 14 ft accumulated snow through out the season. That kept me busy and snowed in for 6months. There is always small game like rabbits that once in a while appear. Concentrate on your dried or canned beef stores and beans, smoked hamm hocks and belly's. Dried split peas & blackeyed peas,. Salt pepper Flour and sugar. Me, I store up on these and coffee along with dried onions potatoe flakes, rice and noodles. I use 5-gal buckets&lids too store thee excess till I need to restock thru winter. My creek freezes over, but honestly theres no better tasting water than fresh fallen snow. Not bottled, filtered or anything. Makes the most tender pot of beans and best tasteing coffee !
    Not much else I can tell ta except, firewood. Have plenty ready, 6 to 7 cords covered and dry. I should really take that last one more seriously myself,, been going on 6 winters dropping and cutting almost daily every cold ass winter. Your distant ancestors,, with all there lack, made it or you wouldn't exist today,,, you will TOO!
