Country Living With Emma

Yesterday we discussed short-term prepping. Today we turn our attention to long term prepping. Is there an overlap? contact me at: countrylivingwithemma@protonmail.com

Short-term or long-term? Is there a difference? Is there an overlap? Which should we prioritize?

What I was able to get accomplished this weekend and seed starting progress. 

The 189th anniversary of the fall of the Alamo. Plus, a survivor of the Runaway Scrape in her own words.

Day one of seed starting. What I did and what I will do differently next time.

Farming is one of the riskiest activities there is. However, if no one is willing to grow anything there won't be any food! Are you willing to take the risk?
