- Sorry Jan but I don't understand the question. Perhaps you are still connected to the grid with your solar power? We are totally off the grid & use no town services at all.

There may come a time one day when you can no longer go shopping, this is known today as TEOTWAWKI. IF this were to happen, then a lot of people will be in a fix, because they have become reliant on everything from electricity & power tools to matches & lighters.
In this group I would like to explore some of the primitive skills, & 18th century living skills. Because if TSHTF one day, these are the skills & methods that will be our salvation.
I have added a new video, Making Dipped Candles. This is just one of the videos available on my DVD, Primitive Skills 2 available from:

Hello group... I read about the perfect drying shed idea - converting that old car on the lot that no longer has working parts... into a drying shed, provided it still has windows. Weatherproof, window adjustment for ventilation etc. Also works as a mini hot house / greenhouse for seedling and tender plants - protected from elements and hungry beasties. As for smoking fodder, old teabags work the charm for small batches. We are fortunate to have a herbal tea in SA which is flavored naturally, but I reckon any old baggie will do. Just keep dumping them into an old coffee tin until the stock is big enough to burn. They also make great fire starters, when soaked in a bit of parrafin / kerosene.
Well done Jan. Half your luck with the rain, very dry here near Armidale.
