They still have not restocked wet cat food, in fact I'm not even sure I saw the individual cups. They did have a normal amount of toilet paper. The chocolate I like was back in stock after being gone last week, but there wasn't much of it. Staple prices were: bread (20 oz. white): $1.39 (the tag was back); eggs: $2.15 (-); whole milk: $2.88; heavy cream: $5.39; OJ: $3.45; butter: $3.99; bacon: $3.99; potatoes: $3.59 (-); sugar: $2.99; flour: $2.35; and 80% lean ground beef: $4.49. I did check the online price of a 2x4x8 at Home Depot, and it is still $3.85. A gallon of untainted regular gasoline remains at $3.599. Frugality Tip Halloween is my favorite holiday. We have a big Halloween party every year. I try to pick the theme in advance and then start gathering decorations when Halloween items go on clearance. For Halloween clearance shopping this year (so far) we got $300 retail value of items for less than $100. So hit the stores after the holiday and get more bang for your buck. Happy savings y'all Operation Independence Cheese Class and Other Events Main topic of the Show: Five Oft-Overlooked Preps For The Homesteader With all the unrest in the economy, looming worldwide war, accelerating technology and the push from the ruling class (for lack of a better term) to keep we peons unhealthy, just in debt enough that we are too scared to go our own way, and obsessed with the "two" options that are the "only" options so that we fight with ourselves instead of see the true enemy, is it any wonder that, more and more, people want to get out of the cities and homestead? In a disaster a homestead is where you want to be, right? When you homestead, you go all in on Bugging In. 2 is 1 Appalachia and resilience - it's not just that it is rural. It is forgotten, abused, walked on, and easily cut off so people there rely on one another already Typical homestead journey: chickens, garden, canning, wood heat, bigger livestock, hobbies like spinning or woodworking or whatnot. Homesteaders have food covered - sort of. When was the last time you went to the feed store? Mindset shift: prepare for the most likely problems, not wwIII and you will weather wwIII better than if you "prepare" for it. FIVE OVERLOOKED PREPS Medical: Supplies for humans and livestock TRAINING, EDC - what do you have on you, Organization Bugging Out: Your plan is to bug in. Heck, my plan is to bug in. What is your plan if you have to leave quickly? Where are you going? How are you getting there? What will you use to travel? What about your livestock? Security: Beyond carrying a gun. TRAINING. What is the plan (who does what) if there is a two legged threat. What about four legged problems? How hard is it to get to your place? (Thorny hedges, security fencing, etc) Do you know when someone is coming? Can you fight if you have to? Like can you really? Food for livestock: Be honest. What is the plan? What is it if you can't just fall back on TSC? How do you regenerate the food? And be honest? How much do you rely on the grocery store for humans. (Community Connections/Underground Network) Fitness: Can you do everything needed by hand? Are you healthy? What is your plan to get healthy? Is everyone in your family fit? (Dedicated space, nutrition, living apothecary,) Communication (Bonus item): Does everyone KNOW what the plans are, know where things are, also get training, know how to communicate if you bug in vs bug out? As a homesteader you are likely more prepared in many ways than preppers in the city with lots of stuff and no skills, but how do we weather things for real? By getting better one day at a time and by eating the frog that we are avoiding so that we dont end up in a situation where we need a skill we could have built and we just didnt because it was distasteful.

Staple prices were: eggs: $2.15 (-); whole milk: $2.88; heavy cream: $5.39; OJ: $3.45; butter: $3.99; bacon: $3.99; potatoes: $3.99 (-); sugar: $2.99; flour: $2.35; and 80% lean ground beef: $4.49. They again have a small amount of TP in stock A gallon of untainted regular gasoline remains at $3.599. Frugality Tip from Margo Have you ever had a bird peck your window non-stop. Like wake you up and then you have a constant headache for weeks or months because it's trying to kill it's reflection?! Don't waste your money on all the gadgets to keep birds away like plastic owls, window clings and spinners. Go to the store and buy a $5 cloth shower curtain and hang it on the outside of your window with a couple of cup hooks. It lets light in and can get rained on and most important, it works. So save your money on all the things that say they deter birds and just block their reflection. I did this two years ago and still have the same shower curtain up on the bedroom window and we sleep peacefully. Operation Independence The sheep are split and ready for a visit from the ram. Lamb futures we hope! Main topic of the Show: Plan Your Homestead For Old Age Assess Your Homestead What works well for mobility matters Are things far away that should be close (Zones) How is the house for injuries or illness, prolonged versus What happens if you have to be suddenly gone for a few days (Watering, livestock care, self care, pipes freezing, etc) Community needed?

Murphy likes to visit right after Self Reliance Festival and other busy times. Murphy came over last week. Or did he? The funny thing about Murphy is we blame "Murphy" for things going wrong but whose fault is it really. Roaster It is all your fault Do Hard Things because if you don't do them now you will have to do harder things later and this goes for personal health (miking the right small choices every day) and for your business. As the owner, YOU see things that need addressing and you have to make a big choice: Do it yourself or set it up for someone else to do it. The answer is not that simple. That was THE WORK that had to be done so I did it. Because failure is not an option. So back to my roasters and Murphy. It wasnt Murphy's fault. It was mine. But right after they told me they wanted some extra handling. In a week where I felt tired. In a week with extra emails to answer, supplies to stash, communications to write, and steps to take to set up a great 2025. What saves the day: My3Things Doing the Work means identifying which work is most important to do. Example: The location of the ditch for electrical service How to use My3Things, steps to take – Business owner: everything is your fault even when it isn't your fault. Doing the work that was most important first Doing the work to keep healthy Doing the work earlier and later than everyone else Because sometimes doing the work is what needs to be done.

Operation Independence Im paying off my mortgage right after this show Leveraging your home to build something that gives you ongoing resilience, especially when money costs less than inflation is a tool that people have used for a long time to get ahead. But there is also a trap in there. If you leverage, and leverage, and leverage, and then fail, you can lose the home you are living in. One of the amazing things about the US is that home and property ownership is relatively easy, even now when things have gone up, interest rates have gone up, etc. Bi we can buy our homes, outright. And if we organize them right, they can become a source on livelihood. Still. To this day, in 2004. But I was supposed to talk about the $7 coffee at Starbucks and that it does, on fact, matter very much when you build your financial foundation. Bluntly, if you don;t fix your income problem, that $7 coffee may not change your life – but if you can use it to change your mindset, it can be the catalyst. Why? I mean, every penny pincher article about getting a handle on your spending starts with the coffee. We really should call is scoffee because it seems so ridiculous. But here is the thing: I had already planned to pay off my mortgage ahead of schedule - my plan was September 2025 I rounded up by $3-9 per payment the whole time, along with added a 2 payments when there was extra I ended up paying off my mortgage 12 months (and with less total interest) early But back to the coffee problem. People hear about the Starbucks and are like - but I don't buy one every day. In fact, I rarely buy one. I've already cut that. But I paid a mortgage off and saved at least hundreds if not thousands in interest by adding 1 starbucks coffee per month to my principle balance on my home. But what is your mindset? By default: It is easier to buy a $7 coffee than a $400 coffee maker Carry through to all parts of life.. Vevor Vacuum Sealer VS Vacmaster Vevor Raised Beds vs Wood Ones, Vs self made Manageable prefabbed kitchen cabinets vs waiting And that mindset is in fact about the $7 coffee. The $7 coffee is a symbol for making short term choices that don't serve the long term goal. What is your long term goal What do you have in place for that now and what needs to change, be developed, be accomplished to do this? What do you need to do every day to make this happen? Simple terms = success - this is why we hammer the My3things language so very hard - and Marge is pretty good a rewording over on the Telegram group FWIW Complicated = not understanding really well = you wont do it But there is a part 2 here guys. I almost could not pay off my mortgage today despite the fact that I triggered a clause that makes me pay it off. When your principle drops below your monthly payment, you have 30 days to pay it off. But my payoff amount is close to $5,000. My savings has been tapped pretty hard this year for a number of personal reasons. That $1000 emergency fund doesnt magically become $5000. I could have borrowed that from a friend, put it

Yesterday, there was an error at Libsyn, my ausio host and it looks like only half the file made it through their processing. This is the same file uploaded a second time in case you got a version that cut off around minute 38. Enjoy!

Today, we discuss all the things I learned the hard way through my first two winters with a well system in Tennessee. We will also cover our usual Monday segments! Featured Event: Back to the Land Festival the weekend of Oct 18-20: https://www.backtothelandfestival.com/ Use Coupon Code SRF to get 15% off Sponsor 1: KangenWaterCollective.com Sponsor 2: AgoristTaxAdvice.com Listener Feedback from Brian I wanted to let you know your episode resonated with me since I never know what to say on this subject of death either. Whenever we pass around a condolences card at work most people will write "Sorry for your loss." I prefer "Let the good memories get you through this tough time." I remember feeling exhausted after my mom's time on hospice. I hope you are getting some time to relax and reflect especially with the traveling you were having to do to support your family. On the subject of heart, I used one of my pig hearts in chili last year. I called it "Heartburn" the meat never got soft it was firm even after simmering overnight. Most of the kidneys I eat are from smaller animals which turn out awesome when cooked in a roasting pan. Pig kidneys deep fried while you are rendering lard is pretty good. Cubed up and lightly floured is good too. Take care and keep up the great shows. Livestream Schedule Tuesday Live at 9:30AM Central Friday 9:30AM Homestead Happenings with the Tactical Redneck Tales from the Prepper Pantry Holy cow Fridge management on carnivore Frozen tomatoes that need canning Weekly Shopping Report We skipped Home Depot this week, but the online price of a 2x4x8 has gone up 20c to $3.85. Aldi had neither the old nor the new varieties of wet cat food. We'll just dip into our stock a little this week. We found everything else we wanted. Staple prices were: bread (20 oz. white): $1.39; eggs: $3.76 (-); whole milk: $2.92; heavy cream: $5.39; OJ: $3.45; butter: $3.99; bacon: $3.99; potatoes: $4.59; sugar: $2.99; flour: $2.35; and 80% lean ground beef: $4.39 (+). A gallon of untainted regular gasoline remains at $3.599. Frugality Tip A thank you to Margo Operation Independence THE POUR is Thursday Main topic of the Show: Maintaining Your Well Through Winter Someone asked how important a whole house generator is now that they live in the country on a well and power goes out. Define your goal - is it having water or having running water because storage is practically free Simple and cheap options Bottles - 2 gall per person per day for at least a week, include livestock The bathtub and toilet Is there a pool, creek or pond outside and can you carry baskets Repurposed rain water collection Generator thoughts Why power the whole house when you can just power the pump for much less money and effort? Land level stored water plus a 12v pump back feeding your system can run off a battery and get you through on conservation mode Have you done a power audit of your home to get a long term plan? Winter Well Maintenance Considerations Dripping water and keeping pipes flowing versus draining the whole house. Yes. I said draining the whole house. Related drain valves. What keeps pipes and other essential things from freezing at your well head and what do you do if power goes out to keep things from freezing, then breaking What about sediment? Documentation of the components, learning what they do for troubleshooting problems, learn what a check valve i and does and what happens when they break what they do Water testing and treatment Integrating an automatic shut off to avoid burning up the pump Some thoughts on naturally occurring fluoride The local plumbing supply shop is a hidden gem All in all what you do in year one depends on budget and priorities - but I find the problem isn't usually that power went out and I have no water. It is more that something happens in the system and when I did not understand the system, it could take days to remedy even with the help of a professional because a plumber/ electrician mix cant always drop everything and come to a place way out in the country. And all plumbers are not created equal. So time to man up and learn about well systems this year while you also cover things you know can go wrong. Welcome to country living! Make it a great week!

The online price of a 2x4x8 there remains $3.65. Along with the new type, Aldi had some of their canned cat food back in stock, so we got two cases. We found everything else we wanted, but noted they were out of watermelon (not on our list this week). Staple prices were: bread (20 oz. white): $1.39; eggs: $3.77 (++); whole milk: $2.92 (+); heavy cream: $5.39; OJ: $3.45; butter: $3.99; bacon: $3.99; potatoes: $4.59; sugar: $2.99; flour: $2.35; and 80% lean ground beef: $4.39 (+). A gallon of untainted regular gasoline remains at $3.599. Frugality Tip from Margo Hey y'all. After talking to someone recently I realized there are probably some things that are second nature to some, but unfamiliar to others. This week's frugality tip is using media mail with the post office. If you are mailing books, movies, music, or educational material you can send them via media mail. Maximum weight is 70 lbs and it is $4.13 (at time of writing) for any size package. But don't put anything else in the package, they can and will, randomly open media mail packages because some people have tried to skirt the system and mail other things. So send a book to someone and save a few bucks by sending it media mail. Happy savings y'all. Operation Independence That single beef heart yielding 7 meals was pretty slick - especially considering that people all but THROW hearts, livers and tongues at me. Main topic of the Show: Five Tactics To Beat Inflation Long Term View on Necessary Purchases: Quality - repairable freezer without a computer was $200 more than a good-name freezer. Likely to last twice as long. Maintenance on a regular schedule The $5 coffee coffee "problem" and gearing up at home How can you side hustle this? From Scratch Cooking: This CAN cost more but doesn't have to. Do you eat bread? Bake it. Make homemade tortillas. Make them. How often do you grab something for lunch or dinner from a place. Can you premake things and replicate the ease while getting more bang for your buck $15 foot long subway Premade burritos in the freezer Make your own spice mixes Start where you are and make one change at a time. (eating out and making convenience foods on the weekend, meal planning, learn to cook rice or steaks well. If you dont know what to do, do something) SavingsNinja on tiktok -2000/ calories a day on $4 Soapless laundry How can you start a side hustle with this? Prioritize health whatever that means for you. If you are not getting nutrition, exercise, sleep, health maintenance like regular dental attention, mental health – it is harder to tap into new ways to beat inflation. Exercise is free. Making time for exercise is in your control even when you are slammed. Excises do not serve you. Nutrition Reduced Bills, whatever that means for you and your family, when done right will push down the hunger and the bills. Yes. Plenty of people point out that chips are cheaper than vegetables and meats. But in the aggregate ARE THEY? When you cut out the refined sugars, the processed foods and transition to whole foods (yes even if that includes Nicoles nemesis CARBS), the overall grocery bill goes down. At first you may eat more, but your body adjusts. And if you must bake a thing to have a treat, I dont know about you, but it slows me down. Especially since I dont even keep the supplies on hand for something like a cookie. Learn herbal remedies. Dr's and herbalists OH MY. Create access to care for you and your family whether that be insurance, direct care, relationships with herbalists, taking that on at home, etc. Do what you can. Good mental health = resilience. Hard times are hard to get through and if you are mentally weak, it is EVEN harder. Address your mental health. (Nutrition and exercise helps with this) How can you make a side hustle out of this? Produce What You Need: your home can work for you no matter where you live. Growing food, making beer, taking up knitting as a hobby, weld things together for projects, fix things yourself, f

As long as the lid stays closed they are rodent resistant but they are not waterproof around the lid handle so don't store them outside. Also when refilling pull the old feed that's left at the bottom out and add it back on top of the new stuff to rotate feed properly.

Aldi: There was still only one rack with eggs in Aldi, but there were more milk products this week, including some half-gallons, and there was also some of the 1% stuff. We found most of what we wanted, EXCEPT my preferred lunch meat, and canned cat food; fortunately we have some extra. Staple prices were: bread (20 oz. white): $1.39 (+); eggs: $2.42; whole milk: $2.89; heavy cream: $5.39; OJ: $3.45; butter: $3.79; bacon: $3.99; potatoes: $4.59 (+); sugar: $2.99; flour: $2.35; and 80% lean ground beef: $3.79. A gallon of untainted regular gasoline remains at $3.599. Frugality Tip from Margo I wanted a chalk board to have a visible list for #mythreethings as well as 20 min tasks. I found a magnetic dry erase board at a yard sale for $1. I painted it with two coats of chalkboard paint and glued a magnet to a chalk pen. The dollar tree has chalkboard paint, chalk pens, and a magic eraser type sponge that is the best to clean off painted chalkboards. And you can paint any surface with chalkboard paint. If it's bare plywood I recommend putting a coat of any old paint you have laying around first and then two coats of chalkboard paint. After a year or so chalkboard painted surfaces start to get a little dingy. So I paint over again. So for less than $5 it is possible to have a fantastic little chalkboard. Happy saving y'all. ~Margo Operation Independence Relationships matter and because we know a concrete person, we are able to pour the pad sooner and for much less than contracting out - but it means work. While we are doing this, we are learning a skill to get more concrete in around the event area. Main topic of the Show: What Do You Say It's been a grueling 3 months. Really a grueling year as we navigated what is a natural part of life: death. This topic is rarely discussed openly which leaves people rather unprepared on what to do when someone you know is going through the process of losing someone they love. In fact, this seems to be so taboo that being on the other side, the person losing someone is also pretty awkward. When you find out it is happening To share or not to share? What to say? What to respond How can you actually help Check in from time to tile Mealtrains Extend grace Talk about it or talk about normal things – just feel it out What about after it happens? To share or not to share There are many things to do - they take time Dont let your bank know yet! Have a financial backup plan Arrangements made with a mortuary in advance is a huge help A word on hospice A word on big decisions Boundaries… What to say? What to respond Cards, flowers, food, etc But what if I meant to do something and I never did? I am so uncomfortable with the topic I cannot bring myself to reach out. Now what? What is trite vs not trite. Really, there is no "answer" but just being kind on both directions goes a really long way. Make it a great week! GUYS!

Sponsor 1: AgoristTaxAdvice.com Sponsor 2: EmpShield.com, Coupon Code LFTN Listener Feedback I just wanted to reach out to you to tell you how much I appreciate your podcast and the experience Russ and I had at LFTN in 2023. Meeting you, John, and Amanda has really changed our lives for the better. We are doing great things on our farm- I even planted tomatoes in our Dutch bucket system that we have in our greenhouse! I am so stoked to see how things grow and what we can harvest this fall. Your My 3 Things is something that I use daily in order to help me keep things running smoothly on the farm as I work from home. I finished the first year of my program in herbalism and nutrition and am about to start off my second year. It has been so amazing and I was inspired to do better for my family and community through listening to your podcast. Keep up the amazing work and I look forward to learning more from you.

Some of us need glasses, some of us need multiple glasses, or progressive lenses. Sometimes these cost a lot of money at eyeglass stores. Zenni optical is where I buy my glasses. Single prescription glasses start around $8. I have a pair of polarized prescription sunglasses that I paid $20 for and progressive lens glasses start at $38. So grab your prescription(s) and your Pupillary Distance (the distance in millimeters (mm) between the center of one pupil to the center of the other). And check out Zenni.com. they even have a try on feature. Happy saving y'all ~Margo Operation Independence Coffee Sales Are Through The Roof! Thanks Yall. Main topic of the Show: You Can't Unsee It A friend of mine posted some thoughts on the coming election. Her perspective was that if you live in a state where 70% or more of the votes will go D or R no matter who is running, there is no reason to vote "against" the dominant party mathematically if you like neither candidate. She's right. And therein lies the rub really: the word lead. And in those processed lie the true power and control - less so the people "overseeing them". The funny part is there are different reactions to seeing it: Denial Angler Negotiation Mourning And then there is our friend acceptance. But the fight changes after you see it because you know a few things. Realistic impact (your role) Embarrassment is a better tool than force Mostly, it doesnt matter unless you can physically make a change because you get one step forward here – two steps backward there And that back and forth is the distraction.

The past two nights, I have even been able to sleep without any AC and the windows open. With the garden at peak production, which is not the usual flush this year, my mind wanders to the winter months. The old timers are already talking about how hard this one will be based on caterpillars, and other signs. They do this every year.

Today we talk about the #myThreeThings method of personal and life planning and how it can be used through hard times to help you choose the most important things. We also cover a pantry update, the weekly shopping report, operation independence and more. UPDATE FROM Fountain.fm Doggonit Girl - A True Cook With What You Have Moment I listened to this twice. Love the format. I made a version of the tomato soup. Thank you for reminding me that the garden is so tasty. I found the solution to too much trombocino. I just had a baby Muscovy deficiency. They are like a school of pirahna on the seed ball end. I quarter it. They get two quarters twice a day. I have very little rind left. Grated trombocino and the tomato soup, with an immersion blender makes quite the hearty soup. Too much habanero! Bring out the sour cream.

Frugality Tip My frugal tip is not a money tip, it's a time tip Watering trees: Hubby and I spent way too much time watering new trees around our property. We found some cheap five gallon buckets, drilled four holes in the bottom using his smallest drill bit. Now to water a tree, we put the bucket beside the tree on the up side if it's on a hill and fill the bucket up and walk away. Let the bucket do the work. The water slowly drains out of the bucket into the ground to the roots where you want the water, not running off because the hose delivers the water too fast. Christie Operation Independence Trading Lamb for Beef Main topic of the Show: Preparing For After THE FALL Resist Real Relationships: Take the time you have to learn about and build true community – and family – groups based on real trust rather than fake marketing to help each other and do better - kind of like a school of fish versus one love fish.
