What did you do to prep today?

[ChristieAcres]

In the am, DH came in and told me our buck was hanging in the shop. He had an appt. without the time to gut it, so asked me if I would (keeping in mind I never watched or have done it before...). So, off he goes, leaving me with the job...

So, I sat down, watched a 4-minute YouTube, and gutted my first buck! Better yet, DH comes home, sees my work, and was thrilled. Hey, it was a GOOD YouTube...

Tomorrow, canning Venison!

We came full-stop !

We did a little camping, this past weekend. We did nothing strenuous or even novel. We simply relaxed, read a lot and enjoyed our time out in the fresh air and the woods.

Now that we're back home, it's back to planning, organizing and situating, just in case we have to move in a hurry.

Tonight, I canned Venison and also Dungeness Crab.

Thanks, figure I should just forge ahead and get the experience. Next, I'll learn how to completely dress out a deer. Part of our prepping is relying less and less on technology. If it ever fails, we are living simply already. I spent a lot of my early childhood on my grandparent's farm. Their lifestyle was the most independent one I had ever seen. I miss my little hardworking spit-fire of a grandmother, 4'10" and a force to be reckoned with...I think she was a better shot than grandpa!

I canned the rest of the buck tonight, with more canning to do before I go visit family in CO (Sat).

Just bought a few extra canned goods. No more extra to spend. Trying to help others right now.
