Tales from the Prepper Pantry
Not much coming off the garden this year yet so we are not canning Preparing easily reheatable meals for the coming weeks of commuting to CaliforniaWeekly Shopping Report
This week's trip started with Hobby Lobby. The store looked normal overall, with the usual assortment of craft items and dust collectors, but there were empty hooks here and there; finding something specific you want may not be a sure thing.
Next stop was Home Depot. They still have a lot of cordless tools from the recent Fathers' Day deals, but selections are dropping. A 2x4x8 is unchanged from last week, at $3.48. They also have a LOT of solar yard lights, much better than the cheapies you find in dollar stores or even in China-mart. These are potentially good power failure lights or inside guide-lights; put them out to charge during the day, and bring them in at night. Regular batteries also remain in very good supply.
Aldi was last. Produce quality remains a little erratic, but quantities are still good. We found everything we wanted, although there was little pork, and some prices have edged higher once more. Staple prices were: bread (20 oz. white): 1.35 (+); eggs: $1.78 (+); whole milk: $2.83; heavy cream: $5.39 (+); OJ: $3.29; butter: $3.59; bacon: $3.99; potatoes: $4.49; 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
We did a week long road trip around Self Reliance Festival. Two nights with family, one night with friends and 4 nights in a fantastic little cabin in the woods. I packed half our cooler with frozen meat when we left the house. I grilled and cooked at the cabin. We did not NEED to spend any money on eating out the whole week. (We did choose to support the food vendors at SRF because they were there). So if you are on the fence about the expenses involved in traveling, you can save a lot money buy bringing your own food. The couple of months before we left I grabbed a bag of nuts here, some other snacks there and had a bag of food ready to go when we left the house. With Airbnb we paid for the cabin in installments and it was paid for before we got there. With a little creative planning you can have a week long vacation with little expenses spread out over time.
Also stashed cash for months and came home with enough cash to cover the gas and misc bills that we incurred on the trip.
So take the trip to find your tribe!!

Working through the rest of the pork, three meals a week Smoked Pork Rib Roast Bone Broth Overload as it gets hot Drying herbal teas for winter (Must harvest the mints)Weekly Shopping Report from Joe
Our first stop was Hobby Lobby for some Velcro. Their sewing notions area looked well-stocked.
Next was Home Depot. The store was reasonably busy for a non-weekend day. There is still no price tag on the 2x4x8 studs, but online they have dropped to $3.48. Seems to me I've seen some stuff online suggesting the lumber market is "collapsing." We'll see...
Last was Aldi. We found everything we wanted. The 70% cacao chocolate was back in stock. It seemed there was more bread than there has been in recent weeks; more pork had returned to the meat coolers, and the cantaloupes were again decent. Staple prices were: bread (20 oz. white): 1.29; eggs: $1.54(-); whole milk: $2.83; heavy cream: $5.29; OJ: $3.29; butter: $3.59; bacon: $3.99; potatoes: $4.49; sugar: $2.99; flour: $2.35; and 80% lean ground beef: $4.09.
A gallon of untainted regular gasoline remains at $3.599.
Frugality Tip NOT from Margo
Quality cabinets are hard to find (ask me how I know). If you have a ReStore nearby, you can find some amazing buys. We were able to get a 14 piece set of wood build cabinets. It included 2 tall units and another one with glass doors. Total cost $1800 before taxes.
Have a great day.

Main topic of the Show: Home Food Preservation For Everyone
As we get into food abundance season, I thought today would be a good time to talk about various home food preservation methods, and how to fit them into your life. Anyone can preserve food and you dont have to invest in tons of infrastructure to do it if you are not yet ready to fully commit.
Growing food and foraging is like printing money when you do it right. Likewise, food preservation is your savings account for winter.

Tales from the Prepper Pantry
Green beans are GONE! Bone broth every day. Cant wait to get my jars back Freeze drying eggs and other abundance Air drying wild herbal teas Might actually pick and freeze some wild raspberries this week. Might Looking back at pulling the roof from the prepper pantry and redoing it so things are moisture tight in the next few monthsWeekly Shopping Report
Our first stop on this Friday's shopping trip was Home Depot, primarily for bird seed. There is still no tag on the 2x4x8 studs, but the online price is still $3.73.
Our only other stop was Aldi. They have run out of 70% cacao chocolate again. I saw more trays of salmon than usual, in lesser amounts per tray; it's priced per pound, so that's not "shrinkflation," apparently just a packing choice. Other meat choices looked a little sparse, with no pork butts and not a lot of ribs; fewer trays of ground beef as well. Lunch meat remains in good supply. Over in Produce, there was a big box of cantaloupe, but they all looked sorry, so we passed on those. The bananas (and other fruits and Bidens) looked good. Staple prices were: bread (20 oz. white): 1.29; eggs: $1.79; whole milk: $2.83; heavy cream: $5.29; OJ: $3.29; butter: $3.59 (-); bacon: $3.99; potatoes: $4.49; sugar: $2.99; flour: $2.35; and 80% lean ground beef: $4.09.

Operation Independence
Chicken Processing and the PURGE
Main topic of the Show:
Seventeen years ago, when I came to the Holler Homestead, some of the first things we did to the place was get set up to thrive through power outages. Back then they were rare and often repaired within an hour or two but growing up in a place where ice storms blew through every few years and no one was really set up for them - well that had set a foundation for things I wanted to make certain were handled no matter where I chose to live.
So much has changed from the early days, including how much time it takes to get things up and running when the power goes out, frequency of power outages, and how gracefully we weather these times.
Yesterday, I sold off two inverters that I had. They were intended to turn my car into a generator in the event of a power outage so that I could cool things down in my fridges and freezers and not have to panic pressure can all the meats here. As I watched them find a new home, I realized that we have not done a show with tips on how to thrive (not just survive) through power outages. Especially the kind that last a long time.
This show is for folks who are on grid but who want to do better when the grid goes down.
Embrace the suck (Which is that you will be putting more effort into comfort during a power outage) Emotional boosts: rechargeable light bulbs, lanterns, hot coco and a way to make it, story time or other entertainment, having a known plan Have a plan - make sure everyone knows the plan and their roles, be cross trained, bonus points if it is documented (Mine isn't) Tips Reduce what you cool or heat (Why I have a wood stove) Use what you have: camping supplies, the propane grill outside, your tent for sleeping in the summer at night, etc. Inverter/generator is a game changer BUT While they are in use take everything from the fridge that you plan to use for the day and keep it in a small cooler Countertop ice maker is a game changer Consolidate fridges and freezers so they are full Use paper plates and dish bins bins and wash 1-2 times a day WHILE IT IS STILL LIGHT OUT Top off battery operated devices while driving if you will be driving (Cigarette chargers with multiple USB Ports). Bonus points if you have power bricks Fast to cook meals, or low and slow in an insulated bin (or rock pot) What can you function stack? Woodstove is a crockpot and water heater Some things to consider for long term resilience What do you have that ONLY works with electricity and which of these things need to be handled to keep everyone thriving? (HVAC, Cooking, Drying, Lighting, Internet Equipment, Entertainment, Medical Equipment, Animal Habitat like aquariums or ponds) Can you shift to an alternative? (Gas, Wood, Camping Gear, Regenerative technology, Hard copies, do without) Can you use a battery supply for the things that you NEED? (Built in battery (A rechargeable device), Power bricks, battery bank, solar device) Can you find a way to regenerate the things that take power? (Hydro, wind, solar, gases, wood, gravity, hooking up a bike, composting. Etc.A word on communications.
Mostly make it fun.
Make it a great week!

Reduced projects that I am focusing on and as a result finds have also reduced. We are assessing the homestead in terms of what brings value now more than ever. With the extra time, the home is almost back to a source of support rather than a drain. There is a lesson in this.
Main topic of the Show: Why Homesteading and Coffee
May 20, 2016 - an excerpt
Nine years ago, we started on an adventure in the country. What began as a weekend getaway quickly changed into a small homestead with chickens, gardens, laughter, neighbors, and sometimes the opposite of laughter.
The Holler Homestead is known in our area for our home roasted coffee (it takes less time to roast your own than drive to the store), elephant garlic, stone ground flour and hand rolled oats. We also help people learn how to preserve food and are keenly interested in self sufficient living.
Y’all, I have not listened to episode one since about a week after recording it to figure out how I could be a better podcaster. It feels like so much has changed, and it has. But the core, the mission, the motivation is still the same as it was on day one. Do you know how good that makes me feel? Also a bit surprised.
Back in 2016, this podcast was my only creative outlet. It was an attempt to reach more people who were interested not only on homesteading but it taking whatever steps in their life that they could to build something for them, outside the system, to live as they saw fit, without buying into the societal expectaitons - and without asking permission.
