Yesterday we went to see some old friends at their farm about an hour north of us. They have been working on this old farmhouse and land for... well, far longer then the 17 years I've known them. I haven't seen the place in the last 8 or 9 years so it was interesting to see.

These two are experts on self sufficiency and self-reliance, so they have animals (chickens, cows... black angus, yummy), a generator house, a 220,000 gallon water storage system built underground, gardens, concrete "safe room" with 8" thick EMP proof walls, a shooting range, indoor movie theater (primitive but cool), and much more on their 84 acres.

I wish I had got pix of it all but there was SO much to take in I simply forgot. I did remember to get pix of the kids feeding the chickens at least. It was funny cuz she bought these chickens thinking they would get 1 or 2 roosters and 18 or so hens and instead got just the opposite. When I asked her what she thought about it she just said, "Oh well, they'll all taste good on my dinner table!" LOL
