    Be careful with booby traps if the legal system is still in operation.

    I'm in N.Florida in a small-town rural area. Of course, most of north and central florida is rural. except for the beaches of course.

    People around here don't take to looting and burning with no resistance at all. I sure don't blame cops for not sticking themselves out to be persecuted either.

    I am not blaming the cops bless their heart it is terrible for them. I'm blaming those who tie their hands behind their backs. I never see a cop or soldier I don't thank.

    I also think the local sheriff is at fault too. If they would use the powers given them cops and deputy's would all be more able to enforce the laws.
    Of course, any sheriff who does is a target of the feds and democrats. Sheriff Arpaio and Sheriff Clark come to mind.

    Prepping on your own can be difficult. First I thought our apple crop would not come in. Then all the trees were covered. Storms, birds and squirrels descimated (?) our transparent tree which we would have been putting up now as applesauce. We can put up a little freezer sauce, maybe. We picked the apples left and a lot can't be used.
    Our wolf river was COVERED with blossoms and then fruit but now very few so no drying this year. But our delicious apple tree is still hanging in there:rolleyes:. And I looked across the big pasture and the spice apple tree is covered with fruit. So far away I can't tell about quality but I need to go find those little cinnamon candies for canning them. I know I have some because that tree hasn't been good for a couple of years.

    Apple trees don't do well here but we did have some luck growing certain ones in North Georgia.

    I watched a video yesterday that claimed the #1 thing to do when prepping was to plant raspberries!

    Since you mentioned apples, I have to mention an apple variety that came from Russia that is totally red through the flesh. I can't recall the name, but it is very difficult to find, as it is almost inedible fresh, but it makes wonderful cinnamon apples.

    Back to prepping.
