There are ample mouths to feed around here. No worries on dates going negative.
Nothing for 5 months until today.
Why is it always the rich prep'r that gets killed in survival books?
It amazes me how many people actually say that... and believe that they will be welcomed with open arms when they did nothing to prepare besides head your direction.
I just tell them that they need to bring all their preps and we will see if there is room for them. No preps means no entry. One neighbor that I used to talk to decided that he had plenty of guns and ammo so that would buy him a spot. Well we have plenty of that as well... and none of it eats my food. Besides, bringing 30 guns that you don't really know how to use doesn't help as much as you might think.
Only two people are welcome here without preps... mother in law and my father. She has plenty of food stuff, but because she is a hoarder like that, and he has plenty of firearms which are mostly mine.
Went through some boxes of gear (posted a few things in the classifieds, btw ).
Made a bow/drill set and practiced a making a few fires by friction.

Any luck?
Absolutely. It's not luck, it's science.
Little details make a big difference.
Rode the road bicycle 105 miles last weekend to increase stamina, and test EAC tabs and equipment. Researched and prepared acorns for food.

Reds are tougher to process than whites, but more forgiving of collection timing. Whites you gotta get right after they fall or they will get eaten by animals or sprout. Reds can sit for a while, and have fewer weevil worms.Currently we have a red oak that is producing massive amounts this year. Last time it happened I collected a lot, but it took so much to get the tannin out. What is the secret? There is a lot of meat in each nut, I hated to let it go to waste.
