Heavy equipment to clear debris

Over the past few months I have been working on clearing small trees and other brush to fence in a few acres. Thankfully I was able to bring in some heavy equipment front end loader to move the heavy limbs and brush. A day and a half was spoiled because of the rain, but otherwise we got a lot done. Lot more left to do, but hopefully will be running fence this summer.

Germinating Decade Old Seeds

When I made a video about stockpiling seeds, there were some comments about how savings seeds in the freezer would not work. I decided to test it out myself.

I took some seeds out that were 10 years old and been kept in the freezer. Using my own process, I was able to get the seeds to germinate.

So yes, preppers can save seeds in the freezer for a long time.
