Living where we do means that there is something large to be aware of, prep for, besides a financial collapse.  The super volcano.  I know, I know..blah, blah, blah, whatever.  I'm hoping it doesn't erupt, but I sure as heck would rather have a knowledge base and at least be somewhat prepared.  I haven't as yet figured out how to keep the chickens safe, but I really need to.....love those eggs!
