MommaDogs Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 I wanna come. Are newbies allowed? Where is the nearest airport? I'd have to see if we could save enough by then. Getting late to start saving. Link to comment
westbrook Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 atlanta! start making chili once a week! eat it a couple of days! learn to stretch a chicken into several meals!!!! oh skip a meal!!! (tell husband it is practicing for survival mode) Link to comment
MommaDogs Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 GREAT! DH is a second degree blackbelt in kenpo karate and teaches a self defense class. If we make it, he'd be available to teach some of that. And Trip, that's why God made guns... but if the other guy has one also, and takes you by surprise, it's sure nice to know how to disarm him. BTW - Darlene, Daddydogs wants to know if you have any streams on your property or nearby. I think he's thinking of doing some gold panning *if* he can find the time. LOL. He's said we can come, we just have to figure out what to do with the kids now. We're going to treat this as a bug out practice opportunity. Let's see how it goes. Link to comment
westbrook Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 kids... the way I see it... the children can be our runners.... 'sweety, we need more ice tea', 'darlin' can you throw this away for me please' I can sit on the porch and ring my little bell to my hearts content! Link to comment
BiscuitMaker Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 That's our Westie, she will be running the show---now is that sweet tea??? I have to make notes!!!! Link to comment
westbrook Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 NO SWEET TEA! use sugar at will! I use splenda... that is 1 packet to 16 ounces of tea. Link to comment

We're going to treat this as a bug out practice opportunity. Let's see how it goes. A martial arts defense class would be awesome! We'd love for your dh to teach everyone. Yes, there are all kinds of streams around here...I have friends who have creeks and streams, I have a creek... What to do with the kids? Bring them if you'd like. Lord knows I've raised 4 myself and I love them. This type of thing can be a special family affair, plus with all the different type classes we'll be having, they could write a report about the hands on experience they gained by learning all these different skills. If you'd rather come alone, that's fine too, but please don't worry about bringing kids. I have a 12 year old daughter who will be here and probably my 18 year old daughter (the boys are in college)...we can have her babysit...lolol (don't tell her that yet...lol) Link to comment

Darlene Posted July 16, 2008 Author Share Posted July 16, 2008 And just so everyone knows, this isn't a private, invitation only get together. All our friends, whether they be new or old are invited, so don't think twice about jumping in and joining us for the fun. I sure hope westie is up to organizing all the details. Link to comment
Vic303 Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 I thought Cookie was doing the organizing? No wait, I remember. Cookie is in the Dog House! Yeah, that's it. It was that Texas trip she took... Link to comment
BiscuitMaker Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 I sure hope Cookie can bring the --------- Link to comment
BiscuitMaker Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 OK that is 16oz tea and Splenda Do you use lemon???? How about scones--- OH wait you need chocolate Ok I think I have my list---- Link to comment
westbrook Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 my husband still wants to do a barn raising!!! Look... I already know how to butcher... time for me to talk you all through it... from the front porch mind you!! ROFL! If any one wants to teach a class... maybe we need a chat night for the get together? (have to work around my chemo.. I am useless for 4 days after .. next is July 31) so if anyone old or NEW! would like to share what you know.. maybe we can get together and talk about it. We haven't talked about how long... I will be there 7 days! cheaper for airline flights. Link to comment
MommaDogs Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 I would love to bring the kids, but they are in school and not so sure if their "real" Mom would be thrilled about me keeping them out of school. Do we have a nurse/EMT that may be willing to do a first aid - emergency SHTF version, of course? I'm willing to organize lists if needed. (classes offered/desired, people coming and where they will be staying, supplies needed/being brought, etc.) Link to comment

That's your excuse and you're sticking to it, eh? I know the REAL reason you're staying 7 days! You just want to hang out longer in those Georgia Walmart Fabric Depts! Link to comment
Darlene Posted July 17, 2008 Author Share Posted July 17, 2008 It's true Vic... I was talking to her on the phone today and you wanna know what she said? She said..."You need to go to Walmart and get some XXX fabric"... Even long distance she has me running to the fabric department at Walmart. Link to comment
westbrook Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 oh and the kids... most teachers love these trips! not only do the kids have to do regular work.... but they have to write a journal of their adventure! oh and what an adventure this will be too! picture.. boat, pond, fishing poles and turtle! oh and kids!

SueC Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 I am a little worried about the first aid - are you going to have a voluneer to demo on? Now where was the post about dealing with leadshot wounds? I dont think there will be any one volunteering for that ... Link to comment
Stephanie Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 If I can make it, I'll be bringing plenty of kids for everyone. I know they'd love it, no doubt about that. My main issue is not the kids or the money (which are certainly to be considered), but instead it's leaving my homestead, my chickens and goats and rabbits and etc. We don't have any close neighbors, no relationships in the community...a big gap in our preps, I know Link to comment
Darlene Posted July 17, 2008 Author Share Posted July 17, 2008 Originally Posted By: SueC I am a little worried about the first aid - are you going to have a voluneer to demo on? Trip's the man. Maybe we'll even throw Louis1 and/or Wormguy in for backup. Link to comment
