Deer meat is good to eat!!!

Well well well!!  We have not purchased any meat from the box stores because of the outragouce prices.   I have hunted to no avail!! However God likes to provide for me by humbling me!! Lol.  My sister killed a deer that she did not need so she gave it to me, and then my brother-n-law's dad killed one that he did not need and he gave it to me.  So my wife and I skinned and butchered these deer.  We have put up approximately 100 lbs of deer over the last 2 nights. The best we can figure we have approximately $300 worth of ground, roast, stew meat and steaks. God is good in how he aka was provides for me and my family.  

Legacy!

I grew up helping my dad work on stuff around the house.  My youngest memory was helping my dad install an muffler on an ford falcon .  I acttualy held the muffler in place while he bolted it in, then he wiped grease on my face and we had a good laugh! As i got older I helped fix countless things and build stuff for fun and most of the time it was stuff we needed. From the lawn mower to our cars and building sheds to bird houses.  Lot of good memories doing that stuff which him.  So thanks dad for giving my that "do it your self " attitude! That same drive is my lively hood now, for I am a carpenter. It is the same reason I want to be sustainable , and grow our own food, and eat what we harvest from a hunt. Now my middle so goes to work with me and is learning to be handy. What he is really learning is,weather he knows it not not, is a work ethic. The same thing I learned from my dad.

Proper tools.

When you are sustainable or trying to become sustainable, it is a good idea to aquire the proper tools, and also to Keep up those tools . So just remember take your time and stay the course and get those proper tools.  Also, one of the most important tools you can have, is knowledge.  Knowledge of how to live sustainable.   We also need to have the knowledge of The Lord , you need to know Him personally. With out God, we can not have good knowledge. And with God we can not be sustained! 

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding. (Proverbs 9:10 KJV)
