Today’s episode was created by the audience during a MeWe Monday chat.  There are a few keys here.  First we are not recreating the Bug Out Trailer series with Steven Harris, it is not an exhaustive list of everything you need to bug out to Tin Buck Two. This is designed to be stuff that can be in just about any vehicle at all times and yet you still have room for your groceries and your kids. Next while two is one and one is none, we are not looking to over do redundancy here.  So this list assumes you have a good BOB (72 hour kit) and that it goes in your vehicle when needed (most times) and that you also carry a reasonable EDC kit on your person.  We also purposefully left out items like guns and ammo.  This list is something that even a 17 year old girl really should have in her car and know how to use. Some items are also more “kits” or groups of items or classifications of items as well. This is to make the list as universal as possible, and allow individual adaptation for your unique needs. Join Me Today to Discuss… Facts about vehicles and why you should have preparedness items in them Most people spend about 18 hours a week in their vehicle, that is 12.5% of all hours in a week There are 6 million accidents a year in the US and about 4-6% of people are in a wreck per year The average vehicle is now 11.4 years old in the US The List of 25 Items from Yesterday’s MeWe Monday in No Particular Order Tire Kit (quality jack, lug wrench, compressor, plug kit, spare tire, etc.) Fuse Kit Basic Tool Kit (include a Multi Meter) Cell phone charging kit (cords, charger, back up battery) Child Care Items and or Dog/Pet Kit First Aid Kit Flashlights (at least one hands free) Water Weather Radio Blankets/Tarps Road Flares or Signal Lights and Signaling Devices Maps/Atlas Lashing, Tying, Etc. Kit – Tape, Tie Wraps, Wire, Cordage, Velcro Spare Common Parts – Belts, hoses, etc. Fluids For Your Vehicle Extraction Kit Note pad and pens and pencils Jumper Cables and or jumper pack Extra food that is vehicle temps stable Tire billy, or some “club” that isn’t a club Stash of hidden cash Spare keys Documentation package Apps and the knowledge to use them (zello, glympse, etc.) Trash Bags Final Thoughts   Resources for today’s show… Join the Members Brigade Join Our Forum Walking To Freedom TspAz.com The Granddaddy’s Gun Club Biltong for Breakfast The Legend of Wooley Swamp – Charlie Daniels Band   Sponsors of the Day Butcher Box Backwoods Home   Remember to comment, chime in and tell us your thoughts, this podcast is one man’s opinion, not a lecture or sermon.

Okay I called today’s show “Half Acre Homesteading” because marketing.  The use of two words in a 2-3 word phrase is good at grabbing attention, think “Taco Tuesdays” or anything in that vein.  You don’t need a half acre to make today’s show work for you,  you can do most of this on even a postage stamp lot, many do.  Likewise even if you have a lot more land, then this is what we call zone one design. Creation of a 1/20th – 1/2 acre system that you spend the majority of your activity on and hence it is ultra productive and gives you the greatest ROI on your efforts.  I will be covering techniques, varieties of vegetables and perennials, tools, etc. today but it is also a lot about how to think about the concept of small property homesteading.  Today we start with part one of a multi part series on this subject and cover annual gardening.
