I don’t know too much about yling ylang, but I ordered some from doterra a couple years ago because someone suggested it for multiple things I was looking for an oil for, and my first thought when I smelled it was “cat piss”. I’ve told several people that, most disagree with me, but I was told by the lady that recommended it that the smell is pretty strong and she knows several people that don’t like it. I personally still thinks it smells like cat piss if you smell it in the bottle, but once it’s diluted or diffused, the cat piss smell goes away and it’s more like a light floral smell

Is there a limit to how many or whatever? If be happy to follow your code, just not really sure how it all works still

I’m okay at throwing knives, I just enjoy practicing, but seems completely not ideal to plan on throwing your tool at someone, and giving them the possibility of using it against you….i suppose if you were good enough at it, that wouldnt happen, but I can see myself losing any knives I had available because I missed my target and lost it, or a rabbit limped off with it stuck in its leg….

Being raised with the idea that if something is slightly dangerous, just stay away from it, this is proving to be difficult…. I was not at all encouraged to do anything that might prove to be dangerous, and to do it well without being stupid. I have no problem with firearms and the people who use them responsibly, I have a lot of respect for anyone that knows and respects their resources or tools, I just think there’s too much volatility with a firearm to have one and not be comfortable with it. I have a couple, I shoot when I can, I’ve taken them apart to clean them, I just want a better idea of the mechanics, and more experience before I keep them on hand….i know it’s stupid to be scared of them, but I really am, and right now it seems like it would be more likely to be a negative thing to have at hand, rather than a positive one

Not completely planning for when “shtf”. Just realizing how thoroughly unprepared I am for any kind of disrupt, I don’t like the idea of being so incapable and responsible for my kids, so dependent on luxuries that we don’t really think about as luxuries til it’s too late, you know? As I said before, if “shtf” for real, I’m pretty well fu**** anyway, I don’t think any amount of preparation in the next couple years even, would give me the idea that I could or should try to take my kids away from everything we’re used to and expect to survive let alone do well. But there are so many things that I would be better off knowing or having the ability to do, that I don’t really know where to start anyway. So I guess it makes sense to me to learn something that I could actually utilize on a normal basis, that would be valuable to know in a less than ideal situation, whatever it is that caused that situation. The prepper subs, or the discussions about shtf survival, or scat packs, bug out packs, whatever you want to call them, are not reasonable for me. I like the idea of that kind of preparedness but there’s just nothing logical about it for me personally. I would like to have a small piece of that, knowledge, ability, materials, tools wise, for a bit of reassurance that I’m not just completely helpless, but still trying to figure out what the best parts to take the most seriously are. A small weapon to be able to kill small game with, that I can use recreationally, and be able to teach my kids how to use, that doesn’t mean raising them with a paranoid doomsday sense of fear, but still gives them a slight advantage and the basic idea that just because something is a necessity doesn’t mean it will always be handed to you or readily available, seems like a decent place to start.

I actually did have ebt before, and had quite a stockpile in my freezer and pantry, not the slightest bit worried about food. But had a mess with my living situation, didn’t have an address to give for approval and no longer get ebt benefits. Probably one of the reasons why I’m thinking about such things, cause damn that huge stockpile of food sure went fast in the last 4 months, and I’m really glad I had it cause I’m still looking at several months before I get caught up financially, without having to have spent too much on groceries. Hesitant with firearms, mainly because of a big upfront cost and I have no idea what would be the most useful and versatile. Also, I would prefer to know a weapon like that thoroughly before I had one that I kept at hand, so still looking for an opportunity to be shown more in depth, if that makes sense

Kinda the sub I was wanting, I do camp with my kids when I can or hike occasionally, although fairly close to town, and though I would most likely not plan on having to survive in the wilderness because of inexperience, it’s just as likely or more so that I would need to survive in a forest or similar area than anywhere else. I guess the only reason I hadn’t considered those options you mentioned would be having to go back to them or staying in one area for a while, but given what I just said, I suppose learning those things would still then, be more productive. Do you have a source or recommendation for somewhere to learn the basics of trapping, or whatever you would be able to best do with littlest preparation for? Or the least bulk in materials?

My apologies though, I have asked a few questions in the wrong subs lately from going off the last few discussions, rather than the description of the sub. I probably should have worded this one quite a bit differently.

Only reason I would disagree is cause a stick with enough weight would be cumbersome

lol only zombies I’m worried about are the glassy eyed people walking around still thinking everything is fine…

I’m in Nebraska, so from what I read, a slingshot is legal here for some game. I’m a single mom of two fairly young kids, and pretty inexperienced. So if shtf, I’m pretty much fu**** anyway. My preferable plan would be to “bug in” if possible, as it’s pretty unreasonable to think I’d be able to survive alone with my kids, or that any other person would want to take on the responsibility without a significant positive contribution.

I do have a couple better options for weapons, getting food, just am thinking I would want to use that as sparingly as possible, for either legal reasons, or for lack of ammo and procuring more, and it’s not going to be super easy to carry. (I don’t have a handgun). And if I am with a group or people, and my trade off for that was the use of my weapons, I would want something as a backup still. (Or with someone who would be able to use my tools more proficiently than I could myself)

This was my thought originally, just got a lot of negative results when I searched.

I kinda thought with enough practice they would be quite useful for a survival situation, just not sure what to start with.

Maybe not quite fit for the forum, but I’ll share anyway. I will always carry activated charcoal capsules with me. My 18 month old got ahold of a vape pen, (50mg, salt nicotine) and sucked down about 3/4 cartridge of fluid. I didn’t have a vehicle at the time, and while waiting for my husband to get home from work to take her to the hospital, she started acting very fussy and sleepy, and sweaty. I gave her a capsule of activated charcoal and within 10 minutes she threw up (initially I thought that meant it hadn’t done anything to help) I think she threw up once more, and by the time we got to the ER, she was acting normally, not sweaty, just a bit more fussy than normal. After the bad parenting lectures and all the paperwork on how to quit smoking/vaping, we were told that there was no way she could have ingested as much as I thought because she would have been way worse off, and that the activated charcoal wouldn’t have done anything to help. They told me first thing she would probably have to stay overnight and be monitored, but her oxygen levels (and anything else they checked) jumped back up to normal pretty quick and they checked her out after a few hours. I was then given paperwork on how to properly use the ER, and was told it wasn’t really necessary for me to take her there. Similar thing happened when my other daughter, almost 3, got ahold of a bottle of multivitamins at my sisters house and started to develop a rash on most of her body, and her face swelled up, had a fever. Gave her a capsule of activated charcoal, she threw up a couple times and within an hour she was about back to normal. Waited in the ER for about 30 minutes, so by the time she saw anybody, they said she was fine, gave me paperwork on how to identify rashes and allergic reactions (her rash had turned into just slightly reddened skin before they saw it) and how to properly use the ER. I haven’t really thought of any reason you might need it in a survival situation, but it’s saved me enough to say I’ll never be without it.

That’s usually about what his totals end up as, but what about the barnwood, any opinion on that? Prices I’m seeing are about $10-$12/foot, but that seems super high to me.
