Great afternoon hunt. Lots of Turkey and Deer. Turkey roost on top of us.
A flock of hens came by me while ground hunting deer. Very vocal and as they circled out of sight a group of does and yearling came in and stay close until the turkey started roosting above us.

Ramblings. Selfish Preppers and Modern School Security

I give my thought why prepping gives the image of being selfish and why that should be far from a prepper's thoughts. I also share some thoughts on the direction that our public-school systems are heading in the name of security.

    I posted midway of your talk. I’ll add that your dead on with the schools too. Slowly by slowly state and federal govt. has been allowed to overtake the curriculum and the parents input is really not wanted, except making sure the heavy homework load is done. We’ve never had a close by school shooting but I remember a little boy being taken almost 30 years ago in a neighboring county and that’s when the fear, power and control started in the local schools. It was justified and excusable at first but it has just kept snowballing. You and I could sit down and have a good long talk I’d say and would agree on 95% of it.

    • @stephenpickard3150
      @stephenpickard3150 Місяць тому

      You are dead on at the end with govt. slowly trying to overtake control of your kids too. They would like you here to drop them off and pick them up and not even allow you in the school. Sadly, many parents are A OK with that as long as the govt. keeps keeping them up too.

    This is a prime example of why most people that will hear it never need to confuse or label someone with an accent with ignorance. Your upbringing and life aspects reflect my thoughts and beliefs very closely. I have the accent too. First thing I ever caught were box trap rabbits and was proud to see them on the food table after my mamaw fried them. Sadly, labels and appearances on Facebook and UA-cam are becoming THE REWARD to too many. The actual growing knowledge is way on the back burner from the “ look at me” aspect.

    Great conversation, I wouldn’t call them selfish I would call them prepared. In the old days this was how people did it. Gardening, canning, salting and smoking and drying meat. As the man of the house, nothing haunts me more than not being able to provide or protect my family. I’m always going through scenarios in my head. Honestly, I’m scared for my kids and what they may have to face in the near future. As for the school stuff, we have went back to homeschooling.

    queen mandibular pheromone is shared from mouth to mouth bee to bee therefore the double screen board completely separates the two hives as one box can't get a taste of the pheromone. As you have said you have used and succeeded with news paper separation method and that is what I think you could have done here. The first bees through greet each other through the hole and start sharing the pheromone and thus it moves into the queen less hive before the bees themselves move up into the queen right box. I have watched but not tried but it makes a lot of sence to use a light sugar syrup of 1/2 and spray the queenless hive heavy and the queen right hive light and use no paper at all. Every body gets cleaning and thus handing off the sugar to workers to be stored as honey and the pheromone moves from bee to bee. There is only one smell or taste so no conflict. The best plans of mice and men....
