I have a set of baeofeng walkies that I got for emergencies, however whenever I try to learn how to use them all the info I get are from sources that assume I already have knowledge in the subject and make it difficult to start from scratch.

If it gets patched enough it will basically be a new(er) sweater once all the original garment is covered. Could use it for ‘work clothes’ so you don’t destroy other garments while doing dirty work. Could cut of the sleeves and make a vest, using the sleeves to patch and re enforce it. Mabie use it to line a light jacket to make it warmer or use it as a liner to make a wool garment not itchy.

Allot of said cookware can be had at flea markets and yard sales but beware of thrift stores, they have been screwing people with the prices. Oh, when looking for Pyrex if it’s in capital letters it’s one of the better old ones.

There are different versions of these things out there. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LNCRRmrKKes&pp=ygUVZWxlY3RyaWMgZmxhdGJlZCBjYXJ0&ra=m

Maybe a garden tractor (ride on mower?) with a utility trailer. I got mine on the side of the road for $400 bucks, it’s an old wheel horse mower tractor. It’s not electric though. Pros- easy to work on cause it’s old, reliable, fun, utilitarian. Cons- loud, dirty (won’t be dirty if your just riding it around)

You can use small round logs or pipes to roll the logs out, or use the ladder as a travois.

I’m in SE MA and live on 3 acres in a rural area. Me and my wife learned about permaculture about 3 years ago and have slowly but surely been turning our property into a permie homestead. We have many perennial plants and a food forest in the making. Chickens live in the food forest part along with honey bees. Lots of plans (but very little time to do them) in the making. We also use many medicinal plants and mushrooms. We were actually planning on starting to teach people about what we do and permaculture as a whole (we’re still learning as well, can’t know everything) so I’m here if you wanna talk.

Perhaps a chisel/ spade end tamping rod would work. I know the old ones are heavy and indestructible, could get one at a yard sale or flea market.

I use wood chips in my chicken coop. I don’t have time to compost so I just make rings of the manure infused chips around my plants. Wood chips suck up nitrogen and chicken manure has allot of it. This would probably work with charcoal as well. I don’t know how hot the manure is when mixed with wood chips though, maybe it wouldn’t matter as much as long as the leaves don’t touch it.

Stag horn sumac would grow there, mugwort gets pretty tall but not to tall, milkweed, cattail (if wet enough), autumn olive, willows. If you got one of those ‘green spaces’ that has a field or meadow nearby that gets mowed once a year or two that would give you an idea of what can handle getting cut.
