    The journey into the abyss of no return

    In comparison when it comes to permits on areas one can live in, this place is most relaxed. I've seen people needing tens of thousands to need a permit to build a house. Permits are a mere suggestion out here for the few there is. Septic is one, which is odd since properties are minimum 20...

    The journey into the abyss of no return

    All accounted for and still living. Hard to count them when they are buried in the hay with little tunnels going various directions. There is already a storm brewing for 2026, DNRC (Department of Natural Resources & Conservation) wants a plan by January 16th on how I plan to cap my well off...

    Thanks, Forever, could of been more and better if I was allowed to finish it. Embarrassing to try to count exactly how many boards needed for the project with no room for waste, extra or whatever. That's why you see some of the sheathing without the grey barrier on it. I'm going to be too busy...

    Well I made those go, so I'm sure I will get these up there. Just takes a lot of water for fermenting their feed and time with strength. I was feeding them 15 gallons of fermented feed a day and when I had the last batch of piglets I was average 20 to 25. Break that down of four to five 5 gallon...

    Got two sows for breeding already, so the others will be for slaughter. Not looking for too much, just enough to fill the gap for the time it will take to get bison to market.

    Thanks, I might keep all 18, separate them and put them in a temp fencing area that moves. I have over 180 acres I need to fence in that is heavy in brush that needs mowed down, plus wildfire problems from the brush. After almost a year on fermented feed I now know how much it will take a year...
