Prepping skills learning curve
Posted: Fri Jan 04, 2013 11:58 pmNickeless had a post about your biggest prepping mistakes.
I thought another idea would be on a prepping learning curve.
You know, things you thought would be easy or go smoothly, but then
I recently learned my coffee stash will only last about 1/3 as long as I had planned for it.
I decided to check how fast I go thru 1 container of coffee. turns out really fast.
don't store pinto beans long term in the bag they came in.
with the wood stove at our cabin,
I thought I knew what i was doing
stuff as much wood in it as you can fit before bed, then choke it so it burns slowly.
Cough cough, Choke the intake not so much the exhaust pipe.
You will burn 3x as much wood when it in the 20's during the day and single digits at night,
then you will when it's 40's day and 20's at night.
