Default One of the next steps in emergency preparedness

...is, believe it or not, horsemanship. How to care for, train, and ride a horse.

Unfortunately, I really don't have the time for it. Nor do I really have the resources to have my own horse.

Remember, I am the son of a man who bought expensive leather hiking shoes, when he was a poor student, in case he was asked to walk to Jackson County, MO.

Fool he was. I'm not going to walk.

Lousy hayburners. Get yourself a pack mule.

Fortunately, I earned my horsemanship merit badge when I was a Boy Scout.

I should be just fine if things ever came to that.

PS food tip: if you are ever on the trail, store your pinto beans in your flashlight

Your horse will be served medium rare. There will be no walking to MO.

So I brought up the horse idea to my dad, regarding to Jackson County.

He says, "Just ride a bike."

Crap. He's right. You'd get there faster on a bike, assuming you had the ability to carry or acquire enough food. Also assuming that the roads are safe to navigate.

I still like my horse idea though.
