There is a group in Southeast Missouri including the #stl area. Local producer, local processor, local consumer. Online not fully set up yet.

Let me know if you are in that region and looking for beef and other locally produced farm goods.

Almost like there is an aide somewhere in the system leaving an Easter egg hat tip to Hal.

nostr:npub1csamkk8zu67zl9z4wkp90a462v53q775aqn5q6xzjdkxnkvcpd7srtz4x9 , you want another area to learn about Bitcoin?

Not your keys, not your coins.

But very importantly, remember:

Prepare with wisdom, not fear.

There are a lot of people here willing to help you. Holding your own keys can be a very daunting task. Don't worry. Learn and don't rush through it.

Well worth it.

One of the biggest hurdles in learning new skills is the first step. Taking the first step gives you the confidence to continue the journey.

You don't have to be an expert at it now. Having the basic knowledge and skills allows you to not only be well rounded as an individual, but also better prepared for the future, whatever that might be.

The more you can do yourself also means you are able to evaluate the value someone else's work has in your life. Once you can do the work yourself, you know what goes into it. You know how much to pay to hire someone to do a specific job.

Planning on selling live egg layers in about a month. I have heard shopstr was gettinng built, but haven't taken the learning dive yet.

A lot of people started around that time. A lot of good company.

Learn to use the tools now.

Practice.

Prepare with wisdom, not fear.

Itโ€™s been over two months since my child was born, and Iโ€™ve happily returned to being able to wear pants when I want ๐Ÿ˜Š

This means itโ€™s long past time to follow up on what I found to fill my need for a better thigh holster to wear with skirts and dresses.

I never found one, per se. But wearing these cotton bike shorts under dresses and skirts was a game changer:

Nirlon Biker Shorts with Pockets

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07PG47QXD

Theyโ€™re 92% cotton, 8% elastane, which I find comfortable and acceptable enough as a natural fiber maxi. Being skintight biker shorts, they fill the niche of underskirt shorts for comfort even without the pockets, which are just large enough to carry a snub-nosed Smith and Wesson J-frame in a pocket holster โ€” meaning most other reasonable concealment guns in pocket holsters will fit with no problem.

This puts the gun on the outside of the thigh, which I was concerned about for no reason. There was no printing, though it might be a concern for clothing that is tight on the thigh. Additionally, since it holds it slightly higher on the thigh than most thigh holsters, which seem to put the gun just above the knee, it feels much safer to wear midi-length dresses, which is great because good floor-length dresses are basically impossible to find unless you are cool with polyester and rayon (again, like my ideal dress, I am a cotton maxi ๐Ÿ˜‰)

Holding just the weight of the gun in one pocket, these stayed up very well, though as pregnancy belly grew even more, the waistband needed a little rolling down. Putting loaded speed strips in the other pocket as well seemed a great idea, but proved a little too much weight for the shorts. The other pocket was a handy place to store phone and ID when wearing dresses that donโ€™t have pockets, though, so this is a pro tip even for those of you who donโ€™t wish to carry a gun.

I never tried running in these while carrying, but it held everything securely through energetic walking and 90+ degree angles of sitting.

All in all, highly recommend, 10/10 โ€” this one item of clothing helped me stay able to protect myself during a particularly vulnerable time, and has revolutionized my potential wardrobe. I only wish it came in more colors suitable to underskirt shorts, like flesh tones and white. Hope this review helps a bunch of ladies ๐Ÿ’œ

Anyone know if Can Can Concealment went out of business?

My wife has the garter holster from there and she loves it.

But when I check today I canโ€™t find their website and any links I find don't take me there. the only phone number I could find is disconnected.

There are a lot of things in life for which you cannot directly prepare. Sometimes you cannot foresee the timing. Sometimes you are blindsided by the whole circumstance.

It is in times like these that we are dependent on the work we have already done and the foundations we have built.

The relationships you form and the community you build. The mental and physical strength. The conditioning of heart, mind, and soul.

It is these things that get you through. It is upon these things that we rely when the unforeseen arrives.

Prepare with wisdom, not fear.

Learn to use the tools now, while questions can be easily asked and teachers are available.

Prepare with wisdom, not fear.

Just listed my podcast on nostr:npub1yfg0d955c2jrj2080ew7pa4xrtj7x7s7umt28wh0zurwmxgpyj9shwv6vg and testing this link. Preview in Primal shows a 404 error but putting it in a browser works fine. https://www.wavlake.com/show/the-lots-project-podcast

Works when I try the link on Primal app on iOS.
