This is the mess that is getting tore down and cleaned up for my “re-villaging” project.
These three buildings will be removed, then the lot will get tilled, compost, wood chips and peat added, and get refenced. It will be a little late for gardening this season at this latitude, but it will be nice soil by next spring. 
I tried to zap you for this, but your Lightening address is zonked.
Absolutely. My advice is to stick with the classic cartridges that have stood the test of time. A .30 caliber 150 gr bullet starting at 2700 feet per second has been a benchmark for well over a century. The .30/06 and the upstart .308 both meet this threshold handily.
I have experience with all three. They are classics for a reason.
I have considered .243 Winchester for smaller game and .375 Holland and Holland for the larger predators.
I plan to hunt every thing from antelope to moose, with the occasional woodchuck and prairie dog.

I call it Front Porch Nationalism. If I can’t see it or hear it from my front porch, it probably is out of my control and not worth wasting time, energy, or mental bandwidth on. If I can see or hear it, my interested (and those of my immediate neighbors) are served by dealing with it one way or the other.
If everyone adopted this policy, our neighborhoods (and states and nation) would all be better for it.
Clearly someone tried to wipe the signal. Is it possible to hide a QR code in plain sight- like in a facial picture or other innocent image adjacent to the “real” QR code?
An okay article that describes the concept: https://www.epicgardening.com/hugelkultur-raised-bed/
My plan is a series of trench about 18x18” and 16’ long. The stumps and large brush will fill the trench, the grass and straw will mound about 18” high above ground.
Some beds will have climbing fence installed for vining crops, some will have slats to help break the wind and provide some shade as needed.
They can be any size- a garden I have looked at nearby has 16’ long beds with plants on a width of maybe 18”. Those are setup as shallow beds, maybe 18” deep.
Many are several feet deep by the time the three layers are consolidated.
Sure, conversation is good. Hugo culture is a mulch bed that tends to hold water, and slowly release nutrients over time.
It is a triangular layer system- large wood stumps in the bottom, brush and branches above, then grass clippings and straw on top. This is watered so there is reduced air space, then plants are inserted into the lop layer.
There are above ground Hugo beds and and below ground trench Hugo beds- the latter are better for dry windier climates such as Montana.
This is a personal project- I am not trying to do CSA or anything like it.
The order to the demolition crew is to leave a bare lot, except for the tree which is in one corner. One should always leave healthy trees, especially on the high desert of this area.
A man who plants a tree provides shade for his sons. A man who preserves a tree provides shade for his grandsons.
#[3] Why are you so worried about recession? It seems like net economic health is better under when a dollar buys more.
I am contributing to the reverse gentrification (maybe villagefication, is that a word?) of a rural town.
I bought a foreclosed house on a few lots, and am tearing it down. Once the lots are bare, top soil will be added, irrigation installed, and some hugoculture beds built. With this space, a degree of food stability will be achieved, while reducing the inventory of junk houses and buildings in the town.

Why worry about countries settling debts in yuan or dollars? Work towards countries settling payments in BTC or sats.
