We're actually cutting down a fruit tree this year. Tired of apples squished in the lawn (and even more tired of picking them up). They also attract rabbits, which we don't need. Watching the drunken birds stumbling through the flower bed is funny, though.

Arg! Sorry to hear that. I always take note of apple trees as I'm driving and watch the progress through the season. I'll snag any fruit I can reach that's not on "their" side of the fence.

Kills me to see food go to waste.

More damn ammo...

More canned goods and canning supplies, bigger garden area.

I have a giant walnut tree in my front yard. Just have to fight off the Squirrels and Bluejays. But I've already tested and proven I can easily trap the limb rats. Small and tough, but tasty if seasoned well.

More live traps and leg traps. Living on Hood Canal provides a pretty damn good source of food in fish and shellfish.

Build a small windmill to power a reliable battery charger.

And improve my means to draw water out of my well by hand pump.

I definitely need to increase my water storage and add more buckets of food that we currently use. I'm working on building a more complete medical kit as well as adding more ammo!
I also need to get my shed finished for the storage room and stack up the firewood from the trees we cut down this last summer.

Unfortunately, most of my extra funds right now are going to securing the few remaining items on my "want" list before the new law hits in June, but after that, my focus will be shifting.
