HOW'S YOUR WEEK GOING?

 

LIVING TINY

I've been getting settled into my tiny house (350 square feet.) I have a
teeny tiny kitchen without all the usual accouterments and it's
definitely an adaptation. I have an apartment-sized refrigerator with a
tiny freezer, a 2-burner convection stovetop, a toaster oven, a coffee
maker, and a microwave that came with the place. I left anything that
isn't multipurpose in storage and my only other kitchen appliance is an
Instapot that does all sorts of magic. (8 different ways to cook with
it, I think?)

The house also came with a dishwasher. Personally, I'd rather have had a
clothing washer but such is life as a renter. At least going to the
laundromat I can get everything done at once.

Adaptation is good for us as preppers. When we are flexible it's a lot
easier for us to roll with life's punches. And I think there are very
few of us who haven't taken a punch of some sort lately.

The thing about adaptability is that if you don't use it you lose it. We
all get stuck in a rut from time to time. I'm not suggesting you all
need to meander around the country, but you should seriously consider
shaking things up in your life just a little bit. Try a new skill or a
new setting that is outside your normal comfort zone. It will help you
grow and become a better prepper.

One thing I'm really enjoying about being back east is TREES. My place
feels like a treehouse in a forest and although I'm definitely not
complaining about spending nearly a year living at the beach, there's
nothing like the smell of the forest after a good hard rain. And
speaking of rain, hearing it on the roof of my loft bedroom is so
soothing after only having rain 2-3 times the whole time I was in
Mexico.

Every morning I sit on those steps and watch my dogs get tangled up
around the trees. I keep thinking they'll figure out how to untangle
themselves, but no luck thus far. We humans do this too. When we're
within our problems it can seem impossible to figure out how to unravel
them. Sometimes it takes an outside perspective. I hope that you all
have a person you can talk to for that perspective.

 

THE TAINTED TRUTH EFFECT

I was sent this paper on the societal effects of "fact-checkers.
" While It
started out in a promising way...

Our findings suggest general warnings of misinformation should be
avoided as indiscriminate use can reduce the credibility of valid news
sources and lead individuals to discard useful information.

...but it went downhill in a hurry.

Valid warnings of misinformation tend to originate from professional
third-party organizations, target information that is actually
misleading, and reduce the spread and acceptance of misinformation. For
example, FactCheck.org, PolitiFact, and the Washington Post's Fact
Checker are all organizations that investigate the veracity of claims
made by political figures and news organizations, operate year-round,
and view themselves as a distinct professional cohort within journalism
guided by rules and norms (Graves 2016
).
Warnings originating from these organizations tend to be precise and
issued neutrally.

"Precise" and "neutral."

We're going to have to face the fact that coexistence is nearly
impossible when people can't even recognize blatant bias. I'm all for
getting along - truly - but there are a lot of folks out there that
don't want to get along with those of other views of the world.

It seems like the only answer is alternate platforms, alternate banks,
alternate hosting services, heck, an alternate internet.

All of this "fact-checking" leads straight to the Dunning-Kruger effect,
which I wrote about here a few years back
. Heck,
things are WAY crazier now than they were then.

To be quite honest, I find being "debunked" by Politifact and Snopes to
be a badge of honor
.
Especially when they're so bad at it.

It's groups like this who got the website defunded and it's positively
Orwellian.

A CHEAPER WAY TO EAT ORGANIC

After nearly dying of sticker shock at the grocery store upon my return
from Mexico, I decided to try Misfit Market
.  This is a
company that works directly with organic growers, packages your produce,
and brings it straight to your door once a week. I did some comparing
and the prices I paid were less than conventional grocery store produce
- and a whole lot fresher too.

They also carry some pantry staples, high-quality meat and seafood, and
dairy product. The items that are available differ from week to week. My
order above was $30 and change, shipping included.

If you want to try it, use my code to get $10 off your first order.

They don't deliver everywhere but if you are out of their zone, be sure
to get on their waiting list because this is a business that is
expanding quickly.

What I'm Doing to Prep This Week

Now that the tiny house is unpacked and somewhat organized I've started
building a stockpile. I have some buckets that were in my
climate-controlled storage unit, and I've been grabbing grocery store
goods too, like rice, pasta, canned goods, etc. I feel much better
having that in my little storage loft. I'm also a couple of bags ahead
on dog food.

You may wonder where I'm putting all this stuff in a tiny house. They're
so well designed that every nook and cranny is put to work. The sofa is
a built-in bench with a twin bed mattress on it and large, deep drawers
underneath. There are drawers built into the steps, drawers built into
the bed, and a loft that is tall enough to sit up in that I'd really
rather not sleep in. I'm using that space for food, water, and other
preps, since I'm going to be here for 6 months.

Storage furniture and creative use of empty spaces is my first tip for
those living in small homes.

I also got some cool magnetized spice jars that stick to my fridge,
saving valuable counter/cupboard space, and I put a table top on my
dog's crate to be able to use that surface as well.  I'll post more
pics as I get more organized.
