Actually many people in the cities have chickens now.
Actually I spend about 8 months a year as a citiot living at the cottage. I fish about 150 days a year. Hunt for deer every year for a week with a gun , and the rest of the time, bear and deer with a x-bow. Some may know , one of my sons is a licensed trapper. Because of hockey and curling commitments and the fact that the cottage is on an island we only go up 4 or 5 times during freeze up. When not able to go fishing up there, I fill in the need to fish by going to my local Lake Ontario tributaries, rivers and streams for anything. My house backs onto conservation lands that contain a trout filled creek. I go to Simcoe ice fishing 5-6 times a season. I feed the deer over my back fence with pumpkins and my kitchen compost. I have a game camera up and over the years have recognized many deer as they grow. And ...I have chickens.
Both of you should come out for some jumbo perch fishing. [emoji106]
We should have a meet and greet on Simcoe one day . Obviously not this year but sometime in the future. Get a bunch of members have a nice BBQ on the ice with fresh fish .
Always a blast

Yup, I always take the ling home that others don't want, love it. My favorite is whitefish, followed by catfish, then Simcoe candy-perch.
Do you mean like this?

A question for the preppers. How much fuel do you keep on hand to run generators? The reason I ask is if we have a complete power outage for any length of time, once your out of fuel, then what is the plan.
This was well covered in this thread:

Speaking for myself, I have a small Honda 2000 and another old 1500 run by an Briggs n Statton. The 1500 I wouldn't even consider running long term. I don't plan to run the household on the Honda, I'm already set up at my cabin to not need electricity and at my home, I would just drain the plumbing to save the water system. (I am rural, running off a jet pump.) As for gas, I would only use the gen set to keep the freezer going for a few weeks, running intermittently. At any given time, I usually have 4-6 cans of gas (80-120 litres). If the grid was still down and no gas available when I was about half through my supply, I would begin emptying the freezer and preserving what I could.
