As I flipped through the magazine I came across this section called, "Unearth..." In this section people submit a type of classified add with requests that are normally for ideas for gardening, pen pals, etc. For example one read:
"I was wondering if anyone has any ideas for uses of leftover baler twine form my hay bales. maybe some kind of craft? I use what I can, where I can, but usually end up burning it, which is a waste. Thanks for any help"

I then came across this entry and couldn't pick myself up from the floor I was laughing so hard. It was entitled: Middle of Nowhere.
"We've always dreamed of living like the Ingalls family on "Little House on the Prairie." Not long ago, we sold everything and left city life in new Jersey behind, moving to West Virginia with only the clothes on our backs. The home we bought is nonelectric, and there's no water yet. Does anyone have any information on how to: dig and build a well, install plumbing via hand pump, build a homemade generator, build a homemade windmill, or waterwheel. or other information on homesteading? We have six acres in the middle of the woods.

Feel free to help these folks out if you have knowledge of any of these unusual tasks.

Mental note: Learn how to dig a well BEFORE you move out into the middle of nowhere. Just an idea. haha Have you watched the Alaskan Experiment? I have the same thought. Why wait until you are starving to look into the skills needed to gut a rabbit? Surely they could foresee the problem?
I know that's right...fore thought and a little planning folks, that's all.
