Today I am joined by Charles the Humble Mechanic and John Willis of Special Operations Equipment to discuss getting your business house in order no matter what the current environment. Reminder: Member Webinar this coming Sunday: Assessing Your Property for Microclimates with Kerry Brown, Sign Up The show is growing as a resource for improving your life, homesteading, and self reliance. Language happens New Wednesday format Extra Show this week Stump the Sauce This isn't really a stump the Sauce question but can you talk more about vacuum bagging your dressed chickens? Pros, cons, and maybe what to look for like the size for whole birds, and what else you've found it useful for. I know these machines are expensive and you are the only person I have ever heard even mention them on any show I listen to. Love the show and your coffee made great Christmas gifts. Keep up the good work.
