Excellent story and lesson for all to heed Vic. Sounds like everyone is getting their priorities straight out your way. Its good being in a small, tight knit community. Nothing better. I've been both the helper and helpee in similar situations many times over. People are beginning to wake up to the fact that when the SHTF you need good neighbors who you can count on and who can count on you. It will be a rude awakening for those who naively think they can do it all on their own. You never know when you'll need the help of someone with a big knife. Best to get in their good graces well before that time comes.

The beer was good, but I would never make light of the importance of community building and looking out for one another. You can't do it all yourself.
Horned, dangerous, and off my medication.

Always good to have neighbors you can depend on in a pinch. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I am kind of disappointing that you did not use the chopper to cut an access door in to the shed wall, an air hole if the roof, and generally put out the fire with the blade--you had to use buckets of water?
Just kiddin and congrats for doing a good thing.
May offer to help when it is time to slaughter the chickens--something tells me you have just the right tool!

A good deed! Which knife did you use to cut the greenery? I am thinking of the Boy Scout motto as I pen this. The lesson here is to be ready & willing to assist in the time of need. We can't do it all by ourselves. Cooperation and willingness to help a neighbor is probably more 'Christian' than you know. A multi-corded strand is not easily broken.
