Preparedness in Action: Game Processing, Land Management, and Garden Plans

**What does real preparedness actually look like?** This week on *Wednesdays with Wayne*, Wayne Rankin returns to The Joe Rooz Show for a wide-ranging conversation about putting practical preparedness into action. Wayne shares the story of Rosanna harvesting her first deer with a bow, what it takes to process and preserve wild game, and how hunting fits into a larger self-reliant lifestyle. From there, the conversation moves through food storage, fishing, foraging, propane, equipment, firearms, forestry, logging and managing the natural resources available on the property. Wayne also takes us into the woods, where Rosanna demonstrates some of the forestry work underway on the property and explains how removing overcrowded and unhealthy trees can open the forest floor, reduce hazards and create opportunities for new growth. It’s a wild, funny and practical hour that illustrates one of the central ideas behind *Wednesdays with Wayne*: preparedness isn't simply about buying supplies and putting them on a shelf. It's about developing the skills, knowledge and experience to **produce, repair, harvest, preserve and adapt** when circumstances demand it.
