If you want to live off the grid but are having a hard time finding all you think you might need to get started, may we suggest Lehman's Hardware Store of Ohio? The people are friendly, the stock is immense, then you are bound to find something new and exciting!

We rather liked that the kids seemed to be just as interested in everything the Lehman’s associate showed them as their parents! And how many stores do you of that actually have their own museum as well as ten kinds of well pumps and drinking ladles?

While this may not be the cure for not having a Disneyland it certainly goes a long way in making the homesteader and prepper excited for the future of their passion! It's the little things that will make life after the SHTF tolerable and even a little … electrifying!
