Yes Ajax, I should suppose that CH and myself are the guilty parties in question. Actually I am having a similar problem to SS in that I have developed a tea habit that I have trouble with due to the frail intensity of American tea bags. Our tea is so weak one must use two bags to know you are drinking anything!

Due to my habit of watching UK travel videos excessively during the lockdown I have also developed a quite alarming habit of driving on the wrong side of the road. It does not bother me too much but it scares the neighbors $h!tle$$.

The thing is that CH and I are not your average urban dwelling US preppers. We are out in the deep rural areas already living in what would be a BOL for most folk. I am in the rolling hills in the north Bluegrass region, north of a place called Lexington, KY. If you dropped me anywhere between Carlisle and Inverness I would think I was on my way to the grocery down the road.

CH is farther to my east in an area called West Virginia. That area is like the Black Mountains on steroids. Similar flora and fauna but the hills are jutting up about 1800 meters. They call it ridge and valley geography. Everything is straight up and down. When I was hiking on the AT years ago the urban adventurers referred to it as "the green hell".

You will find that CH and I might disagree with some premises or statistics or scope of world events but we will not be telling you to do things our way. That will be up to your own discretions.

You can be wrong if you wish to.

Kentucky, eh? Good horses and good grass. Thankfully you are in a pretty good spot unless...I dunno...Armageddon, in which case we're all done, mate lol Best not worry too much and enjoy.
I ascribe zero blame but I'd watch that tea nonsense. I wasn't there and so I cannot say but apparently my lot are evil, white colonial types and the Queen got her green reptile claws on a lot of the planet ... and then they tried to invade an area where tea grows and allegedly the empire (wasn't that star wars?) queendom (sounds like lezzb*** pron) ... Technical difficulties ... erm the dreaded white monsters got a good bum-smack because they were all tea-soaked and the whole thing (umpire, empire or whatever) fell apart like a violently-drenched rick tea finger. A big soggy mess all round and best avoided.
Driving on the 'wrong side' of the road is never wrong providing you have the bigger truck. Pickup, ute or flat bed - I have pals in USA and Australia and it is amazing how much confusion can be caused by one single word - especially as we all speak the same language, allegedly Just a joke and no offence is intended, friend.
We are gonna go great guns when talking wild forage as you correctly state that many of our plants will be the same but may have a funky name. I'd love to hear your best wild forages and recipes.
I hope we should ALL disagree on some things. We are adults though and we can keep it civil and we can all learn something form us all, I hope.

My very best to you and your family.
