    The picture is not me riding it, I have to keep my wife in shape too.



    Next thing I will be using it for is my Roller/Flaker for making oatmeal or beer if you are so inclined. I am also going to use it for the generator. So a bike is good for shtf.

    well now i don't feel so bad. I actually keep a spare older mt bike at work. It's locked up outside and i just rotate it to a new bike rack every few months. It was that or donate it to Goodwill. Figure something is better than nothing. Depends on how fast SHTF a few hours could make some type of difference.

    It is made by GrainMaker. They are made in America by Americans. Pricey? yes, but a lifetime warranty and a super quality product. And the warranty is transferable. I recently sold our smaller mill. It was broken in transit to the new owner by USPS (who still hasnt paid the insurance claim yet). They said "send it back" The new owner sent it back and they just gave him a new one. We also have the roller/flaker also. Which is good for making oatmeal or beer and a multitude of other things.

    For someone who might only want one for SHTF, there are cheaper options. but not better. not even close.

    Oooof. And I thought the Country Living mill was on the expensive side.

    one of my personal requirements for a mill was NO CAST PARTS. The country living mill had cast parts. I wanted to know that if it broke and if the company went out of business, I could easily weld a needed repair or have a machine shop make a new part.

    They are expensive, but if you use it forever and it lasts that long, its not too bad. If you buy it, try it a couple times and pack it away, it would be very expensive.
