Hey y'all. Just wanted to remind you that we're hosting the first Summit Council meeting here at Prescott a week from today. Anyone who wants to speak on a topic has the floor for five minutes, but you do get points for brevity. We all gotta sit through everyone's. If anyone has talking points in mind already, might be a good idea to coordinate and match up with other people and work on presentations together. [...] As a secondary reminder we are supposed to be on the issue of creating a government of sorts, but we won't be moderating topics ahead of time.

Semi-relatedly we're doing food pot luck style if anyone wants to say what they're bringing.

I got the truck back, by the way. Good hiding spot.

I mean sure but I was thinking like… planning operations TO SCALE. Instead of every woman for herself makin soap.

Anyone can come to watch lesson. Lundegaard does not produce enough carrier fat to make soap to scale for the whole Quad, however. You will have to source that on your own.

Gotta think about where to get GREASY

Yes. Rendered animal fat or scavenged oils or shortenings will work. You could also technically use fish oil but it will retain an unpleasant smell.

Ah dang. It’s really hard to scavenge anything for scale, not reliably.

And dangerous for you, I would have to think. Perhaps we can establish a regular trade with another nearby farming community.

We kinda have a farm. And you guys kinda have a farm. Is that enough farm?

[…] Maybe. I am unsure how many hogs and lamb we intend to take this season. We just lost a quarter of our flock to the storm.

But I will set aside as much tallow as we can spare. And you should keep any left over cooking oil or grease.
