Autumn is bringing us rain, but also apples, hunting, and before long, fires in the wood stove to keep us warm.

I've never installed an electric fence before, and it showed. Sometimes watching YouTube can't replace trial and error.

We face our second hurricane in two weeks, prepare for cooler temperatures and ready our bees to get through the winter.

A county crew was working on the dirt road leading up our mountain Thursday, so we went out to thank them and chatted for...

Adding a good-size dog to our prepper property has been a goal of mine since Day One.

We added two raised beds as we continue to build infrastructure to support a more self-sufficient lifestyle.
