Homesteading

I enjoy watching YouTube videos, especially those I can learn from, but too often YouTubers make mistakes and give bad advice. Use discretion.

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

After looking at Rottweilers and investigating a few other breeds, we have selected a large livestock guardian dog for our homestead companion.

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

Our first experience at raising chickens continues to go well. These ladies are about halfway to early adulthood and should be laying in a couple months.

I don't want to live on grains an greens alone. I am a omnivore unless given the opportunity to be a carnivore. But that's difficult to accommodate when prepping.

The Western U.S. is experiencing a record-setting drought. How can you survive if your water source dries up? What options are there?

After a month, the garage had started to smell, well, like chickens. Or maybe chicken poop. The time had come to move them into their permanent home.

We got off to a slow start back in mid-March and the weather wasn't the most cooperative, but we've finally finished building the chicken coop.

We may have small stock, but its keeping us busy! From feeding the bees to cleaning chicks with pasty butt, it's all part of a day in the life of a homseteader.
