I've owned shotguns for decades and shot thousands of rounds, but I've never used it on the homestead like this before.

If the ships stop sailing, how long will you be able to keep your generator, chain saw, or other small engines running?

An unexpected warm spell presented the perfect opportunity to get some work done on the chicken coop and beehives.

One year in, we would move from the city to the mountains again. If you are looking to go rural, maybe you can benefit from our experiences.

The leaves are gone, and temperatures in the 20s are expected. Looks like the last of the warm weather is behind us.

As fall comes to a close, its time to winterize the homestead and make sure the livestock is protected from snow, wind, and cold weather.

It's full fledged autumn here. The leaves are falling, the temperatures are dropping, and we're getting ready for winter. Are you ready for a "dark winter?"

Raising rabbits produces meat rapidly and inexpensively. They take up little room and an be raised almost anywhere, making them perfect for preppers.
