Homesteading

Fixing my electric fence meant tearing it down, installing larger insulators, and almost starting from scratch. But it was a learning experience.

As the supply chain crumbles and threatens to collapse, you can take steps to ensure your personal supply chain is in better shape.

We are working to make fall plantings, clean up the homestead, stock up, and generally make sure we are ready for winter.

Apparently 30 million working-age men are managing to survive without a paycheck. Here's how they do it and what you can learn from them.

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.

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.
