Homesteading

Whether you prep slowly, a little at a time, or in big batches doesn't matter as much as being prepared when the SHTF. Here's what I did this week.

My first experienced butchering a chicken turned out to be more of a challenge than I expected. But it was a valuable experience.

Chickens can provide a daily supply of healthy eggs at a price that is hard to beat. Plus, you won't be affected by an egg shortage.

Winter finally arrives at the homestead with temperatures in the twenties and a few inches of snow. More cold is expected.

We celebrate Christmas at home and take it easy over the weekend.

Will the world as we know it come crashing down because of supply chain shortages? It's certainly possible as shortages may persist for years.

There is always some outside work waiting to be done. Why not do it when the weather is warm and the sun is shining?

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.
