Homesteading

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?"

This is a perfect example of why you should never let your guard down. The bears showed up two days after I had relaxed because our mystery visitor was just a raccoon.

Sometimes things go bump in the night. Sometimes the dog barks and we don't know why. Then I saw a pair of glowing eyes in the distance.

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

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.
