Prepper Diary

After a recent renaissance in which cities where THE place to be, people are now fleeing large, urban areas and are desperate to buy rural property.

We put some miles on the truck and some wind in our hair as we cruised the back roads in search of beekeeping equipment.

As a blast of cold weather rolls Eastward, we fall back onto old winter habits and prep for possible snow fall.

Ever wonder what a prepper stores at their survival retreat? We visited our retreat and here's a look at the supplies we cached there.

The winter is almost over and we have not used our wood stove for a week, but that doesn't stop the firewood deliveries.

More sunny weather allowed us to make substantial progress on our chicken coop yesterday. We expect to pick up with roofing late next week.

The yellow blooms of forsythia in the valley below us herald the coming of spring, but our mountain locations keeps it at bay.

Warm, dry weather means its time to work outdoors, so we recently picked up where we had left off with the garden fencing project.

Despite the recent warm weather, we find that winter is not over as temperatures turn colder and fog heralds the arrival of rain and snow.

When we went to pick up the bee hive components I had ordered, we found a source for local queens and bees to help our hive start off strong.
