We face our second hurricane in two weeks, prepare for cooler temperatures and ready our bees to get through the winter.

Our new dog is so quiet, there are times we forget we own her, but when necessary, she rose to the occasion with a deep bark.

It's finally time to harvest some honey and see how our bees performed this year.

While there are plenty of urban preppers, it is the hardest place to prep with the lowest expected survival outcome. in a long-term SHTF disaster.

Adding a good-size dog to our prepper property has been a goal of mine since Day One.

I didn't expect to harvest any honey this year, our first with the hives, but just 60 days later, we pulled our first frame of honey from one of the hives.

After looking at Rottweilers and investigating a few other breeds, we have selected a large livestock guardian dog for our homestead companion.

The wealthy may have their tropical islands, missile silo condos, ammunition bunkers and other escape plans, but you can you can prep on far less.

We added two raised beds as we continue to build infrastructure to support a more self-sufficient lifestyle.

I don't want to live on grains an greens alone. I am a omnivore unless given the opportunity to be a carnivore. But that's difficult to accommodate when prepping.
