In our second year on the homestead, the progress we have made from last year is evident. We have not realized its full potential, but we are underway.

It's a good idea to uses your tools and preps in the real world before you need them. You might have picked the wrong tool for the job.

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.

It's good to stockpile and prep, but it is also imporant to plan and think things out. When the SHTF, the time for toughtful decisions has passed.

Every prepper has goals, and then we have dreams, fantasies about all the cool gear we'd like to have. If only.

There's more to being a prepper than storing food; to be truly self-sufficient, you have to be able to fix things yourself.

Its been on the news for days before it finally manifested, the winter had such high winds I consider it to have been a blizzard. And it's not over yet.

We lived with empty shelves after the panic buying of early 2020, but shortages today are caused by supply chain issues, not panic.
