Hello Pack. Happy Independence Day, and Happy 4th of July! With everything going on in our country right now, it is more important than ever, both as Americans and preppers, to remain keenly aware of this nations’ past and focus on preserving the greatest nation in the world for future generations. Being concerned about what kind of country we will…
Hello Pack. We have had weird Ohio weather this week, but still managed to get a lot of prepping done. Bobby’s new workshop is coming along well. He is going to pour a concrete pad, and then place three shipping containers on it in a “U” shape. A porch on the front of each long side of the “U” will…
Hello Pack. I hope you all have had a very productive week of prepping this week. Our wheat crop is coming along nicely, we are going to devote more space to cultivating red winter wheat in the fall. Our bee colony is thriving, and we had to expand their hive box to add on the second box already. I am…
Hello Pack. This summer weather has been glorious, and allowed us to get a lot of work done on the survival retreat. Getting in enough warm and sunny days in-between rainy ones has truly been a challenge this year… again. Bobby spent a lot of the weekend doing survival-related training, which gave Brea and I time to get his birthday…

Hello Pack. I hope you all have been enjoying some great spring weather like we have this week. The weather guy was wrong again, and we did not have horrible bouts of rain all week. My sore body and aching muscles are a result of all the decent weather we finally had in my neck of the woods – but…
Hello Pack. True spring weather has finally arrived in our part of Ohio. There is no guarantee it will last long, but I’m going to make the most of it while it does. Usually we do not trust the weather not to throw down one last hard frost until Memorial Day, but we went ahead and did more planting this…
Hello Pack, hope you all have had a productive week of prepping and stayed healthy and safe. The weather in my part of Ohio was three seasons rolled into one. Ohio weather is always crazy but this is getting ridiculous. We had one day of summer, a few of spring, and then witner reappeared. I am beyond tired of covering…
Hello Pack, I hope everyone is well – and Thor1 has been heard from. It does not take long for the absence of any follower of this column to be felt, that is for sure. Folks looking out for one another, in my mind, is what prepping really is all about. One of my prepping mentors, Survivor Jane, likes to…
