Hey there, Pack. I hope you have had a successful week of prepping. The way things are going with the continued violent protests in cities across America and the presidential election less than 100 days away, we all need to be battening down the hatches to prepare ourselves for just about anything. We spend a lot of the week in…
Hello Pack. I hope you all have had a safe and productive week of prepping. Our hay bale stack fell over in the pole barn. As you can see by the photo above, it was quite a mess to deal with, and involved baling hay a second time to get it from loose to nice and tight so it will…
Hello Pack, I hope you are all safe, doing well, and busy prepping. Our barnyard of critters have taken to the new goat additions quite wonderfully. My Bobby surprised me with three new guineas this week. It is hard to tell what 2020 still has in store for us. Odds are, the rioting and pandemic panic being pushed by the…
Hello Pack. Our new beehive is thriving. They have already filled out five frames in the top box we added on. The Italian bees are so docile neither of us are wearing the bee suit when doing weekly checks and water refills. After complaining about rain for months on end, we are, of course, now praying for rain. So goes…
Hello Pack. I hope you are all getting by alright in this heat. We baled hay for two days and it did not get below 92 degrees either day. Needless to say, my suntan looks like I just spent a week in Florida. Before baling hay on Saturday, my daughter and I took a four hour early A.M. round trip…
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 are all doing well. We spent the weekend working on firewood ,and harvesting some standing timber that needed removed to make space for an ongoing project. I hope everyone has stayed safe during all of this riot insanity. If anyone can figure out how trashing your own town and the businesses that employ people help…
