The “almost famous” weekly preps series, where Tara Dodrill shares her latest prepping and homesteading progress with the Pack, and with anyone else who wants to be inspired on his or her homesteading journey.
Hello Pack. I hope none of you are snowed in – or if you are, are enjoying the heck out of being home, and away from the rest of the world for a while. I have completely lost track of how many inches of snow we have gotten this week. Other than plowing the driveway … Read more
Hello Pack. I hope you all have had a productive week of prepping and are keeping warm. There seemed no end to the snow for a week here in southern Ohio. It is supposed to hit 40 for the next few days – turning all of our snow and ice to mud, and giving us … Read more
Hello Pack. I hope everyone has had a good week of winter prepping. We have had a roller coaster weather ride, going from unseasonably warm, a couple of inches of snow – and yet more mud than ever before on our survival retreat. I am so sick of dealing with mud. As much as I … Read more
Hello Pack. I hope you all have stayed warm this week. We have had a constant ebb and flow of a little snow, freezing (Yeah – hard ground to walk upon!) and then mud – lots of mud. During the winter we do not do a lot of outdoor prepping because the wood and hay … Read more
Hello Pack. I hope you all had a productive week of prepping.

Happy New Year Pack! I hope you all have enjoyed putting 2020 to bed and welcomed the new year surrounded by loved ones. All of the holiday rushing around and family gatherings (yes, we ignored Governor DeWine’s order and celebrated Christmas as we normally would … to no ill consequences) are behind us now, allowing … Read more
Hey everyone, Since Tara is taking the week off, I wanted to write a quick “weekly preps” post for the week, to thank you for being part of the TSB community, and to wish you a Merry Christmas! As 2020 has shown us, worldwide chaos can easily take over, changing the way we live our … Read more
Merry Christmas, Pack. I hope you are gathered with loved ones and celebrating the joy of the season. 2020 sure has been one hell of a year. I would like to hope it was not merely a coming attraction trailer for what 2021 has in store – but with Joe Biden looking more like he … Read more
Hello, Pack. It has been the busiest week ever here on our survival homestead. Not only did we celebrate another anniversary here on our dream land (which is exciting enough on its own) but my huge farmhouse table out of reclaimed barnwood and handhewn timbers is nearly done. And that’s not all … The survival … Read more
