Anybody buying new stuff for the upcoming season? I splurged on some new climbing sticks with a top step platform, a new adjustable bridge for my saddle, and been practicing with my new bow all summer. Need to get some arrows built and tuned. Can't wait to get in the tree! No matter how much...

Been up late nights lately. Got on a fermenting kick. Started with a couple small batches to work on my recipes.

Last night we received an amazing gift our our little boy. 9lb 9oz and healthy as can be. What else can a guy ask for :)

Anyone have one of these they never use anymore? I would like to purchase one. My group of folks are looking to go 2m and that one was recommended to me for some reason above my pay grade and knowledge base.

I have found myself in need of a tractor. Not sure if it's in the budget yet but I would love to be educated. Mainly I will need one to lift what I can't lift, dig what I don't want to dig by hand, brush hog what I don't want to clear, and some light tilling. Forks, front loader, bush hog, and...

So, not really an expert on greenhouses. I have a nice spot in the backyard for one. Gonna measure out footage shortly. But, I have questions. How big of a greenhouse should I try to get and maintain? Family of 2 with a baby on the way to supplement longterm storage foods with fresh goods. If I...

Any saddle hunters on here? No, not equine saddles. Tree saddles. Starting out this year. I'll come back later with explanations if I'm bringing up something new.

Well, stress has diminished greatly. My brothers trial has concluded with a very justified NOT GUILTY verdict :)!!! I really couldn't talk about it much until the trial concluded but the gist of it was it was a bad shoot by law enforcement. My brother fortunately lived through the event...

Well, I haven't been too active here in the past couple months as I was tired of not living the homesteading life this community was designed to support. Kinda felt a little off hanging around as a suburban prepper with not one chicken to my name :). This is about to change. While not moving...

Okay, I got ripped apart for this elsewhere but nobody was able to explain the reasoning as to why this was a bad idea. Be gentle as I admit I know zero about child car seats and safety. My daily driver is a 2 door jeep wrangler. I took out the back seat because I hate it and prefer to have...

Guess we dont have to wait for shtf to consider feral dogs a threat. This was mentioned in a recent thread but I couldn't remember which one so just posted the story here...

Happened in Zimbabwe years ago now SA follows the path. Worried for my family there. The gov takes their guns (unsuccessfully in the case of more than a few) and now their land. Sad situation...

Looks like they may be going for language that can be used in the future to go after more than bump stocks.

Don't know how many are keeping up with what's going on in SA. Cape town in particular. Severe water shortage has lead to water rationing and the situation is actually pretty serious if they don't get rain soon. They are about a month or so away from the taps running dry. I have been talking...

I'm not going to put up the recipe yet as I'm still playing with this but I'll post a pic of the loaf. Ordered Einkorn wheat berries. Sprouted them for 11 hours till the sprout nubbin was just peaking out. Then I dried them in the dehydrator for about 30 min. I don't have a grain mill (yet) so...

So, my mother-in-laws b day is the 23rd of December. Our holidays include her b day dinner for wifes fam, xmas eve with my fam, and a christmas brunch with wife fam on the day. All without eating the same meal 3 times in a row. Goose xmas eve, turkey/ham xmas brunch. So, Im doing game hens for...

So a while back we canned some soup and it was awful. In trying to find the issue we were told that when canning you reduce the amount of spices and herbs because pressire canning intensifies the flavor of such things. Gonna make some venison stew today and I want to can some of it. Any...

Guess Im here too now :)

Figured Id stop by and see what this spot was all about :).
