I had some spinach in the garden that was still green when I cleaned out the garden last year, so I left it in just to see what it would do. Come to find out that spinach is a biennial, so it’s perfectly happy to live through the winter if it’s not too harsh of […]
Firearms Basics Part 3: Long Gun Actions
Today we’re going to cover long gun actions. The Action is the part of the gun that manipulates the ammunition. It secures the cartridge for firing, then ejects the casing to load the next round. (We’re using firearm lingo already–if you have any questions, please ask!) There are manual actions, where you have to move […]
Amazing
Couple of quick chicken updates. The kids and I went out last evening to toss the chickens in their house (the kids actually really enjoy this) and were shocked to find them all already IN the house (with the door still open). Strange. The kids were sure dad had snuck out before us and put […]

The Chicks Plot Their Escape . . . And So Do We
I feel like I’ve been slacking a bit on posting lately, but to be honest with you, I don’t know how any of you have time to read my posts anyway! Spring is in full force here with the garden, yard work, Tball, school programs, field trips, someone needs a lunch packed, someone else needs […]
No Catch Up Post Yet, But . . .
Crazy busy here, but I’m tossing up a quick post with a link to one great survivalist site. Amazing amount of information on it and if you have more time than I do, you can spend some over at MD Creekmore’s site. :) “Recommended site: The Survivalist Blog – Live better, live Cheaper and survive […]
Survival Seeds–9 years Later
Check out my post at Utah Preppers for some important information for anybody storing Survival Seeds. Mine were sealed in a can with an oxygen absorber and kept relatively cool and definitely dry throughout their storage. They are 9 years old, and I’m planting them this year and have a few results already. Read the […]
