    Hello Folks, I want to feed rabbit ears, feet, liver and heart to my dog and cat but I'm worried that they would go crazy when they see my live rabbits and try to jump at their cages and bark more at them because he wants to eat them. Do i just rinse it and that's all? or do i need to soak it...

  5. Farming, Gardening & Homesteading
    I started looking at land about 8 years ago, at the time I couldn't afford anything - and I've been preparing to go off grid for about 12 years. For a while now it has seemed that the cost of land has simply risen too high for me to be able to buy any, but I've continued searching anyway. Just...

    I though we need something fun to read It is to funny not to post. I found it hillarious how they thougth it would not be hard work to live in smaller town but more rewarding. Small town is not for everyone. But some find it rewarding and other find it terrifiing...
  7. Farming, Gardening & Homesteading
    I have a pretty decent seed supply. There were a few things I wanted to add, and wasn't about to wait for spring. I particularly wanted some Blue Hubbard winter squash. Most of the retailers were sold out. I stumbled on Everwild. I am very impressed with their prices on larger bulk seed packs...

    It seems to be that it is pretty easy to prep for a year or two - referring to acquiring and storing food. Fats, in particular are the challenge for lts food. For a long term scenario it is more practical to consider starting a homestead? - maybe not be 100% self sufficient but mix the...

    I have a Brown Turkey Fig tree that is sprouting from the roots. Will it bear figs, or is it some type of root stock? A few weeks ago I dropped by a farm supply store to get some seeds. They had a pitiful looking fig tree that the top had died and it was sprouting from the base of the tree. I...

    This year I drove several large fertilizer spikes in the ground around some of my fruit trees - fig, pear, plum and apple. Reviews on Amazon are good, but has anyone here used them? My fruit trees have not been doing that great so I decided to go all out this year. A week ago I sprayed them...

    A few questions about rabbits: 1) Has anyone tried free range rabbit ranching with a rabbit hutch and rabbit run but with the rabbits released during the day to forage on grass? 2) Are rabbits at serious risk of predation in a semi-rural area during daylight hours? We do have coyotes as well as...
  12. Book Reviews
    "Back to Basics" by Abigail Gehring is an encyclopedic book covering many topics of relevance to preppers. It's basically a dumbed down version of the Encyclopedia of Country Living with pretty pictures. I suppose this isn't just a coincidence since Ms. Gehring is now the editor of the...

    This massive book of nearly 1,000 pages was compiled by one of the early members of the homesteading movement (Carla Emery). She lived on a homestead near Moscow, ID from the early 1970s until the 2000s. Ms. Emery died in the 2000s and the encyclopedia is now managed by a lady with homes in...

    Walking to the back of the property to check on the garden, looked to the back, and several of my neighbors cows were there. My dogs saw the cows, and the fun began. A couple of my dogs are cur dogs, which seem to take great joy in herding cattle. Sometimes my dogs slip into my neighbors...

    Some people pant their potatoes whole, while others cut their potatoes into sections. When I buy my seed potatoes, I look for eh smallest potatoes in the bin. Say no larger than my fist. Then I cut the potatoes in half and let them dry before planting. Sometimes the store does not have a...

    Its been a long while...ish. But with spring right around the corner I thought I would write a bit about the importance of compost and different methods and tools for making great compost quickly. Compost in its simplest description is a mixture that consists largely of decayed organic matter...

  20. Disaster Preparedness General Discussion
    What is a prepsteader? It is someone who combines prepping and homesteading. However, the complete answer is a little more complicated. To see the whole picture we need to go back to at least the 1970s, or maybe the early 1980s. What we consider prepping today was everyday life during the...
