Living off the grid
As long as you're paying a mortgage, you are on the grid. If you've paid off your land/house, you still have to pay taxes on it so they won't forget about you. -
Large game in SHTF
We've got chickens and have talked about getting some rabbits. We've really worked hard the last couple years on our gardening skills. Me and my son have started squirrel and rabbit hunting this year, so we have small game covered. It just dawned on my yesterday as I was skinning the deer we... -
Large game in SHTF
Any good resources for learning how do this? I honestly don't have any experience. If there is a good book or website, i would love to read up on it. -
Large game in SHTF
The thought occured to me today about what would I do with a deer if I didn't have electricty (ie. SHTF). What are some ways to keep a large amount of meat for a long period of time without a freezer? -

Disaster Prepardness
I totally get what you are saying about staying as long as possible. I live out in the woods, on a dirt road with only a couple houses on it. I know the land around me and feel I could make it here with my family without any outside help. It's the Zombie, UN/NATO, and especially civil unrest... -
Disaster Prepardness
Just curious, how do you know when it's time to leave the homestead? I am just getting my plans started, but I wonder if you stay home until you are "forced" to leave, is that not too late already? I would think you would want to bug out just before that point, but how would you know? Like i...
