Americans are one of the most resilient people groups on the planet. If something doesn’t work out, we find another way. Our mindset and lifestyle is steeped in individual freedom. It is written into our founding documents and secured by an all knowing and all loving God, who first gave us freedom. What if I told you that there is an economic storm coming that will shake America to its core. The enemy is from within…a government that printed too much unbacked currency, people that over extended themselves in debt, a war that cut off fertilizer and fuel, an administration that prevented its people from working and shut down our own supplies of fuel, and the “coincidences” that continue to burn down our food infrastructure. Something big is coming… Something that could take away our freedom loving way of life. You see we can live without a lot of things, but food isn’t one of them. As soon as food is insecure, liberty is easy to uproot. A national digital currency that would allow … [Read more...]
Plant Hope
Stressed from wars and rumors of wars, inflation, shortages, and global instability? …Plant a tree. NO seriously, planting is a symbol of future hope, tangible personal action, and a taxfree-inflation-buster. What made America so great is opportunity, not handouts.

Check out David the Goods Grocery Row garden (permaculture meets vegetable garden). No one is coming to your house to examine your cultivation … [Read more...]
DIY Washable Protective Masks
My amazing friend Amy at https://ouramyablefarmhouse.com/ has agreed to video the making of such a mask. I’m so thankful, because she is so much more organized than I am. She has a wonderful blog, definitely worth checking out. In all of my preparedness training, It never occurred to me that the world would run out of masks. Retrospect is always 20/20, and let’s face it nobody can be prepared for absolutely every contingency. I make so many things from scratch that people tell me are impossible, why not masks? “Impossible” just enslaves opportunity. After some research and a whole day of playing with fabric, I came up with a pattern that seems to work well. Ideally I would want a washable-flexible metal piece at the bridge of the nose. I didn’t have such a thing, so I used pleats. After making the first batch with 4 layers of calico (personal stock), a friend sent me this link … [Read more...]
