Fall cleaning
A bit of cleaning in the fall will help you feel better about going into long winter days.
The measure of a man
We are not measured simply by the words we say, but the examples we set, and the agency we have.
With faith & learning
Preparedness is more than physical things. It’s the skills and faith you have to carry on.
Countdown to the end
Creating a list of homestead chores will help you feel less overwhelmed as the seasons change
Balancing your preparedness
Focusing on only one type of preparedness is more likely to lead us to failure over a balanced approach.
Melting into a puddle
Hot summer days are not all fun and combating the heat while living off grid is not always easy.
Scratch cooking vs cooking healthy
There is a growing belief that if you make everything from scratch it’s totally healthy. The reality however is totally wrong!
Our Story
Life is unpredictable, but your family doesn’t have to be unprepared for it. We’ve traded the modern hustle for a life of purpose and resilience on our North Idaho homestead.
Our goal is simple: to help you master the skills that build a resilient home, so you can lead your family with confidence.
