We did a tour of an 1880s barn (still in great shape) and found all of the windows had extensive amounts of wire crisscrossing on both sides. My first thought was it was to protect the windows from breakage. If I'm wrong, does anyone know the real reason?

Thanks!

One gun isn't enough.

That was what Linda Smith (a pseudonym) was thinking after two thugs broke into her Oklahoma apartment. One was holding a weapon (she initially thought it was a knife but it turned out to be a screwdriver) at her throat, and the other was pacing back and forth while holding her purse and demanding her money and valuables. She screamed, and was told if she screamed again, she'd be dead.

She was doing as police recommend in robberies – comply with a robbe...

 Survivalism! Are you ready?

It should be obvious to any person who is aware of what is going on that we are not being very well protected by our government. And, really, do they have an obligation to?

Perhaps only in the broad sense.

Survival is NOT a luxury reserved for the rich you must put a survival plan into place to ride out disasters right where you currently live.

Why? You probably won't be able to ge...

 Most who are interested in preparedness are familiar with alcohol fermentation, but fewer are familiar with the process of lactofermentation. Foods like yogurt and sauerkraut are the most common lactofermented foods, but there are many others that can be  extremely useful in a survival situation. If the goal of fermentation is to produce alcohol, then the goal of lactofermentation is the somewhat less exciting production of lactic acid and more microorganisms. The...

 For those listeners who know us thanks for hanging in there while we took a little time off to take care of what needed to be taken care of in our lives.  For those of you who don’t know us, let us begin by saying we are not some big time radio show hosts, we are not some big time authors, we do have a website we started about a year and a half ago pioneer living.net.  It is about helping people.

In most cases, a properly-pitched and sited tarp shelter  works very well. The advantages of a tarp over a tent are primarily in the weight-savings category.  But in some instances and situations, a tarp may be the most effective shelter you can carry.

This basic A-Frame tarp shelter is a good design to improvise from. Make this the planned shelter and modify it to fit the terrain and your needs.

For years, I have included a tarp (along w...

I don't care about forth of July. What importance is there in the forth? What has the forth ever done for us? Today is not a day to celebrate a number. Today is a day of remembrance of those who sacrificed their lives to win our freedom from a tyrant king. Today is the day we remember the fight to win freedom from taxation without representation. Today is the day of revolution. Today is our nations Birthday. Today is Independence Day! I personally won't be celebrating Independence da...

You don't have a gun or can not get one but you want some protection?

Wasp Spray-

A friend who is a receptionist in a church in a

high risk area was concerned about someone

when they were counting the collection. She

asked the local police department about using

pepper spray and they recommended to her that

she get a can of wasp spray

instead.

First of all let me state right up front for the record: I am not a racist.  I find that I like most all of the Hispanic people I get to know and I have nothing what so ever against having people from southof the border come here to work and earn money. BUT, it must be done above the board, out in the open, and legally controlled and sanctioned.

Who profits when it is done illegally?  Only the coyotes who...

It has been a rough and rocky start with the mini farm, but progress has been made. This little piece of land was once a bare cotton field. Now it is becoming a little farm with all the animals to go with it. Since it is a small two acres, every spot has to have a meaning and a purpose. Everything I am growing or building can be used in two to three different ways and most of the time creating a circle back to it’s self so no waste is involved.

Breath Of The outdoors Needed By InterMune After FDA Rejection

How many times have we brought food and then forgotten about it only toremember it because it begins to stink? Against this, you cannot doanything, but you can ensure that your food lasts longer and keepsfresh.

How?

There are many things you can do, such as regularly clean your refrigerator and regularly check the food in there and also that you keep in the cupboards or anywhere else. But its not just about checking them. This cannot prevent an...

Ramon Adams, a Western historian, explained it best in his 1969 book, The Cowman and His Code of Ethics, saying, in part:

"Back in the days when the cowman with his herds made a new frontier, there was no law on the range. Lack of written law made it necessary for him to frame some of his own, thus developing a rule of behavior which became known as the "Code of the West." These home spun laws, being merely a gentleman&#...

Family Secret Recipes?  We have all heard that saying, "It's a family secret recipe".  Why should we keep the recipes a secret?  What happens if they get lost or forgotten?   Recipes that that been passed down generation after generation should not be forgotten or lost!  The reason they were passed down to begin with is they are tried and true recipes.  Recipes from scratch. ...

I have started my tomato seeds, they came up to about 3 inches and now are dying off.  I put them outside in the sunshine and light breeze to make them hardy,and that is not working.  Can anyone give me some insight as to what I am doing wrong?  I am really trying to be resourceful instead of buying hybred seeds and plants, I really would like to be self sufficient, I am just...
