Raising Dairy Goats

Hi!  For as long as I can remember I have been interested in raising goats.  I've read a lot of things and that has helped me to gain some knowledge.  However, there is nothing like seeing something actually done.  So check out these videos about raising dairy goats.  It's very interesting and I hope you enjoy them as much as I did!

Bug Out Vehicles

Here is some information on what a bug out vehicle (B.O.V.) is.  I had never heard of one, but it makes sense to have one.  Now, it might be a little overwhelming when you look at the list of items one should have in their BOV.  My suggestion is to take one step at a time.  If you cannot afford one of the older vehicles, just use what you have.  Start by getting extra parts, and making sure your car is always in good repair.  Just start out simply and expand when you can!  Click HERE to view!

Bug Out Bags

So the more I look at the state of the world, the more I've been thinking about being prepared.    For a couple of years I've carried a back pack in my car with some food, water, emergency kit, and an old pair of sneakers and socks. This way I would be prepared if there was an earthquake and I had to ruff it for a couple of days until I could reach safety or home.  However, the more I think about it, the more I realize that I have nothing like that in my home.  If there is an economical/natural disaster I need to have something prepared that I can grab and go so I'm not wasting valuable life-saving time, or so that in the chaos I don't grab unimportant things.  I found a neat website that talks about Bug Out Bags, and instructs you on how to build one of your own.  Click HERE to view it.  I'm going to work hard on getting this together so that I can be prepared for an emergency.  Let me know if you have something like this already, and if there is anything else that you would recommend to have in a B.O.B.

Gardening

I just found this website that has some really good information.  I particularly liked the info on container gardening.  For those of you who don't know what it is, it is for people who don't have a lot of room to garden.  So there are absolutely no more excuses!  Get to gardening!  Just pick something, one thing... and decide to grow it.  You will be surprised with the fun you will have seeing something grow.  Also, it will prepare you for when you have to grow things "for real".  What do they say...practice makes perfect!  So let's start practicing!  Click HERE.

Ways to Fortify your Home from Intruders

If Home Defense or Security is not important to you now, you might change your mind when all hell breaks loose. When it comes to Home Defense the first thing we think about is guns which is a crucial part, but one other aspect that gets left out is what we can do to our house and property to prevent home invasions. Check this video out that talks about some ways in which we can better fortify our homes. If you find any other video or articles detailing ways in which we can secure our homes for intruders or SHTF please email us at citizen-soldiers9@hotmail.com

The Future of Food

Check out this video. There is no doubt that this country was founded upon agriculture. But little by little, our main source of income has changed from an agricultural to an industrial society. This video describes how the government, along with big agricultural corporations are damaging the future of food and making it impossible, economically, to be a small farmer. It’s one-hour long but it shows, in detail, this problem we are facing as a country and the lack of knowledge the average citizen has about where our food comes from and how it is made. Think about it, do you or whom do you know that gardens? If we cannot feed ourselves, we then, depend on a couple of big corporations to do that for us. The question I have is how vulnerable are we?

Who Owns Your Land

The Declaration of Independence declares that our rights do not come from man but that they come from God. I wonder if the Founders were here today, if they would declare with one voice, once again, that our rights come from god and man should not be in the business of giving and taking those rights. We have allowed our freedoms to be legislated away because we have bought into the lie that the government holds our best interest at heart. Man should be able to rule himself. And yet in this article we learn that the government believes that man cannot. Check out this article and I bet there are so much more examples of this out there. Please, if you come across any, send us the link or write to us. Click HERE to read the article
