My Bookshelf – Storey’s Guide to Raising Rabbits
Check out my Free Rabbit Breeding Calendar! As I’ve mentioned before, there are a lot of self-sufficiency, survival, or homesteading books that I own. I will list each book one at a time, and will only list books that I own and consider a resource to rely upon. Some are on my Kindle, others […]
Smoking Rabbit

Improving Soil
This is a follow-up from yesterday’s post, DIY Self Watering Containers. When I first started gardening here in Florida, the sugar sand had me beat. Too loose to hold anything, it would take many tons of organic matter to improve just my back yard. I eventually opted to use raised beds, and make my own […]
Smoked Rabbit as a Grab n Go snack

So I tend to carry things along to get me through the day. Nuts, fruits, sliced cucumbers, or rabbit jerky have […]
