Not sure if you have compressed air, and you may be aware of this. Cleaning rabbits,I would cut a small slit inside back leg, put air nozzle in, small shot of air, waa laa, hide was totally loose. Used to raise New Zealand’s, excellent for the table.

What kind of animal tracks or markings are evident in the snow, in the areas that you travel this winter?

Do you get any human visitors in the winter, friends or backroad explorers?

Love reading your news letters. Amy, we’re amazed at how well you both have survived off the grid.

You have a nice comfortable house, and much needed water shed. You both have sure made so many improvements and still have plans for more. We think of you both often❤️❤️

That's very awesome, congratulations. Are you using solar panels for power? How much insulation did you use? How hard was it to get the container to your property?

How long did it take for you to get self-sufficient on your homestead? Not necessarily to where you are now but to where you felt comfortable that if need be you could survive completely independent.
