Putting an American flag on your foreign car doesn't make you a Patriot it makes you a hypocrite. Thats how I would describe how I feel. We need to support American jobs. Shop local and Buy American. I know that at times its impossible to buy an American counterpart (i.e. T.V.s , shoes, electronics) but we should try to Buy American when ever possible, instead of buying a cheaper product that has less quality. We look at every label on every product before we buy them, but sometimes you have to make a compromise that benefits your family.

My family for the past year has started work on becoming more sustainable. We garden more and more each year and preserve our harvest. We started composting leaves and garden matter , planting more fruit trees on our one acre lot to create a small orchard/nut grove and try to be as natural/organic as possible with our gardening practices. I am trying to plant more heirloom variety seeds and use less of the hybrid/gmo varieties. I also try to teach what I know and learn from other Prepper/homestead individuals.

We as Americans need to work together to help each other regain the self -sufficient attitude that made this country great. To many of us have become dependent on a system that is failing in order to survive. My family and I have decided that we are going to change what we eat and the products that we purchase. With this channel I will try to show you how we are doing different things to get by in this difficult economy. I will have product reviews, gardening tips, food prep /storage ideas along with videos on the many other interests we have.
