    935093509349 I've also raised hundreds of rabbits and some of them DID get to 20 lbs. I guess I'm just better at raising rabbits than some OTHER people.

    This sounds like something to look into. I'm just wondering why they want to focus on just chickens. Setting up a good survival retreat/ self-sustaining farm starts with picking a good location and...

    I used to raise meat rabbits and if anyone else is thinking about it there are a couple points to consider. The feed to meat ratio on the giant rabbits is very poor and they are very big boned. Every...

    I don't drink my own urine and I don't go running around the woods naked. I guess that means I'm not a good fit for TV.

    The Ruger Mini-14 only comes in .223. I have a Mini-30 (7.62 x 39). I could take deer and hogs with a 7.62x39, 150 Grain Jacketed Soft Point but it doesn't have enough versatility to make my list....

    They are really getting desperate for ways to keep people watching these kinds of shows. I still can't understand why the producers don't want to go a DIY type series about urban and hobby farms. I...

    Everything I can find online says that trying to keep a bull as a pet is a bad idea. They can be real easy going and one day without warning they turn into killers. My grandfather raised beef and...

    I picked up a dozen Ausable 3/32" snares on Amazon for $14.99. At that price it made more sense to me to buy them ready made than to make them myself. They should hold all but the largest boars. The...

    If anyone wants to get away from society you don't have to run away to the wilderness, you can buy my house. Sure I have lots of neighbors and people that walk by the house but they aren't going to...

    My unit is a Respironics REMstar Auto. I like this unit because it is one of the smaller and lighter units. For home use the main unit consists of 2 components, a large AC to DC adapter and the Main...

    It's interesting but I have my own stick/stool design. It's more of a one-legged stool, like a milking stool. I used a solid 60" oak staff. On the top end I attached a wire rope loop. From that I use...
