This weekly column features news stories and event announcements from around the American Redoubt region. [1] (Idaho, Montana, eastern Oregon, eastern Washington, and Wyoming.) Much of the region is also more commonly known as The Inland Northwest. We also mention companies of interest to preppers and survivalists that are located in the American Redoubt region. Today, we take note that wolf packs are now expanding their territory into western Oregon. (See the Central & Eastern Oregon section.)

Or friend Commander Zero reports: Canadian police found in undercover operation at Great Falls gun show [5]. JWR’s Comments: It was great reading the county sheriff stood up to that incursion.
Commenting on this same incident I also heard from a reader:
“You know, I pulled a pair of license plates off a wrecked car and keep them as spares “just in case”. They have rare earth magnets on the back so I can just quickly pop them over my existing plates when I park somewhere. Starting to think doing that, or taking my license plates off when I park at gun shows. That might become a prudent idea.”
