This weekly column features news stories and event announcements from around the American Redoubt region. (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 focus on the filming of 1923 — a Yellowstone television series prequel. (See the Montana section.)

1923: Filming of ‘Yellowstone’ prequel means street closures for Uptown Butte.
A pericope:
“The filming is not without challenges to local residents. Several streets will be closed entirely to vehicle traffic this Tuesday and Thursday. Local businesses will remain open, although some will only be able to be accessed through alleyways. Local bus routes have been altered as well. One local resident we talked with said she believes the benefits will outweigh the drawbacks.”
The lead actors in the series are Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren. And here is some background on the filming.

Secede from Oregon? ‘Greater Idaho’ is on the ballot in two conservative counties. The article begins:
“Many rural Oregonians fed up with the state’s liberal politics want to move to Idaho — or rather, move Idaho to them.
The Greater Idaho movement proposes redrawing Oregon’s borders so that about two-thirds of the Beaver State’s land mass becomes part of neighboring Idaho. The movement has already gained support from nine counties in Eastern Oregon, and two more will vote on whether they want lawmakers to work on the logistics of moving the border.”
