A Special Editor’s Note: This will be the last regular News From The American Redoubt column. Because so many news outlets have put their content behind paywalls, it has become increasingly difficult to assemble this column. It will be replaced by a new weekly item: American Redoubt Media of the Week. That will typically be photos, video links, or the occasional news item.
—
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 located in the American Redoubt region that are of interest to preppers and survivalists. Take note in the Wyoming section on the State’s reclassification of bison.
