This column is posted on Tuesdays. Here, we present news stories and event announcements from around the American Redoubt region. We also mention companies in the region of interest to preppers. The Redoubt region is perhaps the safest and most free place to live in these United States.
With the regular recent rains, the fire season will be mild this summer–at least in the northern part of the Redoubt. As of today’s date, none of the American Redoubt is experiencing a drought.

This new layout takes a lot of getting use to. At first, I detested it. You need to let people know that there is more to it, if you click on topics. It is classy looking but could scan the older one faster.
Articles under 150 words will fit on the excerpt page. Longer articles will always have that “Continue Reading” link at the bottom of the excerpt. You also have to click on the article if you want to read the comments. You can click “Continue Reading”, the article title or the picture to get to the full article.
