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. This week, with warmer weather, we focus on some upcoming events and outdoor activities.

Idaho
The New York Times recently ran this article: A Fracture in Idaho’s G.O.P. as the Far Right Seeks Control. JWR’s Comment: I heard from someone I trust who attended that event in Bonners Ferry that there were two reporters from The New York Times who attended, and identified themselves as such, when asking questions. It is noteworthy that a major eastern newspaper would dispatch two reporters to a small-town pre-election event, 2,500 miles away, only to file a brief article. Obviously, The Powers That Be are perturbed that genuine freedom-loving conservatives are gaining control of Idaho Republican Party politics. By the way, it seems that anyone to the right of John McCain is considered “Far Right”, according to the editors of The New York Times.
