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. Today, a retrospective on the recently-ended Yellowstone television series, and its fictionalized view of Montana. (See the Montana section.)

Reader Michael D. sent us this: Coeur d’Alene to consider emergency plan. Michael’s Comments:
“This is a very scary article about arresting people who refuse to comply with the state Governor’s orders to evacuate for one of many reasons from wildfire to pandemic and whatever else they figure is an ’emergency’. It looks like Kootenai County has already added this to their plan and now the city is looking to do the same.”
