The Backyard Pioneer

If y'all have time please take the time to check out my friend Mike Prunty's blog at thebackyardpioneer.com.  His articles are coming out like wildfire and they deal with a lot of important issues facing us all today.  He was kind enough to publish a post or two with yours truly.  The first of them was "5 Questions with Patrick Burns of Arcadia Knives" and there is a link below if you haven't read it.  There is a lot of good information in that article to get a person, who wants to have a custom knife made, started in the right direction.

The other article he posted with my input, really started as a comment to his review of a new well made kitchen knife.  I sent him an email telling him about the nice kitchen knives I had acquired at thrift stores and yard sales.  Mike posted today that it was one his top 5 blog posts and generated a lot of views.

Like I said check out his blog and sign up for email updates to it.  He has shared some AWESOME recipes that have become mainstays in our house.  His gear reviews are honest and to the point.  He has recently been through Hurricane Sandy.  He proved that emergency preparedness is not something for crazy folks.  His family survived through it because he has taken the time to care for his family by using essential life skills.  He also learned quite a few things about what worked well and what didn't.  I guarantee you'll learn enough to keep you coming back to his blog.
