Coleman Two-Mantle Propane Lantern Review

Coleman Two-Mantle Propane Lantern

I am a huge fan of this lantern and have a couple of them as part of my emergency preparedness kit as well as camping supplies. I love things like this which serve more than one purpose. Also, the lantern is a Coleman, which has long been a [...]

Product Review: Crossbreed Holster Inside the Waistband Holster - SuperTuck Deluxe

Product Review: Crossbreed Holster Inside the Waistband Holster – SuperTuck Deluxe

First off let me say that I do not work for Crossbreed, know anyone that does and I gain nothing from endorsing this product.

Here, at Making a Homestead, we are big proponents of the second amendment. We also believe that part of having [...]

Review of KA-BAR TDI Law Enforcement Last Ditch Knife

KA-BAR TDI Law Enforcement Last Ditch Knife

The KA-BAR TDI Law Enforcement Last Ditch Knife is a great little neck knife. Coming in at 2.4 ounces the knife seems almost weightless around my neck and I often forget it is even there. This knife was made primarily for Law Enforcement, [...]

“All New Square Foot Gardening” By: Mel Bartholomew – Review

Winter is the time to spend planning your next year’s garden. It is tempting to rest on one’s laurel at this time of year, but to do so would be a grave mistake. I like to use this time to plunge into gardening books and seed catalogs. I started this tradition 3 years ago when [...]

Leatherman Freestyle CX Review

Leatherman 831082 Freestyle CX Multi-tool

I picked this up a couple weeks ago and I have been extremely satisfied with it. I switched out a heavier Gerber blade I had in favor of the Leatherman. I was surprised the Multi-tool actually weighed less than the blade I had been carrying. I have also been impressed [...]
