Anyway, to use the cliché "it takes a village", I asked one of my blogging colleagues, Todd Walker, the editor of Survival Sherpa, whether I could share his list of DIY projects with Backdoor Survival readers.  Todd, being the kind of guy he is, responded with "never a problem sharing any of my stuff."It is an old classic and we all know the words: "Summertime and the livin' is easy. Fish are jumpin', and the cotton is high."

Without a doubt, summer is the time that most of us break out of our cocoons and embark upon all manner of projects, both large and small.  I know that I do and, no surprise, most of my projects are preparedness related.  That being said, I have a lifetime of project on my to do list and the poor Survival Husband; his list is long enough for two lifetimes.
