Wildflowers and Butterfly Beauty: Three For The Price Of One
ByDavid Kuhns July 13, 2018July 13, 2018

Wildflowers and butterfly beauty is one of the best parts of rural life. As people go back to the woods or the fields, focusing on being self-sustaining and off-the-grid, one of the first questions they ask is: “What should I DO?” One of the most vital things I tell them is what they should NOT…

Get ‘Er Done: Vashon Island Treehouses Starts Growing
ByDavid Kuhns May 10, 2018May 10, 2018

A New Project: Vashon Island Treehouses My brother Gene Kuhns Jr. has always been a “doer”. With his wife Jan by his side (and often, slightly in front of him), they get more done in a week than many folks get done in a year. That’s why I’m excited and anxious to watch the progress…

Observing Nature with a Purpose
ByDavid Kuhns February 6, 2022February 24, 2022

I spend a lot of time observing nature as I wander and work in the woods, creek and fields. Whether on my property near the #ChickamaugaNMP in Northwest Georgia, at my relatives in Arizona, Wisconsin or Washington, or traveling around this fantastic country (and world), I’ve always loved seeing God’s creations, and how they work…

Trouble In Paradise — Dealing With Pests And Problems
ByDavid Kuhns May 27, 2018July 13, 2018

Every place has pests and problems to deal with, its own Trouble In Paradise. Wisconsin mosquitos and cold, Arizona’s oppressive heat and poisonous bugs and snakes, Washington state’s rain and mold and rain and dampness, Georgia’s bugs and heat and humidity and CHIGGERS! As part of the #LightTheWorldNow #BuildHisKingdom project, I was thinking about the…
