Angela is a passionate survival enthusiast and devoted single mom living in the Pacific Northwest. She shares her home with her two children, her 7-year-old granddaughter, and a lively array of pets. Angela fully embraces the joyful chaos of family life, especially with her granddaughter joining her on various adventures. Her household includes three playful cats, two spirited Cane Corso/XXL Pitbull mix puppies named Tia Dalma and Dutchman (inspired by a pirate theme), and a flock of chickens that not only provide eggs but also help keep the garden pest-free.

In 2022, Angela purchased her first home and is actively transforming it into her dream garden-focused homestead. An avid canner and food preservation enthusiast, she prefers to use herbal and natural remedies whenever possible, foraging from her gardens and the surrounding areas in Washington, Idaho, and Montana. She loves sharing her knowledge and skills with friends and family through gifts and collaborative activities.

Angela's journey into survival skills began over two decades ago when she discovered the Patriot novel series by fellow author and survivalist James Wesley Rawles. This inspired her to prepare her small family for potential long-term lockdowns or grid-down scenarios. Since then, she has dedicated herself to researching and expanding her skills.

With a passion for gardening, hand-crafted foods, and animals, Angela is also mindful of avoiding excessive additives in store-bought products and pharmaceuticals. Over the past 20 years, she has embraced the challenge of growing, harvesting, preserving, and creating foods and herbal supplements for her family and friends.

In her spare time, Angela enjoys gardening, harvesting, freeze-drying, and crafting all-natural products from her harvests. With her bustling household and commitment to sustainable living, she finds joy in the everyday chaos, making her life rich and rewarding.
