From Dog Kennel to Chicken Mansion – Building Real Food Security on a Changing Earth

In this episode, we pull back the wire on our complete Texas chicken coop system — built from affordable Tractor Supply dog kennels, salvaged fence wood, 2ft paver blocks, PVC framing, and smart predator-proofing. Learn how we solved mice, fire ants, scorching heat, and 90 mph winds while creating an easy-clean setup that requires nothing more than a bucket and shovel. Whether you're starting small or scaling up, this is practical homesteading you can replicate today. Then we deliver a full Changing Earth News update: a chronological look at the major disasters of late March through April 2026 — deadly flooding in Kenya, Angola, Haiti, and Ecuador… record tornado outbreaks across Texas, Oklahoma, and the Midwest… persistent Nevada earthquake swarms… deepening drought and Hoover Dam concerns… solar CME activity… volcanic unrest… blizzards… and more. These events remind us why building resilient food sources matters now more than ever. Plus, big announcements: Prepper Camp 2026 is coming — and Season Five of The Changing Earth Audio Drama has launched with full video episodes! Dream, Survive, and Thrive! Listen now and start strengthening your own backyard protein fortress.
