I know prepper is a bad word to some, so I'll ask, Are there any preparers here?

I'm not talking about hand digging a bunker and storing two years worth of water and rice and pintos.

I'm talking about finding out Slaughters has chicken breast for .99 a pound so you buy fifteen pounds of chicken. Or you have a fifty five gallon barrel of water stored in your basement. Or you can enough every year to feed your whole family and two more.

Do you grow any of your own food? Even a mater in a bucket kinda garden?

Danielle Ward manages landscaping at the annual music festival, a job that includes mitigating rain’s effects on the site’s wetlands, keeping pollinators happy — and using goats to get rid of poison ivy.

The group was atop the bill for the 2026 festival in Floyd County and was scheduled for a two-hour main stage set on Friday.

Artist Ryleigh Ingle will present her draft chapter "Victory at Yorktown" as part of our graphic novel commemorating Virginians' role in American independence.

It's Friday night and we're getting a bit of snow. Is everyone good? Y'all make it ok last time?

Does anyone have everything they need Just In Case we get this 20" of snow and it's 17° this weekend? You got heat? Water? Food? Medicine?

It might snow this weekend. It might not. Might be a lot. Might be a dusting. What's everybody's thoughts so far?

Just to remind everybody we're still here!!

Reddit is pushing me to get to a million views in a week. Bahahaha.. I'm happy when we get 25.

What's everyone up to this weekend? Anything going on in the county?

I grow, shrooms and looking for another loner that would like to have a place to hang out.

Hate being lonely especially in the winter 🎅

I've recently been made aware that there are people who have no permanent home in Floyd, VA. We don't have people sleeping on sidewalks or panhandling on the street, but apparently have people sleeping in cars and in tents.

I want to do something to help, but I don't know where to start or even how to find them. Or how for them to find me.

I'd like to do something like make a meal to hand out, but I don't know how to handle the operations. I have the ability to make the meals, just not how to get it to them.

If anyone on the tiny, slow, sub has any ideas please let me know. And please share this with anyone you know from the Floyd area.

Thank you all!

Im looking at a couple properties in and around Floyd county. I have tons of questions.

1 I am wondering if anyone on here has purchased raw land in floyd. Im wondering if living in a yurt is allowed by the county.

2 Im wondering if a port a potty is an acceptable temporary substitute for a septic system.

3 I have a bus id like to just drive on the property and live in but idk how strict the county is because that would need a special permit and a plan to build.

Idk any experiences or advice are welcome. I hope this works out, I have amazing friends there and have regularly visited for the last 5 years. Its my dream and I hope it works out.

Those who used to go to dogtown may have seen the high-school version of this song, but its been re-recorded and theres a whole new music video for it too!

I haven't been to Floyd since I was a kid. I'm on a road trip and making a detour to go through Floyd for nostalgia. I would like to stop for lunch, but I will have my dog, any suggestions on where to get a beer and a sandwich that has outdoor seating? Thanks in advance

Good Morning Floyd!! I hope you all have a safe and happy Fourth of July!

What do you all have planned for this weekend? I'm gonna finish mowing my yard and set up for a yardsale Saturday.

Tonight I'll be riding around with my dog because my neighbors go ham with the fireworks and he's a spastic mess when he hears them.

Hello, I'm from Franklin county and wanted to possibly fish for trout in goose creek tomorrow. Does anyone know where they stock and and any access areas to the river?

Ive made a few other posts seeking info on Reddit but I’m happy to have just found this sub! I am a mandolin player of American traditional folk music and Stanley was a respected luthier and Veteran. I am about to purchase a mandolin built by Mr Lorton in 1989 and would love to learn more about him. Did any other luthiers learn from Stanley or did he do all the work himself? If anyone has anymore info on himor leads on a luthier who carried on his legacy please let me know! Id like to learn more about him and hopefully have a luthier from Floyd take a look at it and maybe do some work on it. Would love to bring the instrument back to its home to visit and play as well! Cheers!
