Things we've used, learned from, created, and found helpful along the way.

Welcome to our resource library.

Everything you'll find here has grown from real life—the work we do, the land we care for, the business we're building, and the lessons we're still learning along the way.

Some resources come from years of running Durrett Recovery and working in towing and auto transport.

Others come from life on our little piece of land, building Axles & Acres, or simply finding something that makes everyday life or work a little easier.

You'll find tools and equipment we actually use, honest reviews, books and guides we've created, business systems that help keep us organized, and products or resources we'd genuinely recommend to someone we know.

Why We Share Them

Our goal isn't to recommend the most products.

It's to share the right things for the right reasons.

Sometimes that's something we've depended on for years. Sometimes it's a less expensive option that does everything we need. Sometimes paying more for the heavy-duty version has proven worth it.

And when we can, we like supporting American companies and choosing products made in the USA.

Some links throughout our resource library may be affiliate links, which means we may earn a small commission if you purchase through them at no additional cost to you. That helps support the work we're doing here while allowing us to keep creating and sharing useful resources.

This library will continue to grow as our life does.

Real work. Real life. Useful things we've found along the way.

Take what helps.

Leave what doesn't.
