Great job. Laying down a big old thirsty towel in addition to the bag helps too.

Cool!

Cows and donkeys love it. Mine ate it all.

Interesting!

Watch Out. You'll be having just a sliver of the canes left because I know where you live and "They're are Free!"😅😂 In all seriousness, indeed, those are delicious bunch. Enjoy your supply for the yin yang years to come! ❤

these are the type of influencers we need , I am 24 from South Africa and I feel that we need to relook the way we live and consume.

my dad when he got cancer ran a hot line to his toilet in the main bath so then he would have a heated commode in the cold indiana winters

that metal plumbers tape is a must along with a roll of bailin wire

I think what you are installing is called a "silcock". I had never heard of a "hose bib", but the internets is telling me they are both outside faucets, but the silcock has the rod that runs deep back into the house.

Just speaking from experience, they will freeze and bust if you leave a hose hooked up in cold weather.

Well, this was a learning experience for me. I didn't realize getting a spigot installed to the outside was that simple. Even with a fiddly leak popping up. Thanks for showing!

As a midwest suburban millennial female, this Appalachian knowledge is worth its weight in gold to me. I've grown up pretty lucky with a hardworking young single mom, but being a suburbanite means theres a lot I havent learned and a lot I take for granted

hears somethin im interested in and would be a nice shed talk......how the old timers made makeshift root cellars and such. im in southern az and anyway i can store stuff without electric would help.

You gotta think things out and have a plan because life doesn't always go to plan.

That's just a thing in the country. But, most urbanites don't think that way.

I agree!

I used to watch a few bush craft channels and boy have they fallen down the rabbit hole of doom scrolling and fear porn. It was a wild shift to go from camping and canoeing around the back woods for a multi day trip, to spouting all sorts of nonsense. Common sense prepping is a good thing. I lived in Pennsylvania for a long time, but my family moved to Florida for work. Went from Blizzard preparedness (Blizzard of '96, took out a bridge over the Susquehanna) to Hurricane preparedness (We lived on Merritt Island when Katrina rolled through) . Moved out and back to the north after a few more years and the first thing I did was get a bag of supplies for my car. A leave over from not wanting to get caught in snow. Water, blanket, flares, cones, tools for getting out of snowy ditch. That sort of thing. Saved me an uncomfortable few hours in a thunderstorm when my cars alternator quit on me. I need to go down to the fire station and take a first aide course. I had taken some lessons in highschool but I haven't kept up on it in the years since. Definitely need to remedy that. Thanks for reminding me.

Planning ahead to take care of yourself and your responsibilities used to be seen as having basic intelligence. That it is made out to be some exotic, quasi-foolish activity only engaged in by some weird subculture("Preppers!") is just sad. But then, we seem to live in very foolish times, so I guess it isn't too surprising. That said, thanks for the reminders. I'm stuck in a city for now, but do what I can. Cash on hand is probably the one big gap in my "preps." Time to start chipping away at that!

Well I'm newly subbed but just got unsubscribed. Tornadoes are more like. Went through one but lucky just touchdown in a field behind the house. The biggie was just before going up north to a friend's property. About a 2 mile stretch of huge trees in circles and clear skies in the woods while walking. Rootballs over a storey high. Good thing no homes there. I went to the feed store for quail and cat supplies. I had cash on hand since power was out. You can discuss something and as my boyfriend has facebook he started getting ads for it. I feel like I have to talk in code in my own house while he won't get rid of it.

Sir, this is one of the BEST synopses of everyday preparedness I have ever heard. Down to the body language stuff. You are a gift. Thank you.

I'm like you, I set back food items I will eat and rotate them throughout the year. No need for me to have items I don't eat regularly as I sure wouldn't make them first choice if an emergency came along. Some people mean well and I took a city boy under my wing for a few years until he learned what to go about in prepping. He was green as grass but had a great heart and we became very good friends. He now has milk goats, honey bees and raises a nice garden for his family. I don't even have a milk animal any longer nor bees. I'm getting too old and my hands just don't work they way they used to do.

We are in Massachusetts, and we have seen lots of hurricanes , noreasters,long-term outages, deep cold-30 or more - and tons more natural events .We have to be prepared, but a whole lot of residents here don't have any idea. I do wish we could have a saving, but it was depleted heavily this past few years, especially with food costs now and went through our whole food storage.

👍🏼

👍👍👍👍👍👍😊

It's nice to just hear important information. Thank you for a calm, enjoyable homestead experience. The fear and doom channels get overwhelming after a while.

Ill be making autumn olive wine soon. Theyre plentiful on our 80 acre lot. We call them pucker berries. Because theyre super tart. I leave out the tannin. I feeeze the fruit to make them mushy to start. Then add filterd well water, yeast and sugar. Let it ferment in my glass carbuoy with an airlock for months. Youd be surprised how well this basic method actually works. As long as you don't disturb it! Everything you dont want falls to the bottom with the dead yeast. Don't know if its the well water that gives it the taste we like or not. But im not complaining. Nor is anyone that has some of it. Potent, sweet, clear, wine you can't find at any store. I like the cuvee yest from red star. And yes. The sugar amount is important. Too little makes it dry and may be weak. Too much is like syrup. Thanks for the video. Was just wondering how anyone else does it. Or if anyone else does.

You forgot uninsured motorist we have to pay for, Great Rant keep up the good work.

There’s a bacteria that kills the borers but not bees It’s thurgenosis ( spelled it wrong ) It works on grubs and I’ve had luck with it You have to keep it sprayed on every time it rains so you might not want to do that If the larva ingests one spore it immediately paralysis it and it turns into more spores I found the more I did it the less problems I had with the borers All the best Ken Nickerson

I live in NYC with 6 chickens in a small backyard. I already have to "manage" rats, mice, and raccoons, along with the poison ivy that came with the house. Im currently looking for land in the country. Id rather deal with the headaches of homesteading than this overpopulated prison yard of a city.

Man its good to hear someone talk some damn sense

I like-truegritappalachianways captain kleeman -honey trail farm-kusk wild -diesel creek -dirt perfect - watch wes work, they educate me and Iam 77 years old. thank you for your good videos.

27 of my 100 chickens were eaten, I got my hands on a camp axe... I was 14 but i showed it as much Mercy as it showed my birds, nature hates nature is cruel the faster city boys except this the better

Anyone who's read the Bible of Homesteading, 'The Foxfire Edition' in Gardening will remember the rule of 'got deer problem, get a dog. or shoot them. got crows get a dog, build a scarecrow, or shoot them, got racoons, get a dog, trap them, or shoot em' etc etc...always seems to fall back on the little lead sleeping pill.

I enjoy your videos. Some good homesteadters I watch; Living Traditions & Whippoorwill Holler,.

Great video! That’s why I do my best to stock the pantry with homegrown food. Hahaha, “I do use fertilizer” Need to get Back to bartering, I do with my neighbors. TFS 😊

Man, I don't think I could really add on to what you talked about. Food deserts, DG's killing off local grocery stores (wife's a manager of DG and the stuff corporate talks about is insane), pesticides that runoff and mess with bird eggs. I live along the Susquehanna in PA and as a kid we had a whole big study on how a pesticide decimated the local bald eagle population. Couldn't nest with their eggs without crushing them. Today, I look out my apartment balcony and can sometimes see a pair of Bald Eagles sitting on our power line tower. Change can happen, it's just ponderously slow. Money in politics is one of the worst things that ever happened. It's literally the adage "Money talks and bull sugar walks"

👍👍👍👍👍😊

Teach, i remind you of kosher, butter is our best friend but im not gonna fry in it, and oh yeah we live on a pizza not a planet

I think diseases comes from rich people who don't have anything better to do than manipulate other peoples lives. There is sin and there is evil. Those people are evil. Laws do not seem to apply to them.

It's good that its Americanized Chinese food here. A friend had worked in China before the thing and said the food was awful.

Speaking of food supply ; I’m reminded every time I go out in public that clearly there’s no food shortages. A processed food shortage would do most the folks I encounter some physical good. Their wallets as well. It must cost a lot of money to stay fat.

I like seeing your vids. You are a very intellegent person, that can explain things in a way that we all can understand. Ive learned alot from you since i found your channel. Just want to say thank you

We lived in a trailer park as newly weds. There was a real bad stray cat problem. They would get under the trailer and destroy the insulation. I bought these traps and would call animal control. The man would show up and cart them off. Well, the libtards threw a fit and the township changed it so he couldn’t take the cats anymore. Instead they would trap, neuter, and release them. I moved shortly after. Too many city people who don’t understand the reality of the situation.

Also, the Ingles Distribution Center was wiped out. If you shop Ingles for exclusive items, GET IT NOW! There Won't Be Any Restocking for the SE. There WILL be shortages SOON. Blessings from Linda in mid GA.
