Listening to you tell the dance story really brought me back to my dancing days as a child. I couldn't do Jazz or Ballet to save my life, but put a pair of Tap shoes on me and me feet knew what to do. Hahahaha!

[@RainCountryHomestead]

Nice, I did teach tap for a little while until we rebuilt our dance room, doubling t he size and put in a floating hardwood floor. I decided that tap would be too hard on the expensive floor

It’s amazing how when we simply speak the truth, we are penalized. You’re not the only content creator to have these issues. Keep bringing it!

[@RainCountryHomestead]

Yet who penalizes youtube when they falsely accuse us of something we did not do and remove our content? Then when we speak up about how they wronged us, they further penalize us! GRRR!

[@mooieplaats]

Hi Heidi, I am happy to see your videos. They are really helpful when people try to live a more simple life. I am very sad for those trying to avoid to spread this knowledge. We are just simple people. In my understanding those regulations for certains youtubers like you, concern the natural remedies and religion. Are those so dangerous for the humanity? 😢 I just want to cry. Apparently to be simple and spiritual mean for YT a danger 😢. My impression is they want to promote non-essential contents, just feed the stupidity and keep people ignorant of the ressources we have to live a happy life connected to real values. God bless all us🙏🙂🙏

Heidi, it sure is bad that youtube is doing these things. I am glad you are on Rumble. Maybe it is time for people, who watch these channels to speak out against youtube. It sure is sad that they are doing this; but in times like these we sure are seeing the evil out there. Heidi, thank you for your encouragement on helping us to try things and not just quit. If that little girl would have quit dance she never would have learned she could do it. Thank you, Heidi, for your Monday This ~ N~ Thats. I love my pumpkin powder that I learned from you.

[@TaraLee627]

Heidi, THANK YOU for being a beacon for your community. I, as well as many, many others, appreciate all you do and have done to teach your followers how to become more self sufficient over the last many years. Like you, I search out the channels I subscribe to if I don't see new content on my feed. You aren't alone with KZbin burying your content. We are living in such uncertain times, and it is disheartening (although not surprising) to see truthsayers being "censored". We must stand together, get the Word out, prepare, and PRAY, PRAY, PRAY. God bless you, Patrick, your family and your followers. Merry Christmas!

I will be going directly to your channel. You are my favorite homesteader. I try things from other channels that just don’t work right and I think to myself that they don’t really use these products they just make videos.

[@mburton2402]

I have several channels that I subscribe to and follow. I don't rely on YT to notify me. I check specific ones every day or every other day. If what has been posted doesn't interest me I just move along to the next one. But I do try to consciously support the channels because you all work so hard on these videos.

[@wednesdaysworld1471]

[@vallhacarter4094]

I haven't seen notifications for several channels for awhile. I do check from time to time.

[@darleneschreiber9415]

I'm watching more and more on Rumble...your videos and just in general. But, I'm still getting your notifications here on YT, thankfully. I don't know if it matters, but we use Nord VPN, and this computer is our desktop, not using the Wifi, and is running Windows 7. I've been VERY careful, for several years (obviously) what goes into this desktop. We have laptops and Chromebooks that run off of Wifi, and have the most up to date OS....they're like our "computer junkfood". 😄 But, the serious stuff (banking, etc), we do with the desktop dinosaur! Like I said, I don't know if it matters, but I don't seem to have the YT problems that most others report...when I use my dinosaur. *shrug* Thanks, Heidi, for persevering for us! We appreciate it! God bless you! 🥰

Heidi, just yesterday I noticed I hadn’t seen any posts from you in a while and I went looking directly, just as you recommended and there they were. Horrible what YT is doing to you.

[@Minnehaha64]

Oh my goodness, Heidi! These people need prayer! They don’t have enough to do, so they pick on you. Good grief! I wondered what was going on, for some reason it didn't dawn on me that you were being shadow-banned. I think you’ll be okay--you’ve got spunk!

[@karenw9996]

I never turn on notification. When I log in, the channels I subscribe to are listed on the left side of the screen, and all I have to do is click on them. It takes almost no time or effort, and I can see what all is out there. I've never understood the need to be notified - maybe others are far more busy than I am and won't think to check without getting notifications, I don't know. But I do know that, if I'm busy with a project, getting a notification is not going to make me stop what I'm doing to watch, so it doesn't serve a useful purpose for me.

[@lilylangman5620]

I haven’t seen any on my feed till today. I will check more .

[@church8042]

Hi Heidi! I really loved this very blessed video. Cooking. Yep I am in complete agreement. I used to hate, yes hate cooking. So now at 57 it is very difficult for me. But that is an attitude adjustment needed on my part. It is so funny. My Mother was such a marvelous cook. When she tried to teach us cooking she made it very fun! I miss her so much, but she is with our Lord. Also this new odd AI stuff on KZbin is a real mess. I have heard from many content creators that have to be careful what they say in the recording. One of the folks I watch starts of his video in an almost monotone way "Playing...game...building...my...base...I...am...playing...with". So odd and if I may say: wicked! It is shocking, well not really considering it is demonic, they allow satanic sickness and demonic perversion to be left unchallenged. Oh Lord please bless all who work for your Kingdom! In prayers for those who would attack His Kingdom and His believers. I prayer for you and your family daily. God bless you all! 🙏😃

I don't bother with notifications. I just look through my feed. I search for channels if I'm looking.

[@RainCountryHomestead]

Just keep in mind that is also not a reliable way to find new content from your favorite channels as youtube will often also hide that from your feed. I have had people tell me this for my channel, even just today in one of the comments, and I have also seen it from my own end when I did not see the usual daily video from one of my favorites show up in that days feed but when I went to their channel, sure enough, there was a new video

[@stephaniezinsmeister6002]

Thank you Heidi. I've always put off trying something new like making bread because I know I'll mess up but you give me the confidence to try. I've been dehydrating lots of stuff and fermenting and making vinegar. Thank you again for giving me the courage to try!!

[@yaya_vibe2504]

Don’t give up! Walk away and come back if you have to, but you’ll learn it and it’ll become second nature. It took me years to learn how to cook good and make bread correctly. I’m soooo glad I stuck with it and now enjoy this food every day. ❤

[@fortitudinefarm]

I can tell ya when I first tried to make bread, my chickens ate a lot of “bricks”! I’d go watch more you tube and I just couldn’t understand why I got bricks and not those pretty fluffy loaves of bread. I can need up watching a video of a bread maker that heated her home with wood like I do. Let me tell ya!!! There’s a learning curve with baking if you cook with wood heat! The air is more dry and therefore dough doesn’t act the same. I followed her modified tips and we enjoyed our first loaf of bread. So if you don’t succeed, keep trying. You’ll learn a lot even with failures

[@mothershelper1981]

I feel lucky I'm still getting daily notifications and seeing your non-video post as well.

[@SherryEllesson]

Heidi, I'm a subscriber and really hate that you're being messed with this way. I see you come up in my feed, but not five times a week. No idea what could be going on there, but somewhere, somebody's got an issue with you and they're taking unfair advantage of their ability to thin out your viewership. I hope that situation gets corrected.

Ahh that topic of developing talent is a huge bone of contention between my husband and I. He gives up and says he has no skills. I’m the opposite and very stubborn and will keep at something until I get it and I will then assess if it’s something worth my time and effort. I’m also a personal trainer so maybe that helped me develop that mindset.

Brake bleeder - So Pat and my son were doing some homeschooling yesterday and replacing my brakes on my truck. I picked up a brake bleeder for him to use. Of course he started to use it, but then ended up doing it the old fashion way. So...I'm gonna have to see if that was his issue with releasing the pressure. I'm also gonna have to check it out and see if I can still use it for vacuum sealing for when my vacuum sealer dies - not sure if it's too dirty to use now. KZbin - It is interesting that as I'm watching your video, there is usually a couple of your videos on the side bar (on a PC) and there isn't any today! Pumpkin - YES, we eat pumpkin for dinner or I spice it up a bit and we have it for dessert!! I have about 5 left that I need to process yet. Rice/Bean bags - I know you didn't talk about this in this video, but wanted to mention that I am making some (15 actually) to give as gifts. I decided to make them sectioned to keep the rice more even. I wanted to share something that is working out really cool. I went to St. Vincent thrift store and picked up pillow cases and used them. I quartered a few pillow cases and then for a couple larger ones I halfed them. Also took an old paper toweling cardboard tube to help with filling them with rice. It's working out great! Thanks again for all you do!! God bless!!

As a baker in my last life, I need to implore people that baking is a science. It is not like cooking anything else. You must follow the recipe exactly, no substitutes, correct amounts and steps in order.

[@RainCountryHomestead]

Depends on what you are baking, I used to be very precise when making pie crusts, breads, biscuits but no longer follow recipes for such, I know by how things look and feel as I am working with them and rarely ever use measuring cups or spoons as I also know how a proper amount looks in the palm of my hand or the lid of whatever it is I am using. Very many people from the older generations also did this. In fact I have a very old cookbook someone gave me that actually says measurements by pinch, handful, et cetera. I believe it is important to start with precision when learning but it eventually becomes unnecessary
