Ep. 63 Eating Real Food at a Homesteading Event

[@AZJH8374]

Thank you for pronouncing coyote correctly!! Can you imagine Wiley coyot! Lol

[@pauline-bc-com-missp]

You three are the best!! Keep it going 👍👍👍

[@BethGrantDeRoos]

Coyotes in our area of the California Sierras can travel around 8-10 miles daily. Unless its summer and hot and then they can travel upwards of 20 miles if looking for water. Mountain lions we have noticed stay close to water. Had new neighbors who moved here from the city and started putting food out for the deer. Then one morning they were sitting eating breakfast, looked out the window and saw a mountain lion take down a doe and start eating. They had no idea what a bad idea it was to feed the deer.

[@AZJH8374]

AZ record breaking heat advisory 114° California, too. Yikes. It's supposed to be 104°! Lol

[@Nuup3831]

I can't believe this podcast is only at 12.8k subscribers. You guys have a great dynamic and I enjoy the banter and weekly recaps.

[@tammysarrazin-ux9tv]

yesterday was 26+ cel. and today was 15 cel. huge change of weather lol please all be safe hugsss

[@bhavens9149]

I love the shop talk, just feels like hanging with friends chatting about stuff that's relevant.

[@AZJH8374]

HI BENS MOM! YOU RAISED A GOOD ONE! NURSE JUDI IN SCOTTSDALE AZ

[@lilianrhodes-heatley6443]

Great podcast as usual. We usually did a couple of dozen ducks a year for the farm shop freezer each year. My other half worked at the local Abattoir where (if selling) we had the ducks and other meats processed.. However if we were plucking ducks for us personally we'd do them in the chicken plucker... Pro Tip the abattoir add blue dawn dish soap to the scalder water... It makes a big difference how the feathers come out. Also ducks are very time sensitive, you need to do the deed just before the pin feathers come through 😁 -there you go, I've finally been one of those commenters who say "you should have" ..... 😂

[@TXNLaurenMcN]

I can't wait 'til Friday gets here, now! I must have checked YT 5-10 times today, waiting for the podcast to show up. I watch all of your channels so I'm already familiar with 60% of what happened during the week, but this still fills in the gaps... and then some!

[@5GreenAcres]

Ben and Jason I can't believe neither of you went over to compliment the CHEF!!!! They work so hard and are so talented. Both of you raved about the food and that is the best thing you can do for a chef is compliment their hard work. Please next time take a minute to thank the chef.

[@dianaj3139]

Hey Ben, You are spot on with the salt and spice! I cannot serve a meal without both!! I love that someone served coffee to everyone... Sounds like a great group ... I would like to hear more about this event... I am on the West Coast so normally anything on the East Coast would be a little expensive. Anyways YES I love Indian Food!

[@keithhogan6997]

Same here, living in the PNW

[@pampilgrim2274]

Good morning, Al, Ben, and Jason! Watching your podcast is a perfect way to begin my weekend. Thanks,Jason, for all your work making this podcast possible.

[@KenHuster]

Great getting meet and chat with yall at the event. Mike and Billy taught the skining method on most of the ducks. Mike explained to usually try and harvest ducks at 7 or 14 months as that's usually when they molt, making the plucking a little easier. Also, using wax for pin feathers. Anyway, really enjoy this podcast. Thanks for sharing.

[@cstewart911]

Al you are super cool homesteader!

[@BethEmily763]

Great podcast gentlemen! Ben wins the week with Everybody had babies!❤❤❤

[@Roger-br4dh]

Jason put clear coat on your trailer that will help the paint. great shop talk guys

[@AZJH8374]

Maybe that's why duck is so expensive! But sooo good. We have a restaurant here that fries their French fries in duck fat. Omg the best fries I've ever had. Their expensive, but people go their just for their fries. Their foods fantastic too

[@ChickenFarmer-ep2bp]

Now that I'm fully retired, I can actually watch you guys. When you post the video, rather than watching you guys in the evening when I got home. Always enjoy listening to you guys. Thank you, gentlemen .

[@davidgetchell3633]

Join the crowd, I've been retired for 21 years now !

[@ChickenFarmer-ep2bp]

@davidgetchell3633 I've been retired for a week now. I'm just trying to get used to things right now and truly enjoying it.

[@margaretkerns4979]

I know I just started back at work and they don’t like you watch KZbin when you’re working at school.

[@Flowers4Bees.Veggies4Me]

Love listening to you guys catching up. Great friendship. 💚💚💚

[@conniecashion]

another great podcast love all three of you best of the best you all are

[@mgtmoffat8411]

I like listening to you three discussing your week. Great chat as always.

[@brokenmeats5928]

I love ALL Homestead Shop Talk Podcast videos!

[@bobainsworth5057]

That's why farmers always had their "Sunday go to meetings" , cloths. One winter ,one summer.😊😊

[@denisewilson8367]

So true. I still do that. I was raised that way.

[@margaretbedwell3211]

Al, sounds like you should take some of your coffee to sell at the event your going to. Might bring in some more customers for you. Ben Jason, glad you enjoyed the conference you went to. Sounds like a good time was had by all. Thanks for sharing your week. Y'all have a Blessed day.

[@lilianrhodes-heatley6443]

@@margaretbedwell3211 that's what I thought about... Lumnar Acres Coffee for next year ☕ Jason could raise the chickens and provide the cooler... Ben could provide a pig for the pig roast. Do a bigger joint team event with Billy, Mike and the others.

[@carroldahl7378]

That's what I thought, too.

[@gingin21jr]

Have a great weekend U3

[@Homesteadshoptalk]

Thanks for the visit

[@robertschroeder1978]

Great video gentlemen very much enjoy your updates. Subscribed to everyone's Channel and always enjoy the content and following along on your different journeys.

[@Homesteadshoptalk]

Thanks 👍

[@jenniewolford1631]

I carry those little Redmonds everywhere 😅

[@tammysarrazin-ux9tv]

the 3 of you have many ideas that sound like great company starters maybe you should try to get ideas for them hugssss

[@dropshot1967]

The beauty of cooking low salt food is that people that want their food to have more salt can still add salt. If the food has the salt added to it, the people that want/need their food to be low salt can't eat it. Don't be too quick, in telling/sugesting people who want to limit their salt intake that they are wrong, they might have a reason for it. I have a serious case of Atrial fibrillation (a few days of normal heart function, followed by a few days of Atrial fibrillation) and, while I don't eat low salt, I do limit salty food because if I eat too much salt, my period of normal heart function is shorter by days and my physical abilities during the atrial fibrillation are seriously limited. Combined with the fact that my measured blood pressure after eating salty food is higher, which probably triggers my previously mentioned complaints, makes me want to keep my salt within limits. So people with heart and blood pressure problems might want/need to limit their salt intake. And yes, eating food that other people find tasty, can be too salty for me. I have a few years of experience in figuring out what triggers a reaction for my condition and what does not.

[@KunesRGr8]

Hello 👋 guys, I watched a video Greg Judy did and explains what he uses for lightening protection for his fence charger

[@taraconnelly3563]

We came home from a family gathering this weekend to our Toms were out of the electrical fence fighting. We had to separate them until butcher day. It was like spark switched on. They were puffed up and just going at it. They wouldn’t even stop for food.

[@osmadchlo]

I love the podcasts, but also love all your channels. Been with Al the longest, before Hope but when Figaro was already grown. Ben next, since you and Meg started your cross country trip and I was so excited when you chose NC! Jason, I just subscribed since you guys started the podcasts, but I knew of you from a lot of other channels where you have been there and helped them out with projects. I have no earthly idea why it took me so long... but I appreciate your earnestness and your many talents. ❤

[@davidgetchell3633]

I too have been watching Al the longest, then I saw both Ben and Jason doing jobs for Justin Rhoads.

[@billinfallon2634]

Hope y'all have a great weekend !

[@jenniewolford1631]

We order from Moose!!

[@dr3406]

💕💗💕🙏🙏🙏 Loved the podcast. Smiled the whole time. You really brightened my day. Have a blessed weekend!!! 💕💗💕

[@gloriatwiggs467]

This old girl 79, enjoys watching your channels for different reasons, I enjoy Jason and Lorane and the patient way he does explain what he is doing and why. Now Ben blesses me as I watch him teaching his young men to work and of course Meg and the two little darlins are his Bonus for hardwork. Now Al, "The Man is prepared". I especially like to know your weather because I have a MIA Son living in Berwick Maine. Thank you from South Louisiana. #PressOnRegardless.

[@debbieshort9660]

Thanks for having me.

[@Homesteadshoptalk]

Any time!

[@tammysarrazin-ux9tv]

tiny bit of dawn dish soap will loosen the feathers better i think its like 2 tbsp to 55 gallon barrels of boiled water hugsssss

[@_wwhiskers]

They have tire changing mounts that cost like 50-100 bucks on harbor freight or someplace similar and just anchor it in your shop or on a pallet and you can change any tire. Comes with the bead breaker attached to it and a big ass bar to get the tire off/on. One of the best tools I've purchased.

[@josephpedone2004]

Hi guys ☕️ happy Friday, have a great weekend

[@neonathomahill4460]

Love the podcast !...Hey Jason, I was a professional painter for over 20 years...paint doesn't stick to silicone . if you have to paint again (later) consider using paint-able caulk over the silicone. the caulk will stick to the silicone and the paint will stick to the caulk. it just takes a thin layer of caulk over the silicone. hope this will help.

[@jenniewolford1631]

Happy Friday 🎉

[@markpashia7067]

Nothing wrong with some toms going to freezer camp early. Having a few 12-14 lb ones is not a bad thing.

[@cynthiabolick3892]

Hello my 3 great KZbinrs....Hey Jason and Ben never heard Al tell ya of his NEW more power tractor....lol..WOW it is really nice. Tks for video...will be watching ya'll all next week and be back here to listen to you every Friday...much love......

[@dhanson4698]

We never (back in the sixty's) harvested brussel sprouts until after frost. Luv Yall.

[@shirleybewley6646]

Lololo I don't own any dress up clothes. Just my newest jeans and t shirts!

[@denisewilson8367]

There are a lot of people who have health issues and can't have salt. Even restaurant cooks cook without salt also. You can add salt while eating and it doesn't have to be "cooked in".

[@kayrabey1344]

I love Indian food! Not too spicy but just right! 😊

[@ronaldcummings6337]

I have heard that adding soap to the scauld water aids in plucking.

[@tammysarrazin-ux9tv]

Jason if you do decide to ship checkout Our Wyoming life he ships all over the U.S. they use heavy duty boxes and dry ice Mike shows you how they do it hugsssss

[@bhavens9149]

Ben you'd like Tandoori (insert any meat here), and you can get it spicy. its very tender, and you can spice up or down as one pleases.

[@KunesRGr8]

Hello 👋 again guys, I had the same problem with getting lawnmower tires repaired or replaced. Most tire shops don’t have the proper liability insurance to cover any type of tire except motor vehicles. I have one independent tire repair shop that does my tires and because they will do all of my tires they get all of my tire repair, rotation, oil changes, and maintenance for the car as well. Try an independent shop for those repairs 👍💪🙌🌈✌️🐖🐷🐽

[@greenenough1727]

Yes Ben, just make one!

[@deborahtofflemire7727]

Yup fun times again

[@helengibbs3862]

Awesome as always ❤

[@deltorres2100]

Yes , ow while you’re machines are working I would order what you need for it now so when y’all have it when they’re down, I do that plenty for everything household items yard items. I want to keep notes and keep them in my phone so when I’m out and about I double check what I need

[@stephaniewilson3955]

That sounds like Peking Duck that you had at the show. The original recipe not the meat bird.

[@doylerabjohn3435]

Good morning afternoon y'all, I clean ducks at once they weren't too bad. It was actually a mallard duck. Definitely took longer to pluck than a chicken.

[@rebeccadavis7219]

I HAVEN'T MISSED AN EPISODE..

[@patticooper8703]

Sounds like a fun event in Fletcher N C

[@charlesvickers4804]

Jason I lost my breeding tom recently would you be interested in selling one of your toms. I'm hoping to come up for one of Ben's first two workshops.

[@rcjo2]

Good morning! Might have to watch the last part later. They're shutting off my power for the day because a small housing development is going in down the road. 😢 Of course on one of the hottest days this summer. I hate this "progress!"

[@larrysowada9905]

Ben you talked about the NC red wolf the last time i checked they were a endangered spices just thought I'd say something about it but look into them and see if their in your area. The best tasting of collard greens is after the first frost.

[@jenniferroberts8785]

You guys should plan a shop talk get together. Where you meet your listeners and talk shop. No classes just hanging out. And talking.

[@territn8871]

Hey Ben, after you were talking about the coyotes/wolf on your property, I googled wolves in NC. The article I read said NC has endangered red wolves, and they can be found in 5 NC counties: Beaufort, Dare, Hyde, Tyerrell, and Washington counties. Not knowing your county, that may have been a red wolf you saw. It did say those counties were in eastern NC. I've also read articles in the past that the northeastern states now have "Coywolves" where coyotes and wolves have bred together. They are slowly migrating to mid-Atlantic and southern states. So they may now be in NC as well.

[@kimberlyschiele1117]

Wow I can't believe I've been watching all you guys for 5 years I found Ben and Meg when they moved into their property they the day they moved in was the video I found and then I also watched Jason and Lorraine moving to their property sorry Al I didn't find you when you moved into yours I don't know I don't know how long you been there but I was flabbergasted when I found out you had 500 Acres good grief exclamation point😮

[@maryturner3534]

QR code is a great idea but take orders to build trailers

[@lillianperry6451]

Alwys enjoy your pocasts a fleshing out pf your videos.

[@tdewtx]

I think it is going to be a cold winter

[@brittanyleighstevens5904]

Goat meat is one of the best tasting meats you guys should try it

[@peggylambert6675]

Jason, my husband raises turkeys in our back yard. He said that once a turkey is wounded, the rest of the turkeys will pick at it. You will have to keep your wounded turkey separate until it is healed.

[@keithhogan6997]

Chickens act the same way. Which has me wondering if you can use the same kind of medication/spray on turkeys that are used with chickens to stop them from being pecked at.

[@tracyzabelle]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@gelwood99]

Al, Jess Sowards from Roots and Refuge will be at that event.

[@kellygreen8255]

❤

[@MrHowieZ1973]

You guys need some short sleeve coveralls like grandpas used to wear made by Key company

[@AZJH8374]

d... mom & l both have a fib. Her Dr told her on her last hospitalization that she needs MORE SALT. NO CAFFEINE BUT MORE SALT. CARDIAC PROBLEMS AS WELL. SALT ON PEOPLE. MY GYN SAID I NEED NORE SALT. WERE AZ PEOPLE THO. NURSE JUDI IN SCOTTSDALE AZ FOR OVER 4 DECADES. BTW

[@pennywillis8895]

[@happyhuntress9244]

Jason, put a sign out in front of your house regarding the chickens and turkeys.

[@BrendaHewitt-y1w]

❤😊

[@deltorres2100]

Let me ask y’all since you’re all homesteaders besides Food do you stock up on things so when the weather comes you know the cold cold weather comes I don’t have to get out as much or you know do you buy on Amazon buy bulk at the store? I’m sure you’re prepare for items whether that’s Hardware, houseware hygiene product do y’all stock up now?

[@jenniewolford1631]

That little brake adjuster has been my enemy to many times, only have had ro deal with them on my own order vehicles

[@bingo45373]

Hey Gina sneak and get Al some shorts and ts unless he is like me and picky about what he gets and this was a good podcast oh I forgot there the good spicy hot that has flavor then there is truck stop food spicy hot and no flavor

[@pleasantplacesfarm]

The red wolves that they introduced in NC were at the coast.

[@carolynspaulding6322]

Where is that Al?

[@Bindy36]

Love your lifestyle but hate poop and flys

[@PatrickPoet]

That's weird, Peru doesn't use spice like Mexico, all their stuff is pretty bland

[@angelaburrell-lewis5712]

Gentleman, you need to have going out clothes designated for going out. Don't use them for your daily chores.

[@radmilamiljanic5977]

Al, we'll tell Gina that you don't consider her food good food:)))

[@dhanson4698]

Salt n Spice works! Might want to research, what u sticking in ur ears, hanging off your belt, AND what light are u letting in. It really is all about the wave. Plz don't let all the hard work be be for naught! From grandma with Luv!
