Simple Tips to Build RESILIENCY Now! | Pantry Chat with Justin Rhodes

[@Rivergrl84]

Justin’s stock market comment about pigs reminded me of my Dad, when we complained about taking care of the smelly pigs, he’d say “that’s the smell of money, so get busy”

[@shell8795]

At the start of the pandemic I found both of your channels and started diligently watching all of your episodes. Our young family of four lived in the over populated suburbs and could barely fit a raised garden bed in. During this time my husband and I both got the deep desire to get property and start a homestead. Your videos gave so much inspiration and knowledge to go for it. We ended up finding some property, moved an hour away & fast forward to now, we have 6 laying hens, big garden areas with tons of veggies thriving, fruit tress, strawberry patch, 30 meat bird chicks about to go in the chicken Tractor to pasture and have a farm 5 minutes away where we source our beef. Now with all the talk of food shortage, our family has such a strong peace a mind. Thank you so much for sharing your stories, knowledge and inspiring other families like ours! What an impact ya'll are making! God bless ya'll!

[@veronicadavanzo2064]

I love your story! I also got interested in homesteading around the same time but was waiting to finish a degree so was not able to move. I’ve been gardening and preserving and developing relationships with local farmers in the meantime and am looking forward to transferring my projects and starting new ones on a new property sometime this year. Good to know there are others out there who are successful in their new homesteading journey!

[@MRGoods89]

It's inspiring to hear this kind of success. My wife and I are moving in a month to a rural spot with a modest amount of land. I'm very excited to start homesteading!

Building a life you don’t need a vacation from what a great concept.

[@michelegonzales7345]

I have 1 1/2 acers, part of which is covered by a house, garage, and swampy water catchment area and a good sized garden. I also have chickens (layers), chickens (meat), ducks, and turkeys. This year's project is getting the permaculture orchard going. In the ground so far are 4x apple and pear trees, 3x cherry trees and 3x aronia shrubs. I still have additional shrubs to get into the ground, time???. I'm trying to figure out how to afford and set up the pig-port. I'm a single income grandmother, that gets occasional assistance from others. I'm tired, but I'm trying to get further every day

[@teresaprice5070]

I was raised on a farm, and Grandma's favorite saying was, "We eat/use everything on the pig, except the oink!" 😂

[@milkmaid4077]

My husband in a Nopy, it can't be done. It takes me a while to figure out the 2 person jobs but I eventually get them done alone. I've even used pullies and my truck to stand up walls 😉

[@thepreparedqueen]

What really hit home for me this week, and you guys touched on it in this video, was remembering what I do to set up systems this year, will help me next year, and every year after. Thank you for the confirmation 💚

[@teresaprice5070]

NOTHING beats the written word and the feel of tactile BOOKS!!!! 🥰❤

[@homesanctuaryliving]

I love his thinking about adding on a little each year and each day to create a system that get easier over time. That is my mindset too. Sometimes it costs more initially but in the long run saves time. I also love what he said about not going crazy. Focus on what things you love. I have no desire to have a cow or pigs, but gardening, bees and chickens are perfect for me.

[@hyrographics1731]

I came across this video, after a couple days of thoughts and tears, only a few minutes in I know this is God’s answer to my fears and worries! You ARE speaking in His spirit gentleman💖 God bless you guys and your whole family’s, for reminding us of God’s goodness towards us! And that he is a God of solutions, not doubt! Love and hope for your health and happiness!

[@diannamc367]

I wish I had the 9-5. I leave home at 5:30 in the morning and hope to get back home by 5:30 in the evening. I've been doing chickens for the last 2 years (haven't had them in the last 8) and trying to get a broody to hatch some out this year. I have a herd share that's ending in about 5 months so I started looking at dairy goats but it scares me being away from home so much. (Especially thinking about kidding time.) I have plenty of space to work with, I just need to find the time, lol. Great talk btw!

[@rachelrichards717]

You two are full of such amazingly helpful information. Thank you!!

[@robynwalters6083]

Woooo. I got more chickens last year and made a much bigger run for them. I first learned from Justin Rhodes how to use my chickens to make compost because I'm just a lazy gardener. After a heavy rain everything got compacted down. So I went out there to turn it over and fluff it up. The native soil was pale brown and clay-y, now it the deepest black and I harboring tons of earthworms! I'm so glad that I stumbled on Justin Rhodes vids

[@sarajacobs8775]

I am loving all these collaborations with other KZbinrs!!!!

[@bsimmons2577]

Just start sharing with friends - I just picked up tomato, pepper, tomatillo etc. starts from a local nursery and a friend and I are sharing the 4 packs. Saves $$$ and I didn't have to build a greenhouse, do the starts myself etc. JUST START - no more excuses!!

[@totalwreckranch3370]

This is our third year of really building our homestead. This pantry chat was super helpful in that It drives home the idea of not having to do It all! While I think we know that innately- it’s easy to get caught up in the “next thing” before you’re actually mastering the “one thing!” Thanks! ❤️

[@ldpetchell]

Binge on Josh and Justin! We been growing in raised beds for 8 years now. Filled beds with debris from our less then acre property, then bought good compost to tip it. Garden has done great! Still learning about different seasons of growing. As well I finally talked my husband into getting chickens. Got to get in building a coop now. I hope listening to you two will help him be less stressed moving into being a bit more self sufficient. Also, we have been ketovore for 8+ years for our health. But we still grow veggies that we know we can and will eat Thanks guys!

[@adelegower834]

Heres a story for ya.....i spent 20 years building soil on a rented proprrty....garden 35 x 35'.....then my landlady died and it got sold to a construction business... I mean it was echo perfect!!!. ..blue birds, black snakes, turtles, spiders,etc.. no insects for the most part.....and now. ......its a..PARKING LOT!!!! But did i learn from that garden....nc clay to 4-6 inches of perfect soil...even red velvet ants who destroy yellow jackets. ....now God moved me to Ohio....I'm homesick for nc.....bn putting money away....just need direction.....love this conversation

After a disappointing day yesterday this was the best chit chat to listen to. Thank you for shifting my mindset to HOW

[@firechick561]

I LOVE your channel..we were dairy farming for a few years & dabbled in chickens, pigs, & some homesteading crafts like making cheese. But pigs are very intelligent- and more than once our neighbors were calling us to come corral our pigs who found a way to escape...again. And they are especially crafty in maneuvering when the chase is on! 😂 Just a word of caution to newcomers! 😄

[@amandataylor682]

My dad had a good suggestion for me. We are not a hunting family but my uncle is. He suggested I ask my uncle if he planned on using up his doe tags and, if he wasn't, asking him to shoot a doe or 2 and I pay for the processing. It's good way to get a good amount of venison in the freezer if you don't have the ability to hunt on your own.

[@VickyMyers-hl2bg]

I am a 66 year old poor woman trying to get my 5+ acres to function for me. Those systems are so far behind. Finding someone else who wants to be invested in helping has been impossible let alone finding a farm sitter. Basically I planted a row of peas when I got back to this farm I was raised on and the rabbit ate it. Got my beds in with chicken wire under and around then the bind weed moved in. Then I dug bindweed laid cardboard made new beds and it didn't even slow down the bindweed. So now I need to build beds on legs. Have a cattle panel arch but grew strawberries too close took my viners too long to get going as they were surrounded by berry plants grrrrrrrrr! Spent 2 years diggin siftin and movin dirt from back yard to front a shovel full at a time. Have hills of wood chips that I have to move one 5 gal. bucket at a time. Planted thyme, chicory, and many more plants that reseeded every where.............

[@fouracrefamily9801]

My greenhouse is made from discarded 14’ trampoline frames, the raised beds are made from discarded pallets, the chicken coop is made from recycled lumber… the list goes on. I started from nothing and now have great food and resiliency.

[@tabp8448]

I've collected 3 14" trampolines over the winter, had a truck full of tree mulch dropped off from Chip drop, gotten loads of huge pallets from the local boat/jetski business, all for free. I plan on turning a somewhat lower-laying part of my land into a high tunnel area with great soil by fall, this is an area that i couldn't grow anything on prior because it collected too much water all spring and is clay soil. This will greatly expand my growing area and the growing season, all from "waste".

[@jenniferschmitt7938]

Some parts of the world people eat Guinea pig. I took a trip to Ecuador and had one for dinner and it tasted pretty good. There was not a ton of meat on it but it was good

[@yvonneh.3618]

Loved it!

[@jennykemp915]

Yep and 4000 acres is just the same. I don’t know how you fit videoing in as well😂

[@shadytreez]

Good live soil is the best investment you can make 5 years ago I bought cheap bags of soil from Wallyworld for raised beds and for the 1st 2 years plants struggled to live...let alone grow after adding compost and liquid or granular fertilizer. I planted thornless boysnberry there and the ones that touched and spread to the original soil still grows better

[@SilverBackPreparedness]

Grew up on rabbit. Fried, with some gravy and mashed potatoes is beyond good eating. You can cook it just about every way too, stews whatever. Squirrel as well, I'm a younger guy but grew up with parents and grandparents that hunted and had gardens. We as a society have gotten so far away from the things that they did as regular life, it's crazy.

A lot of places are changing the rules and regulations as to having livestock. I have gotten with local farmers and purchased bushels of vegetables, beef, pork and have my own chickens without a rooster, and my bee's on a little over a acre of land

What problems do you have with the dept of agriculture getting their fingers into your activities, and with IRS Taxes, etc.?

[@charlenemakofsky6606]

Can you please give me your opinion/suggestion?? Do you think it is better to dry can rolled oats (organic oatmeal) or is it better to use an oxygen absorber in a ball jar??

[@anasazirose]

I think it depends on the length of storage. For very long term, mylar bags with o2 absorber in buckets or totes. Over a year under 3, o2 in jars, under a year, dry can.

I’ve turned my veggie garden into raised beds. There is a form around the existing asparagus bed but it is not filled in yet. Should I add soil and hope the asparagus comes up through it or dig it up and replant after filling the raised bed?

[@justpatty7328]

You can top dress, but I wouldn't bury deep. I'm a novice at asparagus growing. My thoughts are that the perennials really prefer the protection of being below the ground level. I've lost several perennials in pots over the years. I hope this helps you. Edit: it may depend entirely on your growing zone and microclimate. Farther north, I wouldn't risk losing them.

[@kkso3318]

There is no time stamp. Can anyone tell me where the main topic starts?

[@sylviahunt9818]

I’m 67 years old and live on an in town 1/8th acre lot. After watching both of you since I retired 4 years ago, I get irritated inside when people call soil dirt. I’m not growing my own food because of health issues. I’ve thought about but I’m just not physically able to. And being on social security only for income, I can’t afford to hire someone to do the work for me... IF I could find someone who was willing to work.

[@tabp8448]

I'm sure there is someone in your area who would love to grow food, but doesn't have enough room. If you could link up with that person, they could grow on your land and you could share the harvest. It would be a win-win for both of you.

I have never Killed to eat any animal. How do you get past the mental block (hello cute bunny or chicken now I have to kill you) Is the noise of death horrible? How do I get past this? signed unsure.

[@percussionof12]

If you want to harvest meat for yourself, you really have to accept ahead of time that it's going to be kinda ugly, and then you just do it and live with whatever feelings it brings up. If you look at them as cute animals it is going to be more emotionally difficult than if you look at them as just food, and so you might prefer to take your animals to a local abattoir and have them do the hard part for you. But if you have resolved in your mind to be ok with taking part in the ugly side of eating meat then I think you can learn to do it without too much difficulty. As long as you can do it quickly and effectively anyway. Seeing an animal suffer because of your own mistake is a terrible experience, even for those of us who are very comfortable with the normal process. Finding someone with a lot of experience to help out might also be a good idea, as they can guide you and help out as needed.
