This video almost made me cry, because I’m sitting here, completely surrounded by no bacon.

[@ralphknudsen6299]

Mercy me that just looks soooo good!😍💕💕💕

[@jeshurunfarm]

Thank you dude. Respect from Africa 🇿🇦 God love you too.

[@PaulVanWho]

Absolutely beautiful bacon, those closeups were magnificent. What lovely happy pigs to yield such a delicacy.

[@Peterharte73]

It's great to see your kid so involved in what you do I hate seeing kid's left out when they need to be learning the proper old school of living at a young age 👏👍

[@elvisrazem3189]

Looks delicious. I'm salivating. We used to do at home, but not in a so profesional way.

[@readycool9600]

Beautiful bacon 😵‍💫yum😵‍💫I’m from Alabama USA and my father was a Perkins. Everyone always talked about the Perkins nose ( not to worry it was a good thing) which was much like your own. I only have been able to trace my Perkins genealogy to a Samuel Perkins in Virginia born in 1760. Who knows we could be distant cousins.🤭

[@JohnnyGat-gx9fd]

Amazing, thanks for good info on how to make good bacon. I would get rid of those plastic cut boards tho, an ungodly amount of micro plastics going into your food :P

[@markiglesias6794]

Hey Richard, Can I have a piece of cooked bacon?! I'm salivating with your preparation in curing and getting the bacon ready! I like that you have your family involved...you're human!! Mark Pennsylvania

[@alt-swe5503]

Real food! I want that for breakfast for the rest of my life! Does it age at all in the freezer, or are the last pieces as good as the first?

[@whothatswho7756]

You can use Polyphenols instead of nitrates and nitrites for cold smoking.

[@carolewarner101]

Hoping to see a video of all that sausage you made up recently, including the recipes!

[@loue6563]

Looks so good I am jealous. 😉

[@Amostudiofilm]

Congratulation! In Romania the bacon its a traditional food!

[@JoJeck]

you need to do a taste test with Ragnor 😃

[@KristinGasser]

😋😋😋 oh, my gosh… I want that for breakfast!

[@justincowdell5787]

This should be illegal to show on here as it's made me super hungry. That bacon looks amazing pity we can't smell or taste it 🤔😍

[@oxfletch]

I don't have a cold smoker, but I found that using smoked salt works well (San Francisco Salt Company). Do you see any issue with doing that, and slicing and freezing raw?

[@somatder]

very nice tutorial on the bacon making process. I am however surprised to see you cooking up the bacon. The stuff I have made has always been cold smoked, so could be interesting to try this style, Can you dry age this type of bacon?

[@DJearganic]

Did Ragnar get younger? :)

[@RedwoodRootsFarm]

My guess is that this is an old video.

[@reader649]

@@RedwoodRootsFarm And the barns have not been re painted and in a kitchen scene showing the view out the window I do not think the pool is in yet.

[@primopermaculture5491]

I noticed this too!

[@throbinho]

Bacon!!!!

[@homermtz]

Bacon! I'm so jealous....

[@my_freelance_life]

What breed of pig was that. It was difficult to understand clearly in the video.

[@mr.skipper4544]

It's a pig I never heard of before, I would like to see it spelled out

[@jessicah2345]

I think he said Linderod

[@glynmozzie2143]

My wife does not like smoked bacon.(A shame I know). Can you use the bacon after the dry cure without smoking.

[@mrThoreKarlsson]

Is bacon really bacon if it's not smoked ? hmm i wonder :) But to answer your question .. Yes you can The difference is that smoked bacon you can eat it directly without cooking it, unsmoked bacon must be cooked before consumption

[@somatder]

yes, you can. And it has a name. Pancetta. As far as I know it's basically just cured and dried pork without smoke

[@glynmozzie2143]

A year. I could finish that in a week 😅

[@mrThoreKarlsson]

Nicely done with bacon .. More Bacon to the people :) But i'm actually sticking my chin out and say that i would not be afraid of some smaller amount of Nitrate :) but its not needed if you do it right :)

[@rawa5457]

Boczek najlepszy.👍😊

[@richiethetrader]

This is exactly how i make my bacon except I add honey to the mix. Thick cut bacon is where its at for sure.

[@Norbingel]

Aren't chickens also forest animals?

[@FinnBearOfficial]

Where do I get a piglet, again?

[@Soilfoodwebwarrior]

I wonder if you will ever make the connection between your egg, pork and carotenoid containing vegetables and your health issues fam. I finally did. I feel so much better removing sources of preformed vitamin a and carotenoids from my diet. You all can as well if you visit Dr Garrett Smith you tube channel, the Nutrition Detective. Eating primarily grass fed ruminates has been such a revelation for me

[@mrThoreKarlsson]

LOL a "Detoxification Expert LOL

[@healthyrootsstrongwings538]

One day, maybe not tomorrow or next year but one day I swear I´ll impregnate some bacon as well! Happy days
