[@kerrihatz2410]

I HAVE NEVER SAT AND WATCHED A VIDEO THE ENTIRE LENGTH OF THIS VIDEO. It was so much fun... have been watching Kevin and Sarah for so long and have learned so much more about them through this video. Thank you for your collaboration.

[@DusterMudPodcast]

Thank you so much for letting us know that you enjoyed it!! It was our pleasure 😊-Shelley

[@lakesideof.grateful]

Amazing podcast, and I have watched Kevin and Sarah for over 8 years, they have taught me oh so much ! And this was a different side of them both, so relaxed I found myself watching the entire video, the First for me, when it comes to podcasts !

[@DusterMudPodcast]

Thank you for your kind words of encouragement!! I’m so glad that you enjoyed it! -Shelley ❤️

[@kathylewis5558]

I loved this podcast. I watch Kevin and Sarah's every videos. Thank you for having them on your show. You have given so so much educational information. Bless you and your homestead.

[@shellyholdren6120]

Awesome chat. We bought 6 acres of raw land in 2019...slowly getting it ready, moving finally next year. Turned our waiting room into classroom, am so grateful to have been watching, learning and growing with so much help from you! Priceless experience you share. We are older too so it's awesome to feel supported in our endevour. raised beds are great because it's easier on the knees!!! Blessings!

I am 66 years old and looking back…..I’m so glad I listened to that little voice of things to do in life. Wow …… the impact of those decisions I made had a huge impact in my life. I realize now it was God’s voice guiding me. People…..never ignore that inner voice. My dad chose to raise us in the country in south Mississippi instead of San Diego or Fort Worth and I see why now. I have 14 acres from my grandparents land and I would not have it any other way. I think the next generation should consider moving further north because of global warming. We are in for bad times ahead and we should prepare anyway we can. God bless. ❤❤❤

[@kayb7415]

Fantastic podcast! I am a want to be homesteader, but at 65 I live vicariously through your KZbin channels! ❤

[@jonesfamilyfarm9230]

New Subscriber! I love Living Traditions Homestead it seems like I’ve gone to a 4 year college taught by them 😂It’s been 4 years since we left the city and have been on our Homestead I’ve watched Kevin and Sara all this time. I have never thought which animal I’d let go of 1st. Very interesting topics!

[@marshak1926]

Loved this discussion. Thank you all!

[@busymom532]

Great information and very sensible! Very encouraging!!

[@JeanneKinland]

👍 Great Show guys! Nice to see my two favorite couples together on a podcast. Great information you are sharing. Thanks to your podcast I have been on a quest to discover my LOCAL famers and connecting to them. We found a farmer that sells everything. Their pasture raised eggs sell for $6.95 / dz. Raw whole milk is $15/ gal. I think I'm going to get my own chickens in the spring. I'm a full time RN but, very close to retirement and I just don't have the time right now to care for them. I want to spend this winter getting things set up for the spring chicks.

[@AshSmokin]

I am so for this! love this couple

[@lifeinthepiedmontVirginia]

Great interview catching the replay. I can relate to much of what you are saying. Thanks for the transparency. Blessings

[@debsenritchedrefuge603]

Fantastic, Incredible Podcast that I will share and listen to again.. Great wholesome people, all of you!

[@DusterMudPodcast]

Thank you so much for your encouraging words! ❤️-Shelley

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Thanks for this Pod Cast , really enjoyed seeing you all together here and on Sarah and Kevin's Live Stream . Both great talks about Homesteading. Stay safe and keep up the great videos. Fred.

[@trishapomeroy9251]

That was so much fun! I'm really enjoying seeing all of you working together.

[@DusterMudPodcast]

So happy to hear that you enjoyed it!! It was so much fun to record 😊-Shelley

[@chrisj743]

Great podcast. Love Living Traditions!!! Keep up the good work Kevin and Sarah

[@DusterMudPodcast]

Thank you so much! We’re glad you’re enjoying the podcast and appreciate your support! --Rich

[@jsmunson8467]

This sharing was so insightful! I felt like I was in the room with you four! Try to save your shoulders and carry 1/2 buckets. Now at 70 (can’t believe my age!!!! But I keep going due to our farmstead), I feel that it’s important to pace ourselves on all fronts. Love you four !!!!

[@DusterMudPodcast]

We truly appreciate your support and feedback! It means a lot to know that our conversation felt so personal to you--that was honestly our goal. Sending love back to you and your farmstead! --Rich

[@katiez5660]

We got married in 1974. Two years later we moved to old house and three acres in central Illinois. Then to 80 acres in 1979 in Missouri. We ended up on 20 mostly wooded acres since in 1989. We worked outside the home the whole time.

[@donnarodriguez4755]

Enjoyed this podcast with Kevin and Sarah.

[@DusterMudPodcast]

I'm glad you enjoyed it! Kevin and Sarah had some fantastic insights to share. --Rich

[@glendaking4596]

Love love love this podcast ! Two of my favorite channels together. There is a wealth of good information and things to think about in here. I want to transition into homesteading. Great advice and information in there. Made me think AND laugh!

[@beckiepatrick6900]

❤️LTH!! Been watching them for years and their content has never gotten old. They are honest, hard working, God Loving, Good People!! It was great to sit and listen to a little behind the scenes info!! Great podcast and a great way to start my day. Thanks! ❤😊

[@jholcomb9532]

We also felt a sense of urgency and after much prayer, we moved from Michigan to rural NC Florida in May 2021. So glad we did.

[@Kd4stt.]

Thank you all for sharing a few of your lifetime experiences. Blessings from Southeast Tennessee.

[@MarilynOhearn]

Yes I'm still watching and hoping to Missouri. Maybe this spring.

[@Nana9112go]

I totally appreciate how loud the buff hens are. We are in a subdivision in winters and I will also run out and give them treats to quiet them. Law is 6 and I have 11 and 2 turkeys. Also, thank you Kevin for your education on my male turkey. Everyone, don’t skim descriptions. I guess I did and Kevin gently told me my male was hybrid. Ugh!! Got him for breeding 😂😂😂😂 I know now:)

[@DusterMudPodcast]

That’s too funny!! And so true, the hatchery description is definitely a must read. 👍🏼👍🏼-Shelley

[@katiez5660]

Missouri soil is big, little and small rocks. We had a neighbor that refused to water the garden. Would have been impossible the last few years. If you’ve never watched Gabe Brown his journey to having farmland was difficult. Everyone must find their way. My mom was severe diabetic. Doctor said she could have watermelon. Not a whole one in a few days. 😂

[@susieqmartin2746]

I 100% agree with everything you said! We have had a garden our entire lives my parents had garden as a married wife I always had garden and canned. I attribute that to having really good health also we have stop a high carbohydrate diet and lost more weight! Back in the 1990’s we had the chickens and farm. Now we still have garden even though we don’t have the farm anymore!

[@onemoredoll5791]

Best podcast ever! I have an urban backyard raised bed garden (13 + herb beds, small orchard etc) and chickens. My favorite season "next season!" Haha! Every question I would have asked Homestead Traditions was asked. I loved it! Been following you both for awhile. Living Traditions Homestead introduced me to you all and I started "keto" that moment. Its been almost a year on Dec 10. Lost 35 and gained back 5 over the past few months due to going Low Carb through the holidays but still no bread/taters/corn/sugar ever. Same reasons as you all. I have gone from keto to carnivore to psmf to low carb. Often doing ketovore makes me personally feel my best. Sarah would do great with episodes for keto/low carb gardening. Has anyone done that? I bet it becomes a hot topic now that we hope to make America Healthy Again. Wanted to say that my inlaws have bought 3 acres and now doing the "instead". My niece also moved out my way and also starting a backyard garden with chickens and a small orchard.

[@Lucy1234-y2k]

I am so glad I came across this video. Kevin and Sarah are so knowledgeable!!

[@terryl.9302]

Kevin/Sarah : Sooo Glad you said what you did abt being Debt Free, then buying to invest in a future life. Been doing the 'very poor' last few yrs w/ tools, seeds, etc. Thought I was the only crazy one lol. *Have worked for myself & it's hard giving up a socially accepted routine. Now I'd not have it any other way. Wd have to be 'perfect' for me to accept another job. I like the project mentality & never being bored. (😵‍💫Each day another adventure, ya? ..lol.)

[@lauriereber8939]

Thank you for this Podcast. It was like visiting with friends. I would suggest, though, that while you did not work outside of the home, raising children and keeping the home is honorable work in and of itself. Thank you.

[@kathybergman4409]

The food in the grocery store is less expensiver than at the farmers' market. People living paycheck to paycheck don't always have a lot of choices.

[@gailmcdonald1946]

Great chat guys, interesting topics, ❤ Kevin and Sarah

[@DusterMudPodcast]

Thanks for watching! We had a blast chatting with them. --Rich

[@auntiesam8489]

Absolutely enjoyed this podcast. This is within my top two favorite across all genre of interest to me. God Bless. ❤

[@DusterMudPodcast]

Thank you so much for your kind words! It means a lot to know that our podcast is among your favorites. God bless you too! --Rich

[@ronalee34]

Really enjoyed this conversation. I laughed at the 'chicken eggs' story. I live in the UK and I thought it was funny that they say 'tomato ketchup'. Then I found out there are lots of other kinds including mushroom ketchup. It turns out 'ketchup' refers to the preservation method.

[@dennisragsdale9819]

What part of the Ozarks are you in I have lived here all 63 years of my life. And love it here

[@DusterMudPodcast]

The Ava area. We love it here too!!

[@Elense957]

Native Missourian here and yes, everyone figured out land in Missouri was cheap so it no longer is. 😢

[@mileydisfunes4120]

Great video … I enjoyed… a lot info … hope a lot more people can see it …

[@daniellebourgal8945]

So excited to hear about your podcast!

[@dhansonranch]

Interesting podcast. Some great conversations. Well done.

[@delsonmorris5903]

Loved listening to your podcast

[@DusterMudPodcast]

I'm glad you enjoyed the podcast! It means a lot to hear that. --Rich

[@katiez5660]

I lost 10 lbs on a standard American in 6 months by swimming three times a week. BUT my tastes changed. I lost sugar and salt cravings. I do think many people do well on mainly plant based diet while others on protein.

[@brockreynolds870]

As a 4th generation native Missourian, I can give you the lowdown. 1: the Ozark region is stunningly beautiful. But lots of poverty and lots of meth 2: North Central is very Ag oriented, but there are also a lot of corporate farms. I feel the best place to be is in unincorporated area of a county just outside of a metro area. Such as where I live, which is Johnson County. Your'e close enough to be a 30-45 drive from everything, including good medical care, but far enough away to avoid all the pitfalls. There is a lot of wild swings in the weather, but we have far les tornadoes, overall. Our yearly average is HALF of what Kansas is, with roughly the same land area. So the counties I recommend are Johnson, Cooper, Saline, Pettis, Randolph, Phelps, Maries, Gasconade, Henry, Moniteau, Cedar, Benton, Morgan, Howard, Miller, Osage, Crawford, Franklin.

[@brockreynolds870]

I live on a 40 acre homestead in unincorporated Johnson county, have a full orchard, vegetable garden, 2 freezers full of produce, and 4 fully stoked fishing ponds. My family have lived our entire lives this way. Many people out here, however, didn't take the pandemic seriously at all. And therefor, we lost many people, but it is what it is. For some people they can't hear, they gotta feel. Our society has gotten incredibly soft, and aren't willing to make any kind of sacrifice that puts a crimp in their first world lifestyle. My grandparents had to deal with polio fears, the great depression, and RATION STAMPS during WW2. People would lose their ever loving minds if the government told them how much meat, sugar, and coffee they could buy in today's world.

[@chouavang2765]

I like collie flower.... Steak

[@DusterMudPodcast]

Us too! --Rich

[@patriciapayne1866]

Maybe we should have Kellogg and other company’s show us , and refuse bad ingredients and do like other country’s.

[@tmiller6989]

I thought dust’er mud ended their podcast a couple days ago? Is it still on????

[@DusterMudPodcast]

Actually we love it so much that we made its very own Channel!! Weekly podcasts about Food Freedom and Farming!

[@chouavang2765]

Last year I was on welfare and had to I bought 97 cent baloney 4 pack with white bread and mustard .....and bottled water.... No veggies.....and I was depressed and mostly watching tv...with in a month I developed gout and I was only 40 years old.....it was that damn cheap baloney that I used as a main meal .. now I'm walking more and incorporated fruits n veggies and drinking water...

[@DusterMudPodcast]

It sounds like you've been through a tough journey, but it's inspiring to see how you've turned things around! Incorporating more fruits and veggies is a fantastic step towards better health. Keep it up! --Rich

[@debrathompson2008]

A question to all of you, how much do you Love the freedom of living rurally and not having so many restrictions and regulations.

[@DusterMudPodcast]

I absolutely love the freedom that comes with rural living, especially in our county where there aren't any building codes, permits, or restrictions. The clerk at the courthouse laughed and said "you have permission" when I asked about a building permit. SO MUCH FREEDOM!! --Rich

[@michaelvick4482]

The food pyramid we learned as kids is a myth

[@DusterMudPodcast]

Right!

[@chouavang2765]

My rabbit died when I was 10

[@DusterMudPodcast]

I'm really sorry to hear that. Losing a pet can be such a difficult experience, especially at a young age. --Rich

[@jo-annjewett198]

No shade but just not into live broadcasts. I just don’t get into a lot of talk. I like concrete ideas presented simply.

[@90814Karen]

Why do you feel the need to eat meat? I find it very cruel and there are many of us who survive and thrive without it!

[@jholcomb9532]

Why do you feel the need to question what other people eat? Live and let live.

[@onemoredoll5791]

I wanted to chime in. I was a raw food vegan for years mostly due to the animal abuse going on. My husband did amazing on it. My nephew is now vegan. I felt great for a year but then my health took a turn yet I stayed the course for years and almost opened a restaurant. I finally felt I needed to add things back in. Now, being mostly carnivore/keto I have found what works for me. I think factory farming is cruel. Animals living on land by owners like these makes all the difference to me.

[@DusterMudPodcast]

We believe it to be the best for our health but absolutely respect your decision to live without it! --Rich

[@daniellebourgal8945]

So excited to hear about your podcast!

[@DusterMudPodcast]

Thank you! --Rich
