That's something that I'd really enjoy. I've been doing some ancestry research and I'm enjoying that. I love history too! I've been buying old books at the thrift store and reading them.

Congratulations, Justin! "Everything old is new again" with so many younger viewers. I think they realize that even if there's a major negative event in society, being able to thrive in a low tech environment will allow them to not only survive, but to be comfortable!

[@523jbarrett]

@@kesmarn my fathers one goal was to make sure his children could survive off the land if we had to. Turns out that’s the way I was meant to live. ❤️

[@kesmarn]

@@523jbarrett Yes! It can be so satisfying. My parents were raised as "city kids," but after they married, they decided to buy a little house on 3 acres of land. To say conditions were "primitive" there would be an understatement! But they learned to grow a garden, can food, raise chickens, sew clothing and bake homemade bread and desserts. And we kids learned so much in the process too!

I live in a 500 year old stone cottage that was updated in the 60s by adding indoor plumbing, electricity and a phone line, plus really terrible decor. It has lots of downsides, it is tiny, hard to keep clean and dark in winter, to name a few, but we love it.

[@TheNoonie50]

Ha ha sorry, had to laugh at "really terrible decor"....I have always loved stone houses. Sounds great, wish I could see it.

[@lat1419]

Me too. The house was created 150 years ago from a very old farm house. The end wall is over 4 ft thick the others are 3ft. It acts like a huge stone heat radiator. The decor isn't terrible - its all ours from when we renovated the house that had become uninhabitable from being empty for 25 years. It took 4 years to bring back to life as a home again, but we love living here. When the gales and storms hit us off the Atlantic we feel so safe with these solid walls around us.

The More-with-Less Cookbook by Doris Longacre is wonderful for frugal and nutritious cooking. Published in 1976. Doris was part of the Mennonite community. I have that same BH&G cookbook and the one published before that one in 1989 which has some recipes that I still use.

[@denisebiendarra5996]

We received a cookbook like the Better Homes and Gardens one as a gift from my in-laws for our wedding in 1987. It’s my favorite.

[@anetzband1383]

I LOVED and still love the More-with-Less cookbook and was so sad when she passed so early. In the late 70s we moved overseas where I dealt with very different living conditions (including a wringer washer). That cookbook was a super help as I learned so much from it. Now, our daughter found my old copy recently and is thrilled with trying out some of the recipes too.

[@dorawedlock5055]

I was born in 1940 and lived in the country, no electric, going to the well and pumping all our water winter and summer, going to an outhouse even at 20 below. My mom with sore hands from hanging out clothes, always working no matter how much her feet hurt, no refrigeration, everything had to be canned, shopping in town, probably only once a month. How wonderful it was for her to finally have a few conveniences. A lot of good times, but a lot of not so good either. She had a lot of worries such as what happens when someone gets sick, worrying about things like another depression, or rationing when nothing was available, worrying about so many family members in WW 2, I was married in 1962 and except for a computer don't live that much different.

[@kesmarn]

So interesting to read about your life! I hope you'll continue to include memories and details in your comments.

[@lysp1372]

One must be careful to not overly romanticise the old days. Women had little time for themselves and unless you had hired help, had to do all by themselves. Little time to read and no respite left one exhausted. Many died in childbirth and no meds for infections debilitated everyone including the children. Be careful as you reminisce, remember all of it.

[@xXTheoLinuxXx]

@@HomesteadTessie Owen and I share quite a bit in common (I guess no one noticed LOL) and of them is old radios :) But I am surprised that you noticed a shortwave radio, nowaday even men would hardly know what shortwave is, at least the younger generation. Besides it is oldfashion, it is a prepper item (in my opinion) when something is hitting the fan and a lot of communication falls down, the shortwave band is the way to go. This band is known for the fact that it doesn't need large transmitters and the signals could travel around the world. So it can be handy in time of need.

Hi, Owen. I'm excited to see what Tessie brings us too. Lol, I'm still using the kitchen items that I got in 1971, same mixer, mixing bowls, electric skillet, crock pot, Corningware, etc. I try to take care of things and keep them until they die.😄 My potato peeler is from 1970 and I love it.

Old fashioned living is a part of your soul. I was raised to be a homesteader as were my siblings . My skills are worth their weight in gold. Nowadays more people are learning to appreciate it even on a small scale. I think that's great. Love all the butternut squash in front of you 😊. I grow them every year to cook and bake with. I have old hardcover books that are 100 to 150 years old. I love them and have read all of them. They're mostly about farm life and wartime. I use them to decorate all around the house but in a useful way. I stack them to elevate some houseplants. Makes them look great. I do use modern methods but 80% of what I use is manual and old time ways. I'm 55 but I've always lived a homestead life. I enjoyed it just as much in my twenties as I do now. Looking forward to your 2021 videos focussing on happiness, old fashioned living, and history. Have a great night my friend. 😊💜

Tessie, it was almost eerie listening to you because so many of the things we enjoy are so similar. For the last 10 years or so I've been listening to recordings of radio broadcasts from the 1920's, 30's, 40's and 50's. Especially mysteries and series like "Lights Out" and "Inner Sanctum." Such fun. I also have a collection of book of "household advice for women" as they used to call them. I think the oldest one I have is from about 1850. Sometimes I think the reason I enjoy these things so much is that we know that women of those eras had their heartaches and their worries, but they kept on pushing through and one way or another, they survived. That gives me hope that I can too.

[@DisabledandPrepping]

I found out that my grandma had and I thought I recognized it had the tablecloth that you have in the background the yellow one with the place settings.

Trying to remove or eliminate plastics from modern life is difficult. I reuse glass jars and bottles. I did purchase reusable glass containers for food storage. Candles add ambience so I use them often. My cookbook collection spans the 1940s to present day. The serving sizes from the 40s to the 80s are so small compared to today. Love your outlook on daily life, going back to basics and keeping it simple.

I'm super excited for this new year with all your tips Tessie 🤗

[@kimberlytabor1858]

I have enjoy finding old cookbooks and making the same recipes with of course newer equipment. Everyone can make there home a special place. Seeing your canning shed has reminded me, it's time to rotate my pantry. That time of the year for comfort foods...oh yeah!

Happy New Year Tessie! Old ways are a big part of my life here on the homestead. God bless you..

What a beautiful Harvest of butternut squash you have there. We grew butternut squash one year and we had such a big Harvest we couldn't eat all of it and had to give it away. I was making butternut squash casserole and taking to gatherings and people loved it.

I wish I knew how to quit. My sister inherited a quilt top my great grandma made. She had it hand quilted for me by our local Amish women here in central Missouri. It's beautiful and holds lots of family history.

Living old fashion is a great way to live I try to in my 2005 camper

I admit I feel too spoiled to keep up with you but sooo appreciate the simplicity and have adopted a more simple way of living

[@janebeesley7786]

Love the new direction. You go girl!

[@emiscozycottagelife]

Tessie I love your videos. I’m a little old fashioned too! I do like some modern stuff and new technology. But simple and old fashioned is much better! Sometimes I wish I wasn’t born in this time with all these distractions! But I guess each era had its own problems and distractions lol 😆 maybe it’s good to live now when we can choose to use technology for good.

[@owen4248]

I love the old fashioned ways too :)

[@jenniferwilliams7]

Hi Tessie, I love all your ideas for future videos! Sounds like such fun! I can't wait!

[@christinaoldham6614]

Love your new focus on zero waste, Tessie! Not an easy transition, but even litte steps help our planet. Plus it's the old-fashioned way, isn't it?

[@nancyuren6456]

Oh Tessie, I love the memories of hanging clothes on the line & they would freeze. Mama would bring jeans in & put over top of coal stove to thaw. We had coal heat. I would crack & fill buckets & carry up to house for mama. We had no $. Daddy was killed in mines. She did not bake much. I am currently so excited as I learned to pressure can!!! Now, if I can conquer making bread!! LOL Love you my Pa. sister~~stay warm!!
