Good evening Miss Tessie. Even though I live in the city ( NYC), I always use my clothes line to dry my laundry. I also have drying racks ( 4) that I put up inside, near my radiators, or near open windows on warm days. . Two of them are over the door types, to save on floor space. I maintain that it saves me money ; less electricity used, better for the environment, less time sitting at laundry mat waiting for the laundry to dry, and less taxing on the fabric by air drying. Thank you for your videos, keep it up.

[@rexcarebear4701]

Very smart especially since I saw a CSI episode where they were collecting evidence from a laundromat and the amount of crap they found in the dryers was frightening everything from dog hair to feces

[@tinaingram885]

Even though you do it to save ... isn't it also such a sense of fulfillment ? I think us humans have moved beyond our purposes.. we are not to be slave to a system ..we are to be one with the earth .and live up to our abilities building or homesteading is our purposes.

[@quietmadness1768]

I wouldn’t be without my clothesline. If people realized their biggest costs in a home were the water heater, stove, and DRYER-they might not have so much to complain about, now that energy costs are soaring. Also, clothes lines in the cold/freezing temps disinfect with temperatures killing any germs, and the sun does the same thing! All about recanning too. Can I adopt a brother-in-law? Haha! Stay warm friends, ~~QM ❤

I'd like to can a whole bunch of caramelized onions 🌰 (love and adore them) and preserve some of the leftovers from the food pantry where I volunteer that go to the compost bin when we don't have a driver to deliver for a third offering. I need a canning book of my very own.

I love love the smell of line dried laundry. Everyone can't do that because of time constraints, but I'm happy to do it even when my clothes are frozen stiff 😄. I'm going to do that, shop for bulk items and re-can. Plus, I can use the big cans for pink geraniums on the porch come summer. I appreciate the primer, Tessie, as always.

Hi Tessie. Here in New Zealand the majority of people have always used clothes lines. The cost of electricity is pretty expensive and dryers use a lot of electricity. On watching some other youtube channels they have said its illegal in some states to hang your clothes on a line. Shame that cos its a free resource. I guess the powers that be will always find some way around it though so we're paying more.

[@joegilbody4878]

I'm in a mobile home 55+ community. We can't have clothes lined but I put 2 large wooden dryers on the bporch. I do batches based on that drying space My mom had 8 boys and 2 girls and never had a dryer. We survived healthy and happy. Here in Florida wear mainly light clothes, tshirts, small ankle socks so most loads are small and dry fast.

[@marlysmithsonian5746]

Love these vlogs! My daughter went to the grocery (I believe Target) and found a container of ketchup. When she got to the register, it rang up 7.99!! She found chips for 4.49 each. They were on sale for 2 for 10!! That was Target, she sent me the picture. And I have not owned a dryer in over 7 years, I do not want one, I agree with you!

As a child, my mom would hang clothes on the line, after washing them with Tide. I remember having a hard time breathing for a few nights afterwards. Come to find out I had numerous high level allergies to pollen and cleaning products. I choose my battle's as there just isn't enough medicine for when my allergies go wonky. Hubby made me a huge drying rack for inside.

[@eileenlester4342]

Tried hanging the laundry out years ago and it didn't work out so well for me unfortunately. The pollen was getting on the clothing and really affecting my allergies. I remember back in the early sixties when my mom used to hang out the clothes to dry. Eventually she got a dryer and that was that. It sure was a lot of work, but they smelled so nice.

When I was a kid in Colorado we lived at the foot of a mountain. Got very cold there! We would put our clothes and sheets on the line to dry. The sheets would come back stiff as a board and we would take them inside to thaw in front of our only source of heat. A small gas stove!

Hi Tessie. I am slowly going through and watching all your videos from newest to oldest… and enjoy them all. Due to some recent health and life challenges, we are changing to a more frugal life. Your videos are inspiring and always make me smile. I’d like to ask a question about canning…. I came across a great deal on the boxed chicken broth. I’m thinking they would last longer if I were to can them in glass jars. Is this something that would work?

Question: I though the water had to cover the jars in water bath canning…say for jelly and jam. Would this also be true for tomato based sauces? I thought the USDA recommends pressure canning for these, but I am fairly new to canning so perhaps I missed something.😢

If the grid ever went down the most exciting thing to me would be being able to hang my laundry outside again and everyone else would be too and it creates a sense of friendship and talking with each other about how things are going while doing the task of hanging up clothes to dry 😍. Would love that aspect of no electricity or water - love how there's a good side to every situation.💕 And not only would it save energy but would also create a reason to go outside and be doing something while building friendships with people around you too as well as your online ones..it's another kind of "online" friendship 😁 where instead of airing your dirty laundry you're hanging up your clean laundry hehe 😂😂😂

Hello Tessie! Happy New Year to you and your family! ❤ I love laundry dried outside! All my childhood my mother used to dry the laundry same way. I remember crawling into bed after our baths at nite and just smelling the freshness of our sheets. Even later in life when my parents got a dryer, we always still used the clothesline. That is one of my favorite memories growing up. ❤️

[@CB-pf7go]

I don’t generate much laundry, about 2 or 3 small loads a week and although I don’t have a clothesline I hang things on my drying rack. I occasionally will use the dryer for blankets during the winter or maybe partially dry them and hang them on my stair railing on the second floor.❤️

[@suzannehetmer2394]

I decided to not use my clothes dryer except for towels. I hang things on a heavy duty shower rod in the extra bathroom and put a small fan below them, aimed up. They dry without wrinkles and I do this overnight. The moisture from drying helps humidify the air when it’s cold outside and I don’t need to run a humidifier!

I don't have a clothesline anymore but I do like to hang small loads at a time over the deck railing. For the winter: I found a closet rod that I pulled through plumbing pipes in the basement and hang the clothes on clothes hangers. It works great since the basement is warm and dry in the winter.

[@cindymetroff810]

Hi Tessie! Can you explain how you made your clothesline? I would love to have one like that!

[@midwestern925]

I always hang my laundry out regardless of the temperatures.

[@jodieh4739]

I grew up with a home that had a dryer but we never used it. In the summer it went on the line (or on a rare cold but dry day since it was in the PNW), and in the winter it was a rack by the wood stove. I still hang a lot, but not everything. There are a lot of things I prefer hanging but some I do like to dry. And sometimes convenience just wins. But if energy goes up a lot, it will be an easy transition since it's very familiar for me.

There is no need to worry about canning tomato sauce or ketchup, it is still under the 4ph level. So warm water canning is good enough, there is no need for pressure canning. In Europe it is considered as safe. BTW I'm working at the email for the things I planned to do off-grid.. it is almost finished :) It is quite a long one :)

[@HomesteadTessie]

I really been getting used to using our solar units I really need to work on water off grid That's really important this summer I'm i'm trying to think of less expensive things to do because money's going to be tight this summer for us I would like to see if I can find a way to dehydrate fruit without my electric dehydrator but I could use the power of the sun to dehydrate it in a way though that won't get bugs around it

[@xXTheoLinuxXx]

@@HomesteadTessie I might have an answer to that. I've send you an email about my plans and one of the things I mentioned is solar heating. I f you build a box with a thing like desertsun02 made, it would collect the sun and transpot the heat to the box part (and put a few holes in it for the moisture( it seems to me a solution and it only costs you 4 watts of power (due the fan). .
