Off Grid Life | The pigs are LOOOSE

[@Talasbuan]

Hey! How are you all? It feels so exiting to have made a new vlog and to publish it for you :) We're about one vlog behind in the real time since there has been so much to do here now. Hopefully we will catch up soon.

[@asiam7436]

Life comes first. :)

You don't look like someone who can get exited about anything dude

No worries! Grateful to hear from you guys. No matter how long it takes. It's enough seeing your posts on instagram. Congrats on your internship. Keep it up sir and ma'am.

My guess is that this law was made in order to help the health department cope with a salmonella outbreak from unpasteurized milk, if one occurred due to unpasteurized products sold in a particular area. A cut off of 70 milliliters is better than 170 milliliters of unpasteurized milk, as fewer people will get ill if an outbreak occurs. On the other hand, it could just be more crazy politicians making an arbitrary law due to money greasing their palms from the pasteurized milk lobbyists.

[@Aethuviel]

@@shawnaweesner3759 It was 70 liters, not ml. 🙃 I am Swedish and tried raw milk in Georgia (Tbilisi) this year, they were shocked when I told them it's almost illegal here. They live in the middle of the capital and get it from a farmer outside the city.

[@veefriend4201]

It's lovely the way you gentle your animals, even though they are raised for meat. Respectful.

[@veveguillmt5025]

yes indeed i don't know how they cop with killing them! but respect! i guess i would be quite vegetarian which i am most of the time 🤗

[@Aethuviel]

That's how it should be done. It really saddens me when people give their meat animals poor treatment or say they shouldn't be treated well because "they're food anyway, not pets". Not something that I see often among homesteaders though. :)

[@11poufran]

When the first settlers were awarded lands in the mountains in Canada about 200yrs ago they were faced with a similar problem that you have with the tree stumps and roots in the ground after clearing space to start building and planting crops, they would use horses to pull the biggest stumps out and would work themselves on the smaller ones buy cutting through it with axes and prying them out of the ground. They would then burn all that wet wood directly on the field in big piles, mostly wet wood so it was extremely smokey. They would collect the ashes and make Potash by slowly combining them in water then would boil it down to get lye water. It makes an EXCELLENT fertilizer and can also be used to make soap when added to tallow (boiled down and skimmed lard). Caution is primordial with lye water as it is a caustic solution in concentrated form. Love to see the progress you have made Much love from Québec, Canada

[@Talasbuan]

We definitely have to get a horse someday soon! I have been thinking on doing our own soap, that would be cool, we tried it at school so we have done it once a long time ago :) Exciting with ones own skin products, i make my own beeswax salves and tallow balms at least :)

[@annetorr7609]

I absolutely envy you living like you do. It looks soooo peaceful without crime. I’m totally hooked on every single video of yours. You have SUCH a unconditional love for ALL your animals. And then ….. but that’s survival, and why you’re doing what you do. You folk are absolutely AMAZING

Omg the kitty in the window. It’s funny the cut right before you talked about your cameras I was wondering “how many cameras do they have?” So cool these projects, and a sweet lamb. I love everything!!!!

[@1minigrem]

It’s great to see the way you raise your animals, real respect and affection. Your way of slaughtering is so much more humane than the normal method. The animals are in familiar surroundings and are not stressed by excessive transportation and brutal handling. I wish there were more people like you.

if you have a persistent or large stump bore a hile with a bar 6" deep and place a fer kernals of corn do this multiple times and hogs will do the heavy work. I have rooted several big big stumps with this method very effective

[@newlifeme1]

not sure what you do with the trimmed wool but it is useful for making lip balm and quilts. Traditionally the wool was cleaned and the lanolin was simmered out. The lanolin is the natural chemical in the wool that keeps the sheep protected from rain and snow. lanoline was mixed with bees wax to make lip balms, hand creams, and water sealer for boots. The clean wool was used as filler for winter blankets. The wool was ether laid in an even layer between two layers of cloth and stitched or stuffed into channels stitched in two pieces of cloth like a duvet.

[@007shinette]

Its so lovely watching you guys with your beautiful animals and to hear you talking about butchering in such a respectful way ! It's never an easy task when dispatching animals so its really wonderful to hear how you've gone to great lengths to learn how to do it with great care, kindness and love. We will only ever dispatch a chicken if its desperately sick and can't be treated with antibiotics or likewise, or if a rooster has turned dangerous towards people (we have young children) as they can do sometimes. My partner is always the one to do it because he has been taught properly by a vet and he will always do it well away from any other animal and humans which is always a very important point to think about when doing this procedure. Your films are thoroughly enjoyable and i've found myself getting rather addicted to them because they are truly inspiring to watch ! You've raised some very important points and made everything 'off grid' look interesting. We all need to change the way we approach life so that our children, their children and so on can continue to enjoy and thrive in our beautiful world. We need more films such as yours to teach, educate and interest future generations. I've also loved your website and reading about your vision which i've shared with some of my friends. 👏👏👏👏👏😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

Nice vlog! Your camera is so loving to the animals and the countryside. The beauty shines through. On a practical note, I find that if I do a little bit of food prep while making breakfast and lunch, it makes it easier to get dinner on the table at a more dinner-ish hour. Take care!

Rabbit? Lean ears only have protein hardly any fat. Regardless their type. For cooking rabbits use the beer your holding! ;-) My father used to marinate rabbit in 3-4 cans of beer overnight. Alcohol will evaporate later. But still you will have no dinner the night the rabbits are getting drunk. It needs a lot of fat/butter. Bake it, than into the oven. I would prefer these clean healthy untoxicated livers, ... yes please!

[@toddwilliams8820]

I just finished this episode. I am a late comer to your channel. I really love what you two have done with you property and really respect the lifestyle the two of you have chosen. My wife and I have become completely addicted to your videos. In reference to the Burch stump in your pig pin, instead of having to collect a bunch of equipment to pull it, why don’t you try burning it out? If you do it properly it will smolder completely out in a few days. I know a lot of land owners here in the States when they do it, they use kerosene. I’m not sure if there is a cleaner, more environmentally safe accelerant to use, but I’m sure you could find something. Just a thought for you guys.

As always love your vlog. As far as the stumps and roots go, auger larger deep hole into them and then pour in a strong mixture of Epsom salt and water, let soak in, then pack with Epsom salt and let set all winter, in Spring the rotting process should help in their removal, we did this with several old, neglected apple trees we had to remove due to rotten hearts. I like rabbit fried as you did and then add a mushroom gravy with lots of onion and garlic, then simmered in the oven, serve with toasted bread or rolls and saute' carrots with rosemary and lemon juice. Ummm, Ummm good.

[@Talasbuan]

Thank you for the tip, i will tell Mathias about it, how will the ground be affected of the salt? I was thinking bc we will have our kitchen garden there :) The food sounds delicious, maybe will do it like that the next time! :D Thank you so much for writing! have a lovely evening, /Tova

I'm a little confused as to why the skim milk you don't drink. In the USA we buy all different kinds of milk with full to no fat. All I drink is skim or 1 percent fat milk. Now i realize things are MUCH different in each country especially here with the regulations on food. Is the milk with no fat just not tasty? Or can you really just not drink it? I would love to see what it tastes like unpasteurized! 😋 Wish you could ship it to Louisiana! Still enjoying every bit of the vlogs! I watch 1 or 2 each day and will do so until I am caught up to current! The music in all of the videos are so peaceful! ❤️

14:20 Here we witness a true man, opening a beer bottle with an axe. 😄 Edit: those yellow mushrooms are called chantarelle in English (almost the same as in Swedish), and they are in my opinion indeed one of the best! I'm not from Sweden, but have been there on vacation two times and have been happily surprised to find a lot of these delicious mushrooms!

[@yyedidia]

Hello from Sunny Seattle, Washington ;) I'm very happy I found your Vlogs, thank you so much for creating them. I do want to point out something I noticed in the house build. There was one beam that landed on the window. I'm not a builder but as far as I know you have to terminate a horizontal beam (specially one that will carry a load) on a vertical beam or at least a wall that will carry the load all the way down. Even tough there was one beam below it (top of window) I still think it would be wise to support it. Good luck with everything and keep posting Vlogs!

[@Talasbuan]

I am not sure which beam and which window you mean. But yes theres a few things not as it should be with this house:) But non of them is a problem from a strength point of view from what I can tell. There is a problem with having standing beams in a horizontal log structure. The house needs to be able to move, and tree shrinks a lot les longitudinal than tangential. So every time you put something standing in a traditional log house you need to be aware of that or you'll get a very leaky house /Mathias

[@yyedidia]

Talasbuan I can send picture but in first few vlogs it shows. when you stand inside near a window and look up and you see a beam sitting on window opening top that’s the one ;) if no floor will be on that then it will probably not be a problem. If you put floor on that you might want to move it not to end on window opening.

[@annasluka6708]

We like rabbit and dumplings. Beautiful life you both have.

[@annasluka6708]

Also, you can make pulled pork in a slow oven and it turns out great by this American's standard. I have a plumb sauce I made a while back that I use to cook a pork roast all day and it comes out wonderfully! Use any fruity & acidic sauce to help the meat break down, and it's very easy. You could make a sauce with blueberries, vinegar and sugar...a blueberry chutney. I keep many jars of the fruit sauces/chutney in the pantry.

[@Talasbuan]

Sounds delicious!

Lovely to see another video! How much wool do you leave on the sheep so that they will be warm in the winter?

[@Talasbuan]

Thank you! Well it depends a little on when we do it, now it was so late in the season that we left a little bit more than usual, if we do it earlier (or if its warmer outside) we can take away more. But im guessing we left about 4-5 cm or something this time. We read somewhere that the sheep can keep the warmth better in the winter if they have shorter wool than the very long one. Im not sure about its accuracy though, have to see if i can find the text somewhere! All the best! /Tova

How do you get internet and charge your phone, camera, and laptop?

You will find the more meat cutting you do the more you will notice that all the animals bone structure are the same.

Why don't you save the wool?

[@Talasbuan]

We save the wool from neck, back and sides!

[@nancywagoner8330]

@@Talasbuan Do you sell the wool ? Curious..My sister uses a spinning wheel to spin wool,then makes wool shawls and other clothing. Love all your videos! I look forward to each one!

[@Talasbuan]

No, we keep it for ourselves. Unfortunate we haven't had the time yet to do much with it. But the dream is to do like your sister, awesome! Thank you so much Nancy, means a lot to us!

[@bowiekt]

I fell like you gain more from the love of your animals,than killing it…maybe buy your meat else where? And sell your animals? But if you are truly poor.. we have ducks,dogs a horse and rabbits, not going to eat aNY OF THEM ANY TIME SOON❤️geez, anyway,so respect what you are doing, these are your old vlogs, not likely you will see my comments, my three children are your age, gives me great aspirations to encourage them to live “OFF GRID”❤️

[@Talasbuan]

Nah, we would much, much, MUCH rather eat meat from our own animals. We've got no problem with death here. It is a part of life. Why would we go through the hassel of selling our animals elswere? Then they have to be live transported to some aproved slaughterhouse, then to some butchery, then to packery and so on and it would only cost us a lot of money. It is much better to come to an understanding that in order for someone to live, someone else has to die. Death is inseparable from life. Hope my thoughts here is giving you something to think about? ☺️ Soon you'll start harvesting your own meat!

if you want to stop the pigs from punching the fence when they are small, put a copper wire in their nose like an ox and they won't dig anymore
