Never apologize for kids! They’re your little people. Be proud you have great kids!

[@andrewrobinson2869]

Every kid should know and see where the meat they eat comes from. Living in the city we had friends on a farm and I was about 10 yo when I first saw 3 sheep’s necks cut then about a week later ate some , some kids unfortunately think it comes if plastic and are so protected from real life it’s like they live in a bubble unfortunately, so great to see you bringing your kids up the way kids should be, looks like really nice meat, I have never tried camel, I love kangaroo. Love the videos too,

[@buildmotosykletist1987]

I've had Roo three times. The first was a Roo burger (basically a steak sandwitch using a bun) and it was GREAT. The other two were restaurant meals and very disappointing. They were both VERY gamey, had that wild deer taste to them. So I'm not so sure about Roo. Also the restaurants over charge on the Roo. I'm told young camel is less gamey and tastes very good. I'd like to try it.

[@terrybagatella3898]

Thank you for letting us into your home. You're living the best life, the way it was meant to be lived. Harvesting your own food and passing the same knowledge onto your children. If they were cooking camel sausages at my local bunnings I would 100% have a crack.!! ❤️❤️

[@TankIOW]

Just watched this video, and I absolutely agree with what you and your wife say. The kids, when living with life and death situations, must learn about it and not be sheltered from it all. From Veg in the garden to shooting camels. I lived on a farm for a few year's when growing up on the Isle of Wight (UK) and was introduced to the ways of life and death and how my food ended up on my plate. It gave me a healthy respect and understanding of where my daily food came from. I love your channel and really appreciate all the hard work you guys put into producing each video. Thank you.

[@copdad44]

I just found your channel. Don't ever worry about quieting the kids. Mine have helped grind venison since they could walk. And those of us who's kids are grown love seeing young ones raised right!

[@CASHCRZZY1]

Never apologize for what your kids do. Kids are fantastic they’re learning and that’s the way they are.

[@victorh7675]

I was super happy to see you arent just throwing away all tjat delivious camel meat. Hats off to you sir!

[@johnsebar7807]

you are at home, kids are there. It is great to hear their background chatter. It makes your video real like anyone with kids can understand.

[@robsin2810]

Love the kids, and how they are being brought up. Well done.🇦🇺👍🙏

[@rayhilton1759]

Great video, don't stop what you're doing. People NEED to understand you're just profiling your lifestyle with what you have to deal with. I grow up on a dairy farm in NZ so i've seen most things, death but seeing spring calves/lambs joy at a lush green paddock for the first time, something i'll never forgot.

[@prokaneygaming6590]

Never silence ya kids for anyone they awesome girls you great parents

[@ruthkirkparick3535]

Mom was born on a cattle ranch in remote southeast Alberta, Canada in 1929. She raised her three kids in the same way but we were born and raised in small towns and, eventually, cities. My kids were born and raised in a city but with the help of my Mom, they were raised in the same way. It was very important to me that they understand where their food comes from (also where their waste goes) so they would understand how important agriculture and land management are.

[@davenett4907]

Yes, I think Camel is the best meet I have ever had. I lived on Camel for two months Lunch and Dinner in the middle of Australia. So lean and if I wasn't told I would have said it was the best Cow ever, but it was Camel. Wow 🙏

[@SollysOnTheRoad]

Awesome video guys, our kids grew up seeing where their meat came from , should be more of it. We have eaten Camel meat and its very good meat and yes there should be a Camel section in supermarkets. The feral camels should be harvested for human consumption every day of the week what a great resource going to waste . Thanks for putting this out there for the general population to see how a great resource can be harvested. 👍👍👍

[@crunchymamafarmskelly1357]

Was speaking with some Muslim guys in Dearborn, Michigan and they said that the camel hump fat is going for $80 US a pound. We looked into buying a camel for our butchery classes and they were over $10,000 each! Such a resource you have! Wish the demand was there for you.

[@UpcomingJedi]

Those people just want to gouge out as much money as possible.

[@paulwright9106]

Jack , you have my vote from the UK . Very interesting .

[@Rundu1987]

I only discovered your channel last few days and as a South African meat hunter, I was immediately thinking Biltong! and dry sausage. Have you tried biltong. It will last so much longer.

[@Splawnridgerunner]

Totally awesome. I love your life style. Two beautiful children learning about life.

[@Iceberg050]

No need to apologize for the kids. My wife and I are 73 and don’t have kids around very often so when in the store or restaurant kids don’t bother us at all! We enjoy our grandkids immensely and they’re fired up at all times!

[@zachs8765]

enjoyed hearing the kids watching the overture of Prince of Egypt. Great film.

[@granthatcher-yp2wp]

Had a chat with your Dad today in Darwin Jack , what a nice fella he is 😁👍

[@paulsharpe3794]

Hi there I live in the UK in the outer edge of a large city and I have a lovely view of the countryside at the end of the road. Some of the younger people 30 - have no idea how enithing arrives at the supermarket .so I think that you're kids are growing up with a well balanced education. Keep up the good work

[@duncanm6589]

Hi Jasmine and Jack, it was great watching the live session the other day and then this one today.

[@johnevans6474]

Reminds me of my childhood on the Farm, 60 + years ago.

[@user-sd7vt7yy7x]

I was raised on a farm in west virginia and I saw all animals we slaughtered and used for food I think you are right to not shelter the children and to give them a well rounded understanding and a good education for later life, you have two lovely daughters watching and learning are those your only children? have a wonderful holiday and a better year in 2024

[@tylerfalcon2162]

I’m in the US and we have a burger joint that frequently has camel burgers and they are great

[@TheFunkmon]

Have you tried smoking or making Jerky? The meat looks great, how does it compare in flavor to beef/chicken? Teriyaki camel jerky sounds mmmmmm. Y’all are great parents never apologize for having/including your children in your videos. ❤

[@paullawlor8097]

Over covid and working from home joining conference calls it's been great seeing my team and their families. Kids and pets joining the calls - got closer to the team as a result.

[@m8s4lif]

Love to hear and see your beautiful kids. I notice that the one daughter gave a thumbs up for camel sausage. I think that you are doing a mighty good job raising them. Good luck from Medford, Oregon, USA.

[@oldschool9932]

Fascinating ... thank you for sharing. Each time I watch Jack wrestle with that rifle I think to myself .... KAC M-110 SASS would be a useful tool for this endeavor. Greatly appreciate your time and efforts.

[@geoffreed6219]

Totally agree with your usage and life lessons for the kids. I’ve eaten camel steak in Egypt. I’m coming to Australia from uk in September and if I see camel in any format on a menu or in shops in the areas I’m travelling through I’ll definitely be having some 👍👍

[@shaunkeating9989]

Definitely would eat camel sausages. Tried camel meat in Kalgoorlie 25 years ago, and it tasted just fine.

[@lukecawley5276]

Camel jerky is delicious

[@tritonjackmam5.681]

[@salmonhunter7414]

I think is great that your kids are there.

[@bigguy5155]

I'm from a little country town in West Virginia, USA I involved my kids with where food comes from and now it's the grandkids, I would like to try camel but won't find any around here. I love to see videos where the kids are around, little noise but that's family or a little wind or rain that's nature can't get around that stuff.

[@johnnymack9600]

Would love to try camel sausage and steaks. It looks wonderfull.

[@makinmagicgal]

City kids are too soft. Awesome episode! ❤ I tried a Camel pie once, it was good. Most butchers don't stock the meat though. 😒 Where do you get your bulk food supplies too? Maybe you can do a episode of a bulk grocery run

[@doraexplora9046]

I grew up in a huge mixture of places. including the city AND the bush. IU associated with Aboriginals and dealt with snakes on a fairly regular basis. But I agree. My nieces and nephews are soft little girls who should be wearing an old woman's blouse, in comparison to me swinging a cane knife at 11yo! My rels are in their 20's and act like 10yo's. Pure city life is definitely not good for a person.

[@michealsummers714]

I can imagine Jack out the Back on-line camel sausages selling well.. You just maybe have to ship out the meat in a chilled truck prior to processing so it’s closer to distribution infrastructure. If each of your current subscribers purchased six sausages today, that’s a lot of sausage!

[@Bennie32831]

He's got a airplain

[@jack_out_the_back]

It would be great!! Maybe if we did dried sausages it could make it ☺️

[@grancitodos7318]

@@jack_out_the_backPut sodium nitrite in the mix, about 0.02%. If you have large diameter sausage skins, best, hang them in the fridge for one to two weeks, until they lose 30% weight. I made pork and beef mix, in pig intestine, it is a bit dried out, but is salami, you need 30% fat, pig back fat is what is used.

[@johnjordan4647]

Yes camel should definitely be on the menu along with emu , kangaroo, wallaby and crocodile 👍

[@therickpound]

Just found the channel, v interesting, not had camel sausage but have had various camel parts cooked numerous ways in the middle east, don't have em in the UK, so I mainly deal with deer, pigs, small game and birds. I do however have a similar attitude to utilizing the harvest as best as possible. Great to see all aspects of station life, been in Oz a number of times, loved the top end, spent a while up near Jabiru & Mt Borrodale getting rid of pigs with some shooters couldn't get over the scale of the damage they did tbh. A right hassle getting the gun in & the license, it was made easier with a few resident recommendations & indigenous permissions, I'm told its got worse not better & any good work we did has been eradicated by the fact they have restricted more shooters, politics aside, Keep the vids coming, all topics are welcome, ignore the haters, stay safe, cheers from Blighty.

[@joshualee415]

Never apologize for kids having fun and being curious mad respect. Since I was a wee tot I’ve always hunted and helped my parents and grands field dress our meat

[@tritonjackmam5.681]

ha i’m a butcher in Perth WA give me right amt to come out and give ya run down on butchering 😂 if ya get some pork fat and mix in that will keep them moist as that meat is lean bloody light in colour to veal, to keep ur mincer blades sharp rubbing on a flat stone the plate and the knife every time you use it, grab a large meat tub for ur mixing will make life easier and mix ur seasoning fry adding the water as cold as possible 👍 and don’t over fill ya casings, you can get a mix from Master butchers in perth for jerky all ready to go simply in a dehydrator, and some books on smoking and small goods will help ya. mate your gonna hav a ball 😂 bloody enviously ov ya bud

[@Shoots-A-Stick79]

Any free-range protein is a meal for me. A lot of folks won't try something just because of its name. Dont knock it unless you've tried it! How are the rocky mountain oysters (nuts)?

[@robertwhitfield8462]

Good to see the kids involved 🎉

[@SeanHendy]

Absolutely true, bangers, because the sausages used to pop open when cooking as the ingredients were different due to rationing.

[@jeffryrichardson9105]

I need to swing by next time I am in AU to give the sausages a try ;-)

[@geoffb108]

You have delightful children who are living a wonderful life and learning so much more about life than most kids. If we all ate feral animals it would go a long way to improving the balance of nature. Also no growth hormones or antibiotic in your tucker. Well done

[@vaughanellis7866]

Your kids are learning about food and life in the most natural way there is, those who complain about how you are bringing up your kids are those touchie-feelie types who are totally divorced from where their food comes from. And I can confirm the 'Banger' tale the meat content in them during WW2 was bulked out with stale bread that the bakers had not sold, the Bread was cut up roughly minced then mixed in with the meat the way rusk is today.

[@kelseywigg7908]

Man I so wanna try a camel sausage now!!

[@tightlinesuk752]

WOULD LOVE TO TRY THIS WISH WE HAD THIS IN THE UK awsome

I would be interested to try the sausages. From the Isle of Skye Scotland.

[@margiweir1556]

Awesome upbringing for kids! Good on you!

[@SteveMcInerney]

Excellent Video, fascinating! re the Kids, my 2c, they're just as much a part of your videos as everything else. There was one of your earlier videos where they were walking with Ant, it was pure delight to see! Significant chunk of the team at work are remote, so we frequently will hear children and other household noises in the background. Breaks up the mental load of the technical issues we're talking about - it's a very positive thing!

[@terryzig]

I would love to eat some of that sausage. As for now being in Washington State in the US most likely wont be soon. If I ever travel down under I will defiantly be looking to try some.

[@garymarkham4167]

Good on you Jack.....Respect your knowledge......Yes would buy camel snags.

[@glennbrown1961]

Coming to a Bunnings near you.......soon? They would be better than some of the mystery meat sold in shops across the country. I have found the meat to be dry if no fat is added. Same as kangaroo, in my opinion it needs added fat to make a good snag! All kids should spend time on a farm so as to find out where their food comes from. We were bought up on a farm in the 60s and were also by the sea. Fishing and shooting game was just part of life. Was trusted with a firearm at 10 years old. That was back when kids were taught respect and self control and responsibility. If you were caught pointing a gun, even a toy at something other than what you were going to shoot god help you cos you wouldn't have been sitting for a while! Love the videos guys! G'day from Tasmania.

[@squishyhippie4059]

I'd love to try your sausage!

[@lukecawley5276]

Hey mate I’m a butcher by trade and can tell you how to stop your snags from splitting. Just watched your video on the ramyun and you mentioned you’d like to know why they split. It’s because they were fresh. If you had have refrigerated them overnight that will never happen. Our butcher shop produces 500-700kg of plain bbq snags a week. We never sell them until the day after we fill them as they need to set and the skin needs to absorb the moisture into the collagen skin cases. Hope that helps. If you even need any tips mate yell out.

[@jack_out_the_back]

Thanks Luke! Glad you reached out on the Facebook page as well! Cheers

[@Danger3512]

The comment on the bangers is true, however, I was told that they were using water with the bread crumbs, water then turned to steam increasing the pressure and popping the sausage skins, where oil would not do this !

[@arffadailey8055]

Those snags looked great. Hope they eat well.

[@jack_out_the_back]

I've got to add a bit more fat to them next time! But they taste great!

[@michaelatkin9649]

I've had camel burger. It's like turkey/elk burger if I remember right. It's not bad. I'd eat it

[@nigeljohnson8995]

I would love to try camel meat, please export to the UK. Many thanks, great vlog.

[@doraexplora9046]

A few years ago I was working in Azerbaijan where it gets really cold and I wanted a 'doona'. Well I got taken to the local market where I asked for a 'lambs wool doona'. They had NO IDEA of what I was talking about. They didn't have them. So I just asked for the BEST doona. They came out with this absolutely beautiful French-made doona....and what was it made from? Camel hair! That thing is waaay better than lambs wool and a lot lighter. It heats up to a nice 21DegC and lets the rest of the heat out. You guys should consider Camel hair doona's and make even better use of those animals!

[@juanferrari4249]

You guys are doing a wonderful job educating your kids as where food comes from, there's always going to be haters keyboard warriors out there which you shouldn't be worrying about, keep up the good work 👍, those snags looked yummy 😋😋.

I live in Northern California and would love to try these and help with importing them😊

[@clintonthomas1527]

Great work, love watching your content

I just love watching your lives on station country, and being a sausage man I will try some camel snags if I come across some. I know I can buy it at a place on the main highway just north of Port Pirie SA.

[@tonymoscardino3208]

Hell yeah Jack I do all the same with elk,deer,antelope all the game birds and waterfowl.there were years where i harvested too many cottontail rabbits that ive made breakfast sausage out of them and it was awesome.you have me looking for camel meat here in the states to try specifically Denver Colorado.doesnt look like there is any to be found but those backstraps look like elk maybe more fat on them.i dont even know if we can buy camels here.looking in to might turn into something really good.thanks for the video

[@jack_out_the_back]

Thanks Tony! I need to get better at sausage making!! Maybe we could export some your way 🤣 apparently the camels actually originated to your North many, many years ago!

[@gregeconomeier1476]

Your children are adorable. There is no need to apologize for your children when they are acting like children.

[@veridian79]

Jack, just some advice if you don't mind, from an old butcher/boner/meatworker. The larger wide blade knife is a skinning knife, not for de=boning mate. the thiner curved blade is used for boning. I have seen some serious accidents where people have used the wide blade for boning. It looks like your knives could use a sharpening. Your mincer plates are not cutting efficiently as well, the plated need grinding from time to time. MBL in Perth Master Butchers Limited" do a sharpening service. If there is free play between the mincer plate and the blades just drop a small coin/washer in the back of the auger where it locks into the machine, it will take up any slack, Even though you do a pretty good job, I wished I could show you how it's done , even linking sausages. Hope you don't take the advice as too critical. Anyway, I'm enjoying your show. you're a good bloke.

For the sausage, id have used a little beef tallow to improve flavor too.

[@brandonbrewer21]

Agree with the kids... And I'd definitely try Camel. Those backstaps look amazing 🤤 have you tried making Camel jerky... Or have i just not seen the video yet? Just found your channel today 😁

Yeah we have, and it never lasts long!

[@andyjordan7542]

No worries eating camel meat Jack I live in Forrestfield. Have a talk with Darren at Williams meat the butcher in the shopping centre. I love wild meat but am to old (73) to hunt anymore would love to be able to get it in a local store.

[@marosslovak7308]

here in Victoria Coles used to sell camel burgers I had them quite a few times, really nice meat but I have not seen it for the last 3 months, not sure why they stopped, even venison is pretty rare these days

[@Rec_hunt_fish]

i would most certainly try camel meat , but have no where to find it local here in Melbourne

[@tryscience]

when you power the scale on with the bucket hanging, and the scale starts at 0.0, there is no need to subtract the weight of the bucket. if you power the scale on and it reads 0.0 without the bucket, then yes, you would need to subtract the weight of the bucket. I imagine you could have a great dog food business using extra camel meat.

Did you keep their toes?

[@gordonagent7037]

Jack, what the heck does the camel back-strap meat taste like, watching this video the meat looks nice, cuts easy and those snags looked beautiful. I’ve got it on my list next time I go to the shop but just looking for a heads up. What % would camel meat make up in your normal diet? As compared to say beef. Do you run any sheep for their meat?

[@jack_out_the_back]

Beef! 🥩

[@dougpope5627]

Chill your meat prior to grinding really helps.

[@darylwithers3713]

HEY guys been watching a few of your clips i agree with what you are saying about kids knowing whats going on .IAM just a bush butcher have made heaps of snags i remember the first ones myself and a mate did i you seen that show you would reckon a bloke was mad to ever do another we had 3 sheep in first go it took all bloody day. Have since done heaps sheep pigs cattle the gear has been upgraded over time and have got better mainly trial and error. I hope i csn give you a bit of addvice without being a smart alec first my maths would of been 26 kgs close enough is good enough with meal there is plenty of flavour using small bag of meal it says 9 kgs of meat i have used up to 14 kgs of meat so you cn see what i mean . When putting meat through mincer long strips are the go i mince twice use cause plate then finer more you push meat the slower it is i mince then at meal in a big tub my bright idea of buying a mixing attachment for drill was a god sent in winter with cold water . First and only time i used gut casings was our very first show now use synthetic quicker and less mess. FIRST sasage machine was bandsaw attachment then went to a old cast iron relic water presure great but heavey still have it then what you are using ony it is 10 kg one then bought a motorised one was great but kept breakin the cog mecanism t now bought another water presure one holds 10 kgs but is all stainless and ways about 20 kgs so far great kleen and quick . Hopefully i havent boored you to much anything i can help with dont be afraid to ask.Best meal for sheep snags bacon cheese and tomato all one flavor cattle beef made a steaket attachment pretty easy best cattle mango and sweet chilli not hot just good thats same deal its sasage meal.

[@John-kl3ue]

Have the donkeys got out that far yet mate ? Beautiful eating..if you can hold of some .When we were camped on Wongawol creek we got badly bogged in ..we had 5 horses in the chiller .lived on it for a week ,barbecued daily was very nice

[@jack_out_the_back]

There aren't many, if any horses left here, and we knocked most of the donkeys out. We had a strange resurgence of them last year that we couldn't track.
