Lastly, I could write a book on the mistakes I've witnessed in the field of medicine; doctors and nurses are fallible, and sadly, a good number of them shouldn't be in healthcare.

[@barbarahouk1983]

I am a retired psychiatrist (MD). I taught my patients they were responsible for themselves and ALL their doctors were consultants. So the massage was to learn as much as possible from their doctors then start asking their pharmacist. They themselves needed to decide cost, risk benefits, not let the doctors. I still think the AMA is DAFT. I do hold a MD but that does not mean I support the GOVERNMENT BUREAU American Medical Association. The AMA was created in 1847 because som whiny azz MDs complained to the government apprentice doctors "didn't have enough book learning " but what they meant was we are jealous the apprentice doctors make money before we do. Now Congress runs United States Medical establishment through the ABC agencies & insurance control. They actually forced doctors into killing people in 2020 with Remdizavir (benefiting Dr F).

In one of your very old pantry chats, you and Josh encouraged those that want “the lifestyle” to take the time before the land and the animals are provided to build as many skills as possible to be readied for the land and lifestyle part. That was a HUGE confirmation of what the Lord has been speaking to my heart lately. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing as I listened! I grew up on a family dairy farm and gardening, have gardened and preserved food (canning, freezing and dehydrating) my whole life, but there are ENDLESS more skills I need for the life I’m hoping God provides for myself and my family.

Lived on a farm and know it is far from easy. Your family is so blessed and bringing strangers into your life blesses all of us. Thank you for all that you do, it is truly appreciated.

[@donnahanson1691]

I'm 60, grew up on the farm, canned since I was 12, and living on a homestead now. I have still learned many things from you such as waterglassing eggs...

[@Crystal-id1wq]

This video brought tears to my eyes..so true about putting our trust in these experts! You have inspired me and taught me through MANY of your videos! I am grateful for what you do share! thank you!

[@mimiseeyou]

I admire you so much, and I’ve wondered about your story. Thank you for opening up. I’m also very private, so it means a lot to hear from you. Thank you for your teachings!

[@yvonnehomer9535]

Love your video

[@elainek6167]

So heartfelt, sincere and encouraging. Thank you for sharing this. I’m in my 50s and have been homesteading for many years, yet I’ve learned so much from you in just the past year alone. The Lord is our Provision and our ever-present help. What you have there ... what we have here in Canada ... is all His anyway. No one can take any of it unless / until the Lord says so. Meanwhile we live in obedience to His call. I am praying for you and your family. Stay faithful, beautiful sister! 💖

[@hyrographics1731]

Amen! I second that. Josh and Carolyn and children are true stewards of our Father and our God💖 And to you as well Beautiful sister stay true🥲❤️

[@pistachio57]

Carolyn, Thank YOU for all the knowledge you share with us! It’s a blessing to watch your beautiful family grow on your lovely homestead. I wish all kids could grow up as yours are, with such great loving parents.

[@theclumsyprepper]

Yes. This world would be a much kinder and safer place if all kids grew up like that.

[@nicolemiller7941]

Who would have thought I would be emotional and tear up from watching this video but I know God allowed me to find you to start helping my family become more food secure. Thank you and I look forward to all that I learn from you!!

[@hyrographics1731]

I know exactly how you feel, I’m still crying as I read through comments, saying in my mind, this was God working, this is part of his answer to my constant question. I’m going to dive in, but at the same time I am feeling so overwhelmed with emotion and all the information to be learned and skills to be honed…God please help and protect your stewards and those leading by example💖

[@abigailg9188]

Since I was about nine years old, I’ve had a desire to live in a way that was resilient and less reliant upon chains that could easily break. I’ve lived a lot of life without chasing that dream. When the pandemic started, that dream really stirred in my heart and your channel has been a huge resource for me. Thank you for being true to the calling you’ve felt. You’ve impacted our family.

[@denisekrieg7617]

I am glad you do this. I have learned so much from you guys

[@deborahmcsweeney1650]

Sometimes you have to trust your guidance and know when you do you are watched over. Grateful for what you share! We have been homesteading for 16 years but still always something more to learn! It's the journey, not a destination. Thanks for sharing! Beautiful spot by the water there!

[@KarenSchindelJohnson]

I'm a mom to 9 unschooled children (only one left at home now) and when we decided to hit the road and travel Canada/USA/MX with the youngest 7, we had many ppl tell us we were being irresponsible & endangering our children. But we felt that it was what God wanted us to do. Those were some of the best (& challenging) years we ever had as a family & I know we touched many peoples' lives. Wow, are we ever glad we followed God's leading & timing. Now we're basically prisoners in our native Canada, unable to leave the country at all. Keep doing what you are led to do, Carolyn (& Josh) and the rewards will be great. And even if the zombies come for all your food, you know you've been faithful. None of us are 'getting out of here' alive!

[@susanlain6951]

I've had the same comment posed to me as well. But, I believe I'm here to help others get ready, get prepared. So, what I don't know, I'm learning. What I do know, I'm teaching. It's going to take little communities to heal the brokenness. ❤❤

[@angelasmith4286]

Bless you for sharing life as you know it, loved video other young people need this education on nutrition. Most live off hamburgers cokes due to laziness. Your happiness shows them they are not eating properly and working to be proud of the food they grow like your beautiful children.❤

[@Abi.RegularGirl]

Thank you so much Carolyn! You guys are an inspiration and a great guide in all things homesteading!

[@luluford8141]

Thank you for addressing this comment. I think that in some areas of the country it can be more dangerous than in others. I have given this a lot of thought also on how to safe guard my supplies and have to admit I am very private in this area because I have seen what despriate people have and can do. Sadly I we have to think in this way. That aside, I for one appreciate everything I have learned from you and being a fellow Idahoian appreciate hearing from someone who experiences the same issues and rescources I have. We have changed so much in how we eat, grow our garden, obtain our beef and now getting fresh eggs right out of my mini farm. Making friends with the farmers and ranchers have also been invaluable. Your lesson on not wasting so much food has given me a renewed perspective and waste now are bones my animals cant have. Thank you and please keep sharing and teaching.

[@kayjulz1820]

You guys have built such a positive community here on KZbin. I for one am grateful you share. I lived in a large crowded community with hardly any gardens and because of your influence I moved my family. We don’t have a lot of acreage but last summer we grew and canned enough food to last my family the year. It was hard yet fun. But most importantly it changed my family for the better.

[@germanprepper21]

God bless. It is definitely time to double down on food and water preps guys! Happy to offer help and advice if needed👍

My eldest son was also vaccine injured. High fever, seizures septic if sick. They said he was adhd and needed meds I told the two teachers they were lazy and I was very passive. He graduated high school 2 years early with 2 years of college done. Never doubt that you know best for your children.

[@pembebulut2781]

I have adhd as well, but I’m not using any medication. I’ve got Gaia Black elderberry capsules from Whole Foods to support my immune system. Interestingly that helped with my anxiety. It’s sold over the counter. It’s nothing but black elderberry extract. It’s worth trying

[@yelgator8]

I can't say that I haven't had the same thought as the person who made that comment. BUT I am SO GRATEFUL - you teach me so much since we are living in a very different world and so many of us need your help. You are a blessing to all. THANK YOU for sharing this part of your life & family. I envy your family. Truly amazing!!!

[@cathyweber4250]

I agree with this feeling!

[@sherryduncan7968]

We had vac injuries here also. 😭 I also had researched what was going on afterwards questioning the medical side of things. Getting back to natural ways of cooking and finding out food reactions. I must say it is a calling to help others. You are right! I thank God also for you and your family for obeying his calling in your life. I also have learned more by watching you. BTW.. I loved your milking video how you get it all done in a day. I always wondered how you do it! Blessings sister and keep the videos coming!

[@hyrographics1731]

Blessings to you too sister! And I am in agreement with everything you said😍 I’m discovering his vessels, I kept asking , I got an answer! I’m in tears🥲 I’m praying that the good day will come , and we get to hug each other! God bless you and yours!💖

[@TheCashmerePen]

I love the obedience you have to your calling and I'm so grateful for everything you and Josh share. I know it's seriously time consuming, risky and not easy, so Thank You for all that you do. I've been absorbing all of the information like a sponge and putting so much of it into action to build and hone my skills so I am self-sufficient and sustainable, and God willing I will find a property to purchase that I can manage on my own 🙏🌻🌱🕊 Sending blessings to you and your family 🙏

Thank you SO much! Best video ever! You and a few other homesteading channels helped me start my small farm/homestead...alone...late in life...with confidence!

[@noladyhere1429]

Thank you for sharing. I completely agree with you on taking charge of your own health and being intentional. This is why I follow you! I am 26 yrs old with my two babies and my amazing husband. We have the same mindset as you but didn't know where to look. You are one of our resources. God bless you guys and praise Jesus we can use these platforms in such a wonderful way.

[@TheCrossLegacy]

This is my whole heart feeling like I have a calling on my heart to train up the next generation and for God to use me as I help teach others.

[@dancnluc1]

Great video. That little lamb is so cute. Such a beautiful place. Love seeing the little ones in the garden and afterwards big sister pulling them in the wagon. You have such a beautiful family. Seeing the homemade ice cream sure brought old memories back. When I was a kid we would get together at our grandparents house. My grandma would make 2 flavors of ice cream and we loved helping with the cranking of it. I get why the person mention not showing your pantry - I have seen others being told the same thing. I have learned so much through your videos. Thank you for sharing.

[@Anne-iy9xm]

Wow... I'm so glad you shared this with us. I wanted to be a teacher but life took me another way. However, I did get to homeschool my children. Passion is what drives me and a love of learning. I believe that passion is what you have as well as a calling. Thank you for sharing!! What a beautiful story.

[@MikkiandAngel]

Love your channel 💕☀️ I survived seven deadly cancers in the last ten years. The biggest eye opener was the way I saw food. Food is a healing and healthy ya to grow in health but you mind set as well. I’ve gotten rid of my TV and it’s been three years now and I feel great. I can walk/jog 1.5 miles at 65 years young, but I’m learning these past ten years by growing herbs to heal and cook with that’s the easy part. Again thank goodness for many more great videos. Oh I’ve family in Idaho too 👍🏼 God Bless

[@davidl.williams7366]

I love the way this video built to your calling, your mission appointed by God. I'm 89 years old, and am finally fulfilling my calling, too. Yes, I'm also prepping for what is obviously coming. But we must remember, it's always darkest just before the dawn. May God bless you, Dave.

[@victoriajohnson3034]

Thank you for sharing this. Instead of hiding food, we should just grow extra and preserve extra. Share with those in need.

[@heartsandmindsathome]

I agree, and believe it’s so important to share. As I’ve struggled to get our garden going, and hearing about things my grandma did, and things I need to ask my aunts to share so I can possess that knowledge and impart it to the next generation... it’s overwhelming! It used to be so commonplace, but has become so far removed from being normative. However; like you said, it is of utmost importance to get it out there again so we can be in the driver’s seat of our families’ health and livelihood! Thank you so much 💛

[@theclumsyprepper]

I've learned so much from my father, who learned from his grandmother, and would love to pass the skills along but like you've said - it's not commonplace anymore. Very few people interested in herbal medicine and being self- sufficient. I would go as far as to say that in my area people are suspicious of it. I find it impossible to give food away when I have a glut of something. People are afraid of any fruit and veg that doesn't come wrapped in plastic. It's a sad state of affairs how far today's society is removed from how we are supposed to live.

I’m so new to this world and like that other person I completely understand why they said to be careful not share your pantry. Her reasons along with what you went through with your son are largely why I’m on this journey. Thank you for your courage and doing what God called you so this Aussie ex-city girl can learn to be more self sufficient and gain my own skills & confidence to this ‘simpler’ way of life. Many of these skills will be so valuable when we embark on getting our own bit of land in the country for our family.
