Storing 500+ Jars of Canned Food | A Day of Meals at the Cabin

[@edgarwillcut6265]

Canning is truly a lost art that was a necessity until 80 years ago you wonderful kids are an encyclopedic of knowledge and fun to watch, thank you

[@catherinemaryswartout4062]

It really is not a thing of the past. it's a real thing. It is not for many people, for sure. It depends on where you live, and what you are doing. I taught myself to can 50 years ago, I look forward to it!!

You say that you make more elaborate meals in the winter, but I’ve watched every single video you have published for a good three years and you make pretty elaborate meals in the summer too! You just cook them outside! Thanks so so much for your wonderful content! I realllly appreciate you letting us hang out with you! ❤

[@amyhendricks3627]

The meals they make are sooo amazing!! Watching them can together is like watching a fine-tuned orchestra! They manage to make hard work look enjoyable! I suppose having the right partner is key and they are a fine example of how well it can work!

Growing is so much fun,and the end results can make you feel a little more independent on yourself than stores..You should definitely think about growing your own food. I can't believe there is anyone who don't want to. You can grow your own food anywhere.

I used to help my mom make pasta like that, just waayy more and we would hang it all over the kitchen. It was the best. We lost mom 10 yrs ago and to see you make pasta like that, brought back a truly wonderful memory. Thank you both. Much love from Washington

Here in Pennsylvania,,, my brothers and I grew up on a farm,, mom did all the canning,,, and we have eaten stuff that was forgot and shove to the back of cabinet..fifty years later!!! mom said never waist anything

[@HughJorgan1]

What you describe sounds exactly like the “Veggie Boys” channel and the great vids of their family farm in Pennsylvania.

[@tezcatlipocagrande2231]

Back in the early 2000s I found home canned food in my grandmas basement from the early seventies! We didn't eat it lol we couldn't tell what it actually was.

[@letarogers6380]

The horror novella “We have always lived in the castle” by Shirley Jackson is wonderful. Two reclusive sisters live off the larder in their cellar, “There were jars of jam made by great grandmothers , with labels in thin pale writing , almost unreadable by now , and pickles made by great aunts and vegetables put up by our grandmother.”

[@Peaches-No-Cream]

Grandmother canned tomatoes for as long as I can remember until about 8 or so years ago. She had jars of tomato from the 90's that I'd crack open and heat up with noodles. Tasted so good, definitely want the start doing it more.

[@ineslima7422]

This is the first time I am seeing your cabin like this (walking in through the front door) and I must say wow it's really beautiful you are so lucky. I am a bit jealous

[@ladyofthemasque]

As a writer living a very modern life, it's sometimes hard to imagine just how much food a person needs to survive winter, let alone most of a year, yet it can be useful to visualize it for storytelling purposes. So it's great to be able to see visually how much food you have for two people...and yes, I know that's not always counting all the things in that large chest freezer, either! What would be a rough percentage of food brought in from other sources (grocery, hunting, fishing) to supplement what you have? Things from outside your property, I mean, the things you don't have in your food storage.

[@tjeanvlogs9894]

Here is a base number for you as a writer, 3 million calories per family of 4 per year yields about 2000 calories per day. This is the base number I use when helping people design their permaculture projects.

[@xan15h]

It is sad that you are taking a break from farming. I subscribed because of that. But do your thing. I really enjoy your videos.

[@markt7663]

You found something more precious than gold in Alaska, you found inspiration and that's contagious thank you for sharing that .my wife and I love you both .(oh yeah and animals)

It appears that a big pantry room should be on the "To Do List" for this spring. Y'all are doing a great job with the canning and preserving. Reminds me of my youth. The only thing mom went to the store was salt, pepper, sugar, and yeast.

Just stumbled upon your channel after it popped up in my recommendation. If you want to have straighter pasta and make sure it’s thin every time, use a guiding tool like a ruler, or your rolling pin so that you don’t have to pick it up each time to move it.

[@p.t.anderson1593]

BTW - That interaction between you two from 23:15 to 23:30 brought me to tears. That's all I've ever wanted and I hope you understand how rare it is and what it's worth.

[@nathanwood3029]

Hi! I have been in HVAC since 1979 and I have a lot of experience with propane (LPG) and you are definitely on a ticking time bomb! Having your propane tank inside your living space is dangerous. Propane is heavier than air and so if you have a leak, it will gather at the lowest place in the room and displace oxygen in your lungs and you will suffocate and pass out unless you are able to expel it. Just FYI... a insulated box with a heat bulb or thermal blanket around it plugged inside is recommended. regular fitting checks with bubble tests can save a life. All the best... love your vids... bang on!!

[@Tinaraine]

Great meal! As a chef myself I'm always looking for new ideas and I love the way you guys work together coming up with such great looking meals. Thanks for sharing. Happy Holidays.

When you were holding up jars and talking about the contents it made me remember the canning videos or the fishing trips. It must be so rewarding to eat what you grow yourselves.

[@amyhendricks3627]

Right? Oh, I remember that fishing trip and the smoke fest that followed! Oh, watching them roast the onions and peppers that went into that sauce made my mouth water! And, that cowboy candy and onion jam?? Yes, please!!

[@Passioakka]

Hard work but oh so nice to have a huge food storage, especially with no gardening for you next year! I don´t have the same amount as you guys but at least I have enough to keep us going "full out" for a couple of month. 10 yrs ago we got unemployed for a year and had no money and three kids to feed. I have always stocked up but after that my priority is to have full pantry and freezers, because me and hubby starved. Food is essential for life, giving us strength to work for surviving, the wheel of life. Now it´s time to prepare todays dinner (and some for the freezer); meatloaf! Yesterday I made hamburger buns so we will fry slices of meatloaf as hamburgers, delicious! Stay safe and I wish you a terrific New Year! 💖

[@lindak3030]

If you want thinner pasta, oil that table and roll out in the oil, it'll allow your dough to slide along the surface of the table. You can also let your pasta dough rest for an hour or so to let the gluten develop. That'll allow the dough to stretch more.

[@MrAntoniosavelli]

Wow you guys work so Hard one recommendation when you eat Chill a little have a seat and enjoy the food that you worked so hard preparing and Have a great Day.

surely there's a cookbook in the making here? although no one not living in a hunting/fishing area, could afford to make such great protein meals, the pasta/bread/tortilla/etc and the canning of certain stuff, would be applicable to all those with gardens, allotments, or good markets (real outdoor markets not supermarkets). I cook a lot and I love watching you cook. thanks for your content.
