[@HomesteadTessie]

Love you and thank you for sharing!!!

[@BrooklyngirlLovesCrochet]

I like any videos u put up about prepping food, supplies, etc. Prepping ideas and most definitely anyrhing about your gardens! 👍👍👍

[@justwondersometimes2482]

Im happy to hear you will continue to do videos. I enjoy this prepper channel the best!

[@yvette6160]

Y'all are great and have a faithful following. My family included. Love how positive you are. Keep the faith. Looking forward to the dirt. 🤗🤠

[@miamisweets]

We've been so touched and humbled by the grace with which you're handling this tough time. We love watching your videos, and look forward to following along in your family's journey. We're sure all things will work out wonderfully... lots of good wishes for you all :)!

[@roniniowa1661]

I have been amazed at your pantry. I'm sure you spent a fair amount of time gathering, producing it. I joined your site only a few months ago and have enjoyed all your videos. I love the positivity and willingness to share you both have shown. I have learned much from Guildbrook farms. I will continue to watch your videos and I've learned recently the best way I can help is to not skip the ads. I just let them play through now.

[@Guildbrookfarm]

+Ron Impens Welcome! It's fine to skip the ads (I do lol!). If you want to support us, there are 3 ways to do it in the description and 2 cost nothing 😉 Thanks for hanging out w us!

[@Tbear7000]

Enjoyed the video, see ya on the next one..

[@WholesomeRoots]

Awww, Jamie you are so sweet! I can't wait to see what the future holds!

[@Guildbrookfarm]

+Wholesome Roots Us too lol!

[@kristianglen5990]

I don't have a specific question, but looking forward to the prepping video. We learned a lot going through Hurricane Matthew last year, but always looking for new ideas.

[@kimcouch8285]

Your the best! Ty for your videos 😊

[@KennedyHomestead]

You guys deserve the support, your viewers love you, for good reasons too! My prepping question is about space, when you buy a house do you look at how much space you will need for the pantry, ie convert a bedroom into a pantry? Thanks for your amazing videos

[@iamgeorgekk]

I would LOVE to see a prepping Q&A! You have talked a lot about getting food in bulk at a discounted price from various places... I would LOVE if you would go into more detail about what resources you use, and what kinds of things you like to look for.

[@carmenv6630]

After watching your spaghetti sauce video: I collected my tomatoes and basil from the garden and I did it. I even took the extra step and canned it. First time and so excited!!! Thanks for the motivation.

[@Guildbrookfarm]

+Carmen V 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@barbarastephenson6222]

I would love to hear more about prepping. I have passed your channel info on to several friends. I hope they tune in!

[@Guildbrookfarm]

Thanks!

[@shallowcreekfarm9282]

I enjoy your videos about canning and chickens.im not into goats but you have a wealth of knowledge. Good luck!

[@suzisaintjames]

My prepping question is for Jeremy: If there was a no electricity crisis = no power tools, besides the basic tool kit you mentioned in your recent video, what else would you have in your toolbox... Here's the same question for Jaime, what electric kitchen or garden tools would you duplicate with a manual tool and which electric tools would you do without?

[@YTube900]

Suzi Saint James great job on the questions!! Would love to know as well

[@feltingme]

I would love to see hyour natural first aid kit as part of the prepping. Also, since you store lots of stuff that needs to be cooked, do you have some sort of camping stove or similar thing to cook them during disaster? I am also thinking about adding high nutritional value things like molasses, seaweed, herbal powders, green powders.

[@SparksMakesFire]

I was given some ripe tomatoes the other day so I used your recipe to make some home made tomato sauce. It was very good! Thank you!

[@Guildbrookfarm]

Awesome! Glad you tried it!

[@jengoods2246]

Love your videos keep them coming 😀❤️

[@sable423]

this is so funny i came across your channel 3 hours ago and still watching. lol i have been prepping for about 5 years now and i have learned by making mistakes. we all do at some point !

[@Guildbrookfarm]

+linda cinnante Welcome!

[@sable423]

THANK YOU !

[@traceywye6480]

the place where you can get plants to grow sounds like the front garden also it would clear and long term improve it when you grass over to sell and legal if you are going to stay another year.

[@hollym.3599]

If I don't have a basement to put a pantry in, what else would you suggest. I live in Ohio so outside is not good in the winter. I do have a sun porch, but it gets hot in the summer.

[@ZannaTheGreat]

My prep question is this: Do you plan on taking any of those pantry items with you if you have to evacuate? If so, how much and what do you take and how, when it's so heavy and bulky. We have a bunch of food storage, but struggle with the idea of leaving it behind, if evacuated.

[@theIAMofME]

Same here. That is a big worry.

[@poodledaddles1091]

good video

[@theIAMofME]

You've lived through my (in my head) worse case scenario. A major earthquake! I've been through THOUSANDS of tiny tremors and such. But, I still remember the 4.9 I went through as a nine year old kid. It was horrible and it was ONLY a 4.9. Of course our soil is different here...and the intensity is amplified tremendously because of liquefaction. I would love to know what you took away from your Nepal experience that you had never thought of before "that" day. I prep to stay here. Stay put. But, I know if something like that happens...a big one...I'm not sure staying here would be possible at all. I would love to hear your thoughts and anyone else chime in on ideas for that ..that has truly been through it. Love your videos!!!

[@theIAMofME]

And I don't mean horrible as in damage. I mean I think it scarred my mind for life. I was 30 miles from the epicenter close to the Mississippi river.

[@drummerlovesbookworm9738]

The universe is working in your favor. And I'm cheering you guys on. xojennyinseattle

[@RiverBirchFarm]

Watched all your videos this week, loved them all and so happy to hear that you will be continuing with more. I have no intention of leaving my animals and farm if shtf scenario, but there are so many out there who do not prepare for a problem and I am concerned about what to do about them if they come our way to try and take ours. My son thinks the chickens and turkeys will lure people because they can hear them. I think I am going to learn to can on an outside wood fire just in case I have to put the roosters and toms in the pot! The hens are not as loud and we live in a secluded wooded area a quarter mile down our driveway from the road. Maybe enclose them in a building so they can't be heard ? What do you think?

[@norahbradley5138]

With neighbours like that I'd really start at least planning a move. Those people are not good neighbour's and they are going to make you miserable.

[@dereksimenac8844]

share a property/commune with other like minded people, strength in numbers and everyone works together like hutterites etc

[@sable423]

i love like minded people. and yes you are right there is strength in numbers !

[@frankieodom]

Have you or anyone else tried the Power Pressure canner XL advertised on tv? I can with a Presto Canner on my gas stove.

[@Guildbrookfarm]

+Frankie Odom No we haven't heard of it

[@CupcakeBaker1982]

I'd like to know what you have in your medical supplies xx

[@tanikokishimoto1604]

I hope the best for you, and that you can find a place in your current area that is affordable and will allow you to raise livestock as you wish. Probably with a larger back yard so you don't have to garden in the front. I bought my land about 18 years ago, and am only now finishing up a build on it (just retired). I'm still zoned farm, but I can see the encroaching types of folk who buy in, that want to be a Big Fish in a small pond there. I am rushing to get established before they get ornery, should that be what they choose. (Chickens, Shetland sheep, meat goats in my plans.)

[@unclemikessouthernoutdoors3783]

I still say mean people suck! Juss Sayin!

[@steveharris2589]

Have a Good day Jaime!!!!!)))👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😊

[@brandytrevino]

You rock!✊ So glad y'all have lots of positive people on your side wishing y'all well! 😀 Prep question: should you inform people about prepping if they constantly say its bananas... but its a super close family member?

[@Guildbrookfarm]

+Brandy Trevino - 👍🏻

[@violetdizzy537]

Hello. I am very new to prepping. Wanting to prep and trying to start on a limited budget. I am working on building up a working pantry and a long term pantry (rice and things that don't expire as quickly). I feel it is imprtant to eat this items and be used to cooking them but running into recipes the have too many ingredients or kids won't eat. Any ideas on prepper pantry meals that are great to eat regularly? Like rice, beans stuff, or others. I am wanting to build up a "prepper" style cook book of easy to cook, healthy, easier to store items, and we enjoy eating.is it normal for prepping to feel overwhelming? Trying to figure out where to focus as a newbie is challenging. Love your guys channel and wishing you all the best. Hopes and Prayers on your new adventures!

[@essemsween818]

Violet Dizzy The truth is Violet that you're sort of looking at it the wrong way round for just starting. Everything you said is right, but; to start with, where you are now you need to stock up on stuff that you already know how to cook and you know will get eaten. Buying other things because they store longer doesn't guarantee your family will eat it. Try new recipes by all means using rice or beans the internet is littered with examples, and maybe you'll find new favourites, but you might find to start with they won't eat beans be they Black, Red Kidney or Cannelinni, so stocking them gains you nothing. Shop BOGOF's on stuff you definitely know will get eaten and get into the habit of moving your stores forward eating the oldest first. That's developing a working pantry skill. Start your 'Prepper Cookbook' for just your family, keep the successes and drop the fails into YUCK - Bin it & Maybe when we get used to it sections and you've taken a big step in taking control of being prepared. Good Luck.

[@maricaplasmans6061]

I do agree. Don't stock what you don't eat. I'm autistic so most of my meals have no more then 5 ingredients and 10 things to do to get it cooked. Jaimy has some good ones to. So she gets to go first, but I'm happy to share mine to if you want.

[@tashainjena]

Watch Big Family Homestead's video on the USDA home loans.

[@Guildbrookfarm]

+Tasha Hargrove - Thanks, we're aware of the available USDA programs and have considered it, but do not plan to take on debt.

[@tashainjena]

Cool. The whole USDA loan thing intrigued me. We are trying to move, also, but we haven't started our homestead journey yet. Hopefully in the next year.

[@Guildbrookfarm]

+Tasha Hargrove - 👍🏻

[@tarapulliam3317]

Keep staying positive :-)

[@stevenmwarehimee]

New to watching your videos and love the presentations. Very informative. My wife and I just moved to a small property and want to make the most of it as well as try to make some money with little to no funds to start with.

[@Guildbrookfarm]

Welcome to the channel!

[@stevenmwarehimee]

Guildbrook Farm | Simple Sustainable Living thanks

[@MrVailtown]

✌️✌✌✌😇😇😇

[@Grizz270]

moles are not vegetarien they are carnivorus ...they wont harm your roots or vegtables they are actualy good for the garden ...on the other hand goffers will destroy your garden

[@Guildbrookfarm]

+grizz270 Voles ...not moles

[@Grizz270]

ah my hearing sucks lol

[@robertware5076]

grizz270 i had voles destoy my whole yard...tried scents, motion, sounds, anything to make them move. nothing worked! started potting everything and the buggers would chew through the bottom of the pots!

[@maricaplasmans6061]

I liked the way my name was prenounced last time. So here is a question if you only had the money to buy one. Which would you buy first and why, the waterbathcanner or the pressurecanner? And I have a question regarding defence when SHTF occurs. We aren't alowed to carry guns where I live and I'm a paccifist. So I would like to hear your thoughts on how to defent myself and my foodstock. Or go hide and invest in pooching/ servivalskills.
