Winter Homesteading ~ Wild Pork & Watercress

We hunt when the weather is cold so our dogs do not over heat but also because there is less fire risk and the pine forestry is open up to us o hunt. We pay $100 for a hunting permit and take our dogs in to hunt down wild pigs. Our gardens, trees, chickens, livestock, paddock, sea, rivers & lakes often provides the rest. What we can not harvest from there we buy in at our local store.

"You don't just do what you like but you have to like what you do" is absolutely my moto, ultimately I like making things and seeing them work as I imagined which makes me willing to put up with the sound of an angle grinder and occasional steel splinters or crawling around on my hands and knees or what ever I have to do at that moment for those few minutes of seeing something work that made my life a bit better.

[@joshuasonnen5982]

There were no ads in that! Thank you!

[@gregwells8764]

old rule of thumb, plant Garlic on the shortest day - harvest on the longest day. You're looking well Clay, so is Tristan.

[@rhysforbes]

Love your videos. Grew up in Nelson but left in 1998 to start a new life in QLD Australia. You know how to make a bloke homesick.😪

I was away from home for 13 years. Oneday you will come back mate.

Me too bro. My brothers name is Tristan but it sounds a bit like Christian

[@mstrprnrgmail431]

you are are not stressed enough! I will try and be the same.

[@jessepitt]

I love old Po. She’s such a kindhearted girl. Unless you are a pig or rat… then you’re farked🤣. I think I remember asking you years ago about getting your dogs “fixed “ as it’s called in the states. It really does fox a lot of problems and if you don’t plan to breed them it has many health benefits.

I'm always glad to see a new video of yours come up. It's so nice to see well trained dogs. So many KZbinrs feature dogs with terrible behavior. Thanks for showing them what can be done. Of course all of the rest is great too !

[@robbender4129]

Another great video Clay...what I luke about you is that you always show us something new.. the mountain views from your place is amazing.. seen them before but need you to point out how beautiful it is..haha.. take care mate✌️

Much appreciated clay buddy thanks Colin ❤️🤠😘🤩😋😋☕️☕️Ps yeah I’m with you Tristan I don’t like chilli 🌶️ neither I only like sweet chilli cheer’s guys

[@RubyPlanet81]

That looked like a mad feed of pork! Tasty stews and hot rolls in winter, and Vietnamese lemongrass, mint and chilli marinated pork salads with low GI noodles for summer! 😋🤤 How does wild boar and sow go in a boil up? We just use pork knuckles from our butcher or independent grocer here in South Australia. Agree with you on adding garlic to a boil up broth. Have to use a mix of watercress, baby spinach, and cabbage or equivalent from my backyard though. Can't find wild watercress and puha here in SA, but can in NSW

[@ClayTallStories]

Wild pork makes a mean boil up.

Hey clay ,your dogs look healthy as ,I no you feed well ,how much do you feed them and how many times a day when there not hunting. 15:44

[@ClayTallStories]

Twice a day in Winter and once in summer. I regulate the amount based on their output.

That's awesome mate thanks for that 👌

Aren't you worried about trichinosis for the dogs eating raw wild boar? I know most wild boar has it and dogs are susceptible to it. Your recipe looks good though.

[@ClayTallStories]

We have been extremely lucky over the years with that.

Morning Mr. Clay; Happy Father’s Day to you and all Father’s and etc etc. It’s Sunday June 18,2023 and y’all just came in via the internet at 4:21am. Yeah, it’s early here and I am still awake. We had a young man come over and give us a estimate for a new roof; even though we got a good deal it’s still going to be around $15,500. That includes gutters, and materials. I don’t agree with everything that my other half did, but whats new. We’ll see if he did the right thing or not; time will tell. I have been busting my ass, trying to clean up around the house outside that is. He can’t help because of the ticks. I am checking into a company here in America that has products that will treat the yard, inside the house, hell even in the kitchen that’s safe to animals cats and dogs. We don’t have neither right now. Anyway, I don’t have a e Mail so I am going to have to figure out another way to order fro Power Works in order to get what we need. Maybe they have a phone number, I will check later today. People here are getting very sick from ticks. Ohhhhh, also a big outbreak of hepatitis B from frozen strawberries 🍓. Go figure right. We had some good old fashioned thunder storms 🌩 a couple of days ago. Had us a few gully washers. Made a good mess for me too clean up, leaves and debris. Such is life, right Mr. Clay? Alrighty, best be letting y’all go, before I talk y’all’s ear off. You take care and be safe. Here at the White House that idiot is flying the gay flag between our beautiful USA 🇺🇸 s. Yeah, a transgender guy flashed her breasts at a bash at the White House. Pictures and everything. GOD help us all, the almighty must be sickened by their behavior, after all he says it’s an abomination and he hates what they do. There’s going to be hell to pay for it. I would rather stand free and die; then live a life time on my knees. ❤❤❤your videos and say hi to your brother. He’s a hard worker no doubt about it. Well I just heard the birds waking up so it’ll be daylight before I know it. Good to see y’all again. Stay safe and don’t be weird. Sincerely.

[@ClayTallStories]

I could not figure out if you rise early or go to bed too late but in this one I realized you are a night owl. Your man must be sleeping while you are up watching old Clay on the other side of the world. Bless you

Just butchered a nice fat piggy [70lb] hung for 4 days [-4deg frosts here in Ikamatua] Gods own freezer lol

[@ashlangmer3618]

great knowledge but get you dogs out of cages it lets you down .

[@ClayTallStories]

The dogs need a place of rest. They are not pets. They hunt doing sometimes 20 to 40 km in a day. Their dog motels or cages, as you call them, have a waterproof house with warm, dry bedding. On the days they are not hunted, they still get run 3 times, which is more than your average pet dog gets.

[@sampocock2765]
