Preparing to Survive and Thrive Homestead
Приєднався 10 лют 2022
We will discuss how to prepare for life's little and big upsets, how we will survive them and then learn to thrive through them. In order to survive and thrive we must learn skills that are new to us but will be remembered from days gone by. We will learn how to repurpose items that can be used for survival, creating gardens, shelters, day to day item that will be needed in a grid down situation, and calming techniques - one of the most important but over looked tools to make it through life's journey.

I use horseradish leaves in pickles to keep them crisp. It doesn't change the taste but the leaves have tannins to keep the pickes crisp. It works the same as grape leaves
@@angelapennington4778 thsnk you!
My squash plants mostly kept shooting out male flowers and no female flowers. They just started sending out female flowers a couple weeks ago. But Ive severely neglected my garden. So honestly no judgement from me on a garden full of weeds. Honestly your gardeb if full of life and gorgeous. Mines definantly a hot mess this year. I like to grow lambsquarter, most throw them away as a weed but they have medicinal value. Mine didnt grow this year however. Can you spell the vine you were asking about. Im not sure i am hearing it correctly. I can check my books and see if they show up as medicinal or not. And as madness as you claim your garden is. I wish mine was as nice as yours. We will be updating mine next year.
@@ariofsouthdakota thank you! And yes keep adding year after year. I think your garden is amazing. In 2018 when i was staying in the camper and trying to get the house done... my garden is now where the strawberries and other perminate place have been placed. The 2nd year garden was about 2/3 of an acre - huge for me , but nothing grew.... so i put the orchard there and amended the soil for tree. Trees were growing there before the garden. So it takes time to get everything together. I'm looking forward to more of your videos.
@CharlieB_P2ST Thank you. And I completely understand where youre coming from. Its always a challenge learning new soils. This muddy soil here is certainly a challenge. Takes lots of trial and error sometimes. But honestly it comes down to if you are happy. No one else has to understand or like your garden but you. If youre happy, thats all that matters.
@@ariofsouthdakota so true!
Oh the weed we call it "mile a minute" weed
Thank you for the video! I’m sure you’ve figured it out by now, but in case you haven’t, the vacuum seal attachment is used without the ring😅
@@Ashley-ik6om thank you!
Your garden needs a care..so weedy..
@@norfarhanajadlocon678 yes, i know t9 many it seems that way... but i do have a reason for keeping some of the weeds there.
Great video as always. Glad to see you coming out and still getting things done.
@@ariofsouthdakota Thank you
Your garden is looking like mine did a couple of weeks ago. Spent a good couple days weeding it and can finally see my actual plants. 😂 rabbits keep reaking havoc on my peanut plants in my planter. I put cayennne powder on them, and it keeps them away, but the rain washes it away, and they get right on them again. The best way to tell the difference between male and female flowers on squash/pumpkin plants is if there's a bulge at the bottom of the flower. That bulge is the fruit waiting to be pollinated. The males won't have anything that resembles a bulge on it. I have some peppermint oil spray on the way right now. I'm going to use that on my fencing to make sure the squirrels dont start climbing my fence when the corn starts to mature. So far, with the fencing, they have kept out. But its coming time when things are maturing that they will start wanting to get in. Rosemary oil is great for bugs. I add it to lotions and soaps now before going in the garden, and they stay away from me.
@@ariofsouthdakota I'm sick of the bugs. Thanks for the tip on the male/female squash/pumkins plants.
is it will having a crispy texture when the flour mixed with water than dried with oven?
@@pramestinormaandarini I don't know. I've only used the freeze dryer.
@@CharlieB_P2ST Thank you. Sorry, i mean, s it will having a crispy texture when the flour mixed with water then dried with oven? Is it good for making cookies?
@@pramestinormaandarini ive never made cookies with it. But, i used equal parts of it with wheat flour and the bread turned out good. I need to make a video of that. Lol
@@CharlieB_P2ST hahaha thank you for your help!
I wish you had told us why you put a strip in the top of the mylar bag. It is way better to freeze dry than to dehydrate, if you have a choice. Your Comfrey is beautiful. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you. I prefer to freeze dry... its last long and the Nutrients are preserved better If it's sealed correctly and a mylar bag. The reason I put a strip in the mylar bag is when I want to pull the air out with a vacuum sealer there has to be have a strip in it In order for the air to escape around it. In order for the air to escape it needs the bumpy surface.
In a pinch, you can also stick a tube of 100% silicone in a 5 gallon bucket and drench a bottom bed sheet in it and completely cover it in the silicone, hang it up to dry and you now have a waterproof bedsheet that doesnt make that crunchy sound. I hope you get things situated with your mother in law soon. But at least it was a good learning experience for you and your family. Hope the rest of the year gets better for you. Very good tips, too. Corn starch is certainly my goto. 😂
Wow, the bed sheet tip is amazing. I wpuld have never thought of it. Its getting situated next week! Thank you!
Were you on crutches?
Yes, I was. But, i wasn't realy graceful at using them lol.
@@CharlieB_P2ST How long were you on them?
@@wadehamlin well, I was on the for 8 weeks along with using the other tools. But, then they figured out it was still broke and told me to use them again. But... i didn't.
@@CharlieB_P2ST Were you in a hard cast?
@@wadehamlinnope, it was a boot...
So sorry for the loss of your kitties. I know how upsetting that is.
Thank you so very much!
Bless your heart. I have broken both my ankle and i am healing from ankle replacement surgery right now. Prayers for you.
Wow! I hope you heal fast! I didn't know they did ankle replacement! Blessings
Glad to see your back!
Lol, thank you!
And when are you posting a new one?
Thats a good question. Ive filmed a few times, but nothing made it to editing yet. Hopefully soon.
I have the same stove. Nice to see your videos and tips. Thank you! I also have had many problems with it. Had a fire in a pellet storage today!😬
Oh, wow! I haven't had many problems with the stove and nothing like that. I'm so sorry.
Is it important to add sugar to the horseradish, or can a person omit the sugar ? And add a little salt to the horseradish instead? Thank you, Penny Ortiz from Oregon
Hi Penny, There is really not much sugar in the recipe, and the vinegar is what pickles it and enables you to wb or steam can it. So go for it and add the salt and skip the sugar if you want. I would probably do a few jars of both just to do a comparison. I used the recipe I was given, and it turned out amazing.
@CharlieB_P2ST Thank you for answering my question so quickly I will be harvesting and canning my horseradish tomorrow. I will take your advice and can it both ways then. Thank you again, Penny Ortiz from Oregon
Good morning, I took your advice and added the sugar to my horseradish along with the vinegar. Boy, I was totally surprised!. Because the sugar did not at all make the horseradish taste overly sweet. So I want to thank you. Penny Ortiz from Oregon
@@pennyortiz7929 that is awesome! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
👋❤
Please be aware of what ingredients you have added before offering to any animal! Some you mentioned are highly toxic to cats, dogs and many other animals.
Thank you for share.
I bought the TPW 23, I'm about to install it . could we exchange about the installation? thank you
What is it that you want to know?
I know this is a crazy question but are you using bratwurst?
thank you so much for the video. I actually bought one of those TPW 23 but not yet been installed.(very soon) If you don't mind answering some questions it will be very helpful. First I have to say that I bought it to run it only with pellet. would you mind showing how you did the heater connection? and also is their another flue pipe connection to run the pellet? or it is the same as the wood pipe one? thank you very much for your time
I run mine mostly on pellet except when it is really cold, then I add wood. There is one flue pipe... it's a 4 inch 2x walled. Now, how we connected the heaters... I'm going to have to wait to answer that when my husband gets home. I have a broken ankle, so im moving really slow and can't get to the basement. I bought most of the equipment off of Amazon and Home Depot. Give me some time, and I'll get a list together for you. When are you expecting the stove?
the TPW 23 is home. ready to be connected. first thank you very much for your answer. Hope you are doing better. We would like to run the stove only with pellet and have it heating up 2 water heater baseboards. I have been asking a lot of questions regarding electric connections. Now it is clear. but still, We don't get how to have the water running in the system? If you could help on that it will be very helpful. @@CharlieB_P2ST
sorry for not being clear enough. My question was how to fill up the stove of water. I understand that there is a pump inside to stove for the water circulation through the pipes and heaters. But how to get the water inside? thank you @@CharlieB_P2ST
@frederiquemortierdaumont1035 I'm going to make a short and post it. I think that would be easier than explaining it without pictures. Keep on the look out for one.
@@frederiquemortierdaumont1035I posted the short... I hope it helps
Certainly something some people fail to plan for.
Yes, true. thankfully, I have some help here. I didn't prepare for the medical equipment I want to make getting around earlier. It's ordered now.
Dagsi has been asking for some pork meals. I dont eat alot of pork. Might have to convert my BBQ to a smoker.
@@CharlieB_P2ST Just use coals, get them red hot and put smoker chips on top of the coals. have to keep
That looks good! Im getting caught up on all the videos I missed the last few weeks.
Check out my shorts... and then give me a call or text lol
I dont ever think Ive used dill on fish. Saving this video for when I go fishing again in the spring.
Wow, you are missing something that's amazing!
Fractured mine in Oct 2017. Had the hardware removed last month. Good luck with your recovery
Dagsi wants me to make this for him now. Looks good.
It was very good! Just keep that bag closed when shaking! lol
the equipment is really very clea❤
Thank you
Great Video.
Thank you!
Mom you said tomatoes at 1:48 😂😂 thems some good tomato fruit leather. 😂 please note i dont recall there being perforations as i ate the whole one each time
Yes, I know on both...
Looks yummy
I cut top off of onion then do cut around outer skin three times then use fingers to peal outer layer off. Works every time^^
Thank you, I will have to try that!
I like this video.
Absolutely Love chickens.
And these ladies are super friendly!
Sorry its taken me 2 days to watch this video. I started watching it yesterday and had to continue today. I absolutely LOVE fruit leathers. unfortunately my dehydrator is the round one and it messes with my OCD when I make them round lol. but they are also great rehydrated when out in the wild. Ive rehydrated them before and it certainly added to my mental comfort. But thats something some survivalists have been doing more and more now days. These look absolutely amazing though.
Hey, round ones could be like fruit leather pancakes. I've never rehydrated them... but maybe I'll try that someday.
Well they would be round with holes in the middle.
Use newspaper or old towel over ash bucket when cleaning stove .
Never seen a steam Canner before. thats pretty neat. My pressure canner just blew up (Not literally) so I had to order a new one. kinda wish I saw this before I ordered my new pressure canner LOL. nice berries though.
A steam canner is like a water bath canner. Using a PC is optional for meat, veggies, and such that are low acid. You can always use a PC as a water bath. I'm glad you ordered the PC!
They slow down egg production when they get less sunlight. so as winter progresses their egg production will start to go down more and more. something about the vitamin D from the sun.
Yes, that is true. Plus, these hens are just now coming into their laying years. But, I do love them!
Okay, Ive hooped back into watching this video 5 times now. I keep having to get up and do something.. but Thank you for this video. You helped me answer a question I was trying to figure out for my next video. Great looking food. Hope you had a Great Thanksgiving.
Great! I'm looking forward to watching that video!
🥰
its always a sad day when the garden comes to an end for the year.
Yes it is!
Sweet, Wish I had a freeze Dryer. They are just too costly and I wouldnt get enough use out of them. cool though.
They are costly... but you would be surprised just how much stuff you will freeze dry. I do leftovers for complete meals so they don't go to waste. I'm looking forward to some Thanksgiving leftovers to freeze dry. Thank you.
looks great, and the struggle is real with that corn starch lol. Ive been known to take the immersion blender to it when making gravy when its gotten frustrating. Okay it was my first time cooking Thanksgiving Dinner and I wasn't about to server lumpy gravy 😂
Omg. That's awesome! I normally do not have a problem unless I'm in a hurry. Slow cooking the gravy makes the lumps dissolve.
Yeah, after years of doing it, I got more patience. But my first Thanksgiving dinner I cooked and invited my and my bf at the times family over and was super high strung.
Did you change any temp settings? Or just the standard factory settings? Thanks!
I never changed the factory setting or did any software upgrades... to be honest, I'm scared I've heard nightmare stories about the updates.
@@CharlieB_P2ST Thank you!!!
Pemmican? I am on a freeze drying spree as well. bf is getting on me to make room in the freezer LOL. but had to start with banana's and eggs. currently going Mushrooms, next will be more eggs, then I am going to tackle the freezers.
"PromoSM"
This was great! Could you explain the setting you had? Im a 1st timer and want to duplicate this.
Omg I usually get notified of new videos from you, opening up my youtube and seeing this video was a very happy Surprise! Great recipe too!
