FINALLY some survivalists/preppers that realize humanity has never survived solo. Subscribed.
Totally agree . But i have not met anyone I am willing to share my hard work with . Ive been off grid 5 years.
I have built every thing myself .
My cabin is only 500sqf .i have a well,solar panels and battery bank ,
Wood heat, generator back up.
Working on my garden and small greenhouse . And my food preps.
I know in time of shtf . I wont last long
For someone would over run me .
But I dont want some one to worrue about killinge in my sleep from some one i know .
It would be awesome to have a community that was seriously ready to achieve what's neccasary to be self sufficient and have enough wisdom as well.
well Hank, get er done!
Shofar Mountain. Or a lot of small towns. And not like "oh what a cute little town" small town. I'm talking population 800 kind of towns.
I agree need a community
Alan Kay rocks! Wish he’s make a weekly UA-cam show!
you probably dont give a shit but does someone know a way to get back into an instagram account??
I somehow forgot the password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me
@Dominick Ty instablaster =)
Growing up, every time a hawk flew by my granny would tell me to get my gun and try to shoot it. She lived through the Great Depression as a share cropper and didn’t tolerate any predators near her chickens. I tried to tell her we’d get in trouble for shooting them but I never convinced her. 😉 I wish she were alive now then I’d feel a little better prepared for what’s next.
Only in trouble if you get cought
I have one thing to say...You guys are amazing. There is a wealth of wisdom in your words and humor. Please, those who are listening, take in and heed their word AND humor.
I'd love more of these: homesteading / small farming / goats / rabbits / chickens / bees.
Look up entomophagy if you haven't already; a great source of protein, easily manageable with a shed and temperature sensor to keep conditions comfortable -2 billion people incorporate these critters into their daily diet.
Just my thoughts. Over the years I’ve noticed some years are abundant in one thing but not others next year it will be the other way around. Don’t take a bounty of anything for granted. Preserve it all. This gets you through the lean years. Like last year I had a bunch of apples and dried them all. This year with the drought, there’s probably about five apples on the whole tree.
Past winter i was going to gather acorns to make indian bread .
The drought was harsh only found a few small acorns. The deer were eating them as soon as they fell .
It will probably be the same this year.
With all the BS nonsense going on in this country and worldwide this video was a very welcomed change of pace thanks.
Why isn't this taught in school anymore? This should be essential, for the principals, if nothing else!
Interesting seeing others doing what we’re doing on the farm. We are a full on preparedness/survival/homestead channel! Lot of people seem bored with what we do but I’m fascinated by it! Meat rabbits,pigs,chickens,meat birds,bees, a huge garden etc… VERY hard to raise livestock AND feed them without any help from outside sources for feed! Great conversation!
I grew up when my grandma and grandpa had a garden ..Good eating..We had a papa tree with sweet papa on them and ice cold spring water that we had to carrier ..
My grandparents had a trick that if you put fishing line around a garden it will scare off deer (because they can’t see it and it scares them) we tried it this year and it worked never had any problem with deer only thing that got in was rabbits
The best survival talk I have heard. This is what is missing in today's society. We wouldn't have all this crime if just getting by required you to work till you drop everyday. School would be a luxury that children looked forward to. Teachers would be directly responsible to the parents the way they should be. Much love to you guys and your families. Your outlook and focus is inspirational.
The Foxfire books are a great source of info on the way the old timers use to do things
Enjoyed watching. So much good advise. Best part is about community. The Amish are a fine example of that. Through out history everyone relied on someone.
Need more Alan Kay!
This survival video is likely the best I've ever seen. That was monstrous info.
Sobering, depressing and yet uplifting.
We have killed ourselves with assumptions and ignorance.
One thing I've always been right about. We cannot do it without community. Period.
Well I think people do live longer today but also they used to live longer long ago as well because the food was not so contaminated with all kinds of chemicals in there and people they had quite a lot of natural herbal remedies for sicknesses which was quite accurate from what I'm seeing we're going back to that
I like your barn and very interesting fireplace
Thanks for this info 👍 my wife and I want to be homesteading hopefully within the next yr!! GOD bless you and God bless America 🇺🇸
The Battle of New Orleans is my daughter's favorite bedtime song. She calls it "the crocigator cannonball song".
I have great pyrenees as well; they, are the best dogs.
I’m absolutely going to make a stove like that in my wee mini barn in my back yard.
Great Pyrenees? There is too much for one person to learn and to know. That is why building a team or community is so important.
Excellent discussion. This is a subject on a lot of peoples minds right now.
Food for thought, literally. Excellent video. Need more like this. Thank you
As I was growing up, we did the hay stacks. It takes a lot of hay to go around a pole to make a haystack. We cut it with a sickle, an got it up with a pitch fork. Hard work.
LOVE THE GREAT PYRENEES ...LOVE GOATS...CHICKENS ARE OK TOO. ITAKES A LOT OF CARING AND DEDICATION TO HAVE ANIMALS. USED TO LIVE LIKE YOU...BUT MY MOM AND DAD ARE GONE....MY SON AND HIS FAMILY MOVED AWAY...JUST ME NOW...ALL I HAVE IS A SPANIEL AND 6 CATS. GOOD FORTUNE FOR YOU AND YOURS...IT CAN BE A DIFFICULT LIFE...BUT..SO MUCH MORE WORTHWHILE...BLESS YOU..WE DID NOT LIKE THE GUINEAS EITHER....ALTHOUGH...GOOD ALARMS....
Well done
Nothing like just sharing the Honest Truth
Thx
I love this- I remember cutting wood with my dad, also bringing wood in when I got married. My husband, then, was such an outdoorsman. This is calming, I’m saving so I can watch again, thank you for sharing.
Great content gentlemen. Add a few more chairs and you’ve got a meeting I would pay to attend.
I tried to grow potatoes last year and I did it small scale just to see how hard it actually is. I grew them in bags and got roughly 200 spuds out of the whole lot. Obviously not enough to feed me through the winter but I was able to do it. The watering was the only thing that really made it difficult because water is heavy as fck and its very time consuming....but not impossible if set up correctly this time. This summer I will see if I can stretch that out, set up a water catchment system to make it easier. There are a lot out there that still have their heads stuck in their phones...I worry about them a lot.
Look into permaculture techniques like the use of swales on slopes to catch far more rainwater than you’d think. Some are also gardening with wood chips or straw to create a very spongy soil that retains water and is very fertile. “Back to Eden” and “Ruth Stout Method” respectively
I’ve tried potatoes in bags and directly in the dirt. I have had a lot more success putting them directly in the ground. They seem to need a lot less water. Also, it seems red potatoes will tolerate more wet conditions, but russets like it a little drier.
You should worry about the ones with their heads stuck in their phones. When things get hard, they will try and live off your hard work and preparation with no thought as to how you got there or what you had to sacrifice along the way.
Excellent discussion
excellent discussion - thank you.
I like your new place Alan! Great topic. Rob
Great conversation!
This is a very timely video as I just finished the first season of Alone last night and watched Alan claim the victory. Kind of wondered how he adjusted back to reality and wouldn't you know a new video featuring the man shows up in my feed today. Glad to see some sanity has returned to your countenance, sir.
Strong words and food for thought......
A great video gentlemen! More people need to have a better understanding of truth in sustainability, farming, homesteading and surviving when the lights go out and there is no fuel. It's a reality of what we could face in America. All it takes is one device set off above .middle America, to create an EMP, then good bye to 90% of the population in our country, within one year, or less. Nice jobl
It is good to see you back again Alan, you sure are looking a bit bushier.
That dog was adorable.
Love You Guys. So much Wisdom. Respect.
The long term is definitely overwhelming and scary
Great to see Alan as always!! Hey Alan, I’d love to see the wife and kids in some of your videos ♥️
This is a great video thank you for sharing! I’m working to get started on homesteading myself. I know it’s no cake walk and that comment on backyard gardening is a learning curve on what works and what doesn’t is true…
Both of you are incredible! Truth,truth,truth, love it!
"I don't put a lot of stock into mechanized things, because I'm of the opinion that one day we won't have fuel."
Prescient words indeed. It's coming and it's going to be ugly.
Update: Diesel up at least 75%. Gas around $5 a gallon and likely $6 by August. The illegitimate junta further diminished domestic production, thereby reaffirming that this entire situation is intentional and malicious. Like a boa constrictor, they won't stop squeezing until you stop moving.
Im new to your channel and i cant wait to see your next videos.
I like those boots that Alan has on. It's hard to find tall men's boots that aren't cheap or covered in camouflage.
This is great. I’d love to see more of this type of stuff.
...what blows my mind, still, considering close-house subdivisions, or "house farms", as I call them (many are built in what used to be, not that long ago, a farm field), is why these people would pay 1/2 million, or 3/4 million, or even a million dollars for these houses, when they could buy a very nice house on some acreage, a mini-farm, or a nice estate for that same money???
100% right on! 🇺🇲💪
I watch lots of servival channels.
Full spectrum servival.
Canadian prepper .
You guys really doing ,liveing ,working it.
Good job.
Mountain man you can take my cheez-its from my cold dead hands!
For real though y'all putting out some great content!
The potato famine in Ireland
The farmers had to pay rent to the English landlords
All the food was exported to England while the starved
Awesome and true contents as always boys keep up the honesty
Glad you guys are telling the truth! People need this truth bomb so they start thinking Properly
I love these pleas ceep them coming
Just learned about salting hay this month.
Have hand tools and am learning how to use them. Also drive & pack with horses. Helping a friend with his hay fields before he is not well but its worked out well as its got us our winter hay stock..
Been homesteading for 4 yrs but its still a learning curve. Still trial and error.. learning foraging gathering and always learning
What is salting hay?
@@lynlee6861 you take you hay and pour salt over the top it draws out any moisture in it if its been rained / snowed on. There are video on you tube
I enjoyed this video and made me think about growing up on a small farm and learning to hunt from my dad. Even on our farm, we were never 100% self sufficient and in our culture (even with things the way they are now) we will probably never be able to go back to 100% self sufficiency. I think if anything, we'll go to a blend of both worlds. As Jason pointed out, he drove there in his truck. There will be things we personally can't produce, make, etc so we still rely on someone for something. Understanding this to me is very crucial because it means I don't have to do it all. Could I do it all, no, and if my family needed me to and I couldn't, then I failed them which terrifies me. Knowing your limitations and who to go to when your knowledge runs out, is vitally important.
I cleared some land by hand.
I dug around the trees and cut six inches out of the main roots and I winched the trees over with a hand winch. That got the trees down and pulled up the stumps. I cut up the trees into firewood and I burned the stumps
This was a great video! As a soon to be father, I have been doing a ton of thinking about how I want my kids to grow up, and what I really need to prepare them for. I grew up in the middle of nowhere in MS, but I live in a very large city now. Everything about it screams WRONG! Now, I find myself saving up to buy land and a reasonable house to homestead in the the country again. I want my kids to know how to survive when (not if) civilization falls. My great grandmother lived in a very small town in a single wide trailer, but she filled her entire 1 acre back yard by growing vegetables; she never went to the grocery store, and lived to be 90 eating what she grew. If she can do it, surely we can too. Although, she was a fierce lady who slept with a .44 magnum revolver under her pillow at night LOL! One thing they mentioned about getting sick and not being able to take care of the animals/crops... that also applies to traveling. You can't just up and go to costa rica for a month and leave behind all those animals to fend for themselves. You'll need to pay someone to take care of it, or find a really good friend! Just something to think about.
Johnny Horton! Love them tunes!
One of the best videos out there.
I don't think self suffiency is possible or even desirable. We need tribe.
In a tribe one man made the best arrow heads. One woman made the best baskets.
I lost a few chickens myself before I figured out how to stop it.
A chicken equals a lot of meals. I can't afford to lose any.
A seed is a meal. I have to figure out how to give each seed it's best chance to produce for as long as possdible.
Gardening is a very steep learning curve. The time to start learning is now.
I still work a 9to5 and live in town. But I have chickens, rabbits and a small garden
I am learning the skills so I can quickly expand up in scale when the time comes.
Growing feed for animals is a big challenge. I am studying that issue.
I would like to see videos on how others are doing it.
Thanks for the video
Ducks are very hardy and do good in cold weather. Much easier to raise than chickens
A small group can NOT be self sustained. Community is the answer! Locked in society though.... good luck everyone.
I love that he is always wearing that fleece, I used to wear mine all the time in the Army.
Alan, I was confident in my being a straight man before watching this video, but after seeing you rock that green bandana and the top tier hair, I just don't know anymore.
😂🤣😅
There is a difference between being a pervert and admiring true manhood.
@@redfaux74 your comment came up in my notifications and thought it was in response to a comment I made that was a little saucy (on a different video I think. I) I debated on posting mine not knowing if he was married and knowing many people watching these type I'd videos are quite serious and might not care for it. But we all need to be silly and giggle now and then especially now days. I'm 1000% sure anyone watching these videos completely respects his manhood. Ut oh...here we go haha.. (Not in the perv kind of way!) Seriously tho, It's kind of a scary time for some of us and giggling helps it not be as much so. (For me anyway) AND another thing that helps ALOT is knowing all of you real men (and women) are out there and that many of you are teaching us skills and disciplines that may save our lives. Ultimate respect and gratitude to you ALL!!! Thank you!!
@@lilly3068 - No prob. My comment was referring to the original post. I'm sure he was kidding as well. But you never can tell. Some of these pervs are outright trying to subvert our children to the devil. It's scary. I'm scared for our children. If we don't take a stand for their innocence we're simply handing them over without a fight. And that I won't do.
Aussie here, wondering roughly where you fellas are located. It looks a tad cold. I believe we are about to see a global financial crash, which some economists claim will make the 30s depression look like a cake walk. Some even go as far as to call whats coming The Greatest Depression
I think they're in VA, Appalachian Mts.
Good advice.
You the man Alan Kay!!
great discussion
you can make fuel ethanol aka [moonshine] get you some ethanol engines to use
We just starting out with out chicken and our first horse..post on my UA-cam channel..Love your animals..aww love the kids how old? You got a nice barn ..lol yes i believe his head is bigger then yours.lol the baby kid sticking his head. under there looking so cute
Solar power water pump will pump 15 gallon a minute.
I have a family member that still thinks two weeks of food is enough. Mid 20's never had to do without.
Great video. The great American trapper, the hallmark of self sufficiency, was regularly going to town for supplies. What books would Alan recommend about how it use to be done?
Covid finally opened many people's eyes to how fragile the society is and how most of the time we're being lied to. Top down institutions are weak and most have little faith in them anymore. The bargain of living in a society is eroding away forcing many to drop out and seek small groups of like-minded individuals that want to live for the sake of living.
I felt that hay get in my eye 1:16
I think there's two options facing this kind of senairo. One, become a trader if you have lots of land, storage facilities, room, buy in bulk and save, save, save, people will need all of it someday. Two, learn a skill and be good at it better than most so you'll be of value to a community.
Smiling about the ticking sound..if it really bothers ya then just imagine how bad it's gonna be when you have no water, not enough food and the pressures of surving have taken hold. 😆 Just adapt.
Watching a video on a smart phone, in a heated space with lights on and a freezer refrigerator stove oven and microwave, a few SUV's in the yard, about long term survival in a grid down scenario and the thing you take away from this video is WTH is that little sound...
I think its the electric fencer.my main box for the fencer used to sound like that..
I hate repetitive sounds like that too though. That’s why I had to stop watching the video. Prone to migraines
Electric fence box ....Could also be a homemade water pump that sounds like that
You also need to make foods for the animals.
Jason, you say with a straight face while staring at that Olympian that long term survival isn't SEXY? Madman.
Ha! You have a point there! Thanks for watching!
Animals feel how your mind is … they are good alarmers when some shit comes 😜✌️🍀
I would love a list of homesteading books. I already read Alan’s recent book
The Foxfire books are gold.
What is the name of his book? @Mtlk77
@@chandlercannon2179 Decline and Decay
Also get a book called the lost ways
Talking at the wood stove... What is the ticking?
Learn history.....
Didn't you know...? 'History is racist'!
Love what you guys do!
If you guys were my neighbors, we would get along great.
Yeah all my fruit trees look like they are in prison to protect them from the deer.
Keep some black colored chicken and the predatory birds will stay away. Keep up the good work brother
Cool recon
I had one female bully goat and a mean male goat.i taped their horns so they wouldn't hurt each other but around 2 years old I sold the male because he liked to hit me with his horns.i tried gently putting him on his back to show dominance but that didn't work.and way in the country we had chickens and a hawk started coming around so I had to put a net on top of the run area.then the chickens roamed down the street into the neighbors yard.we had to run a couple lines of electric on the fence so they wouldn't get me into trouble.they likes to eat the newborn grass seed.besides that goats can jump over a fence.so you do need an electric line.
Alcohol and tobacco production comes to my mind. Plus grow tents for pot with jars and jars and jars to store it. Not survival, not self-sufficiency, nor long term salvation. But just think how popular you'd be . . .
The romantic view of history has done us a disservice. 400 years ago, the Pilgrims suffered enough to make a day of Thanksgiving, just having most of them make it through a period of time. The early settlers still depending on someone in Europe producing something, and the ship making it back with that item, after they'd earned enough to buy it in the first place. Trade was vital. People traveled into the unknown and kept their eye out for natural resources. Iron, silver, gold, fur, coal. Timber. It all had to be found and exploited. That all said, most of us are screwed, if the event lasts more than a few months. That's not to say give up, but it's just going to take a massive amount of effort to replace what our nation has been working tirelessly toward, for those 4 centuries.
eye opening non political reality
I lost my whole guarden dew to over rain, it rained 30 days all day everyday,
My favorite is when the people say they are self sufficient while in front of a camera wearing store bought clothing. "Oh really?"
Carnivore diet is a great step to self reliance, if you check out Greg Judy's info. I like this video's idea of what are you going to do after the crisis, thanks guys.
Haters this is the facts and truth about what he is saying
Even most of those ponds, atleast down in the south are treated for mosquitoes, so I'm assuming its toxic with whatever they treat it with? Maybe boiling & purifying it would be drinkable? Maybe?...
