I love these vids and the history. I am a retired teacher and history is both fascinating and necessary. Living history must make history interesting. For example, well into the 1950s, a significant portion of the American population was still rural.
Great video, Excelent ! The normal everyday aspect of survival & living in the 1700,1800, and early 1900’s Is very relative to the civil war impression. Thank you very much. You have and find awesome great guests always.
very interesting, I learned a lot *LIKED* the video. *1st Minnesota SharpShooters* channel with Civil War reenactor live fire, hard marching, and rustic adventure ... enlist today.
The smaller animal matures to a harvesting size quicker. You can more successfully have pork of the same year the animal is born. Beef is a much longer investment of time.
Hogs were relatively cheap and easy to grow and they also have litters of babies whereas cattle only have one calf.
Due to the health risks using sodium nitrate, commercial packers are required to use sodium nitrite.

These videos are always a favorite of mine. As a living historian they are always filled with useful information.

Love these, could you do one on salted/ preserved beef?
I love the civil war and pork!

Great video!
That's interesting. I've always associated 1800s America with cowboys; therefore, beef. I didn't think pork would be more common.

It’s whatever animal too. Deer, rabbit, turtle, etc….Rabbit is actually very good. Turtle soup is surprisingly good too.
Pigs could bs sustained on a much cheaper diet and I believe convert food to product more efficiently than cattle
Any available for sale??
