Speaking of a dying tradition. We just bought a 1/4 side of beef from my brother for a years worth of beef. Locally grown but also all the cuts from best to less. Average person that buys at the store on a needed basis won't spend for the top cuts and thus only eats the lowers cuts. Lots of wisdom here.
Totally agree! We do beef the same way. It matters to me knowing that the animals have stayed here on the land. But it’s harder to get these days. Need to change the way meat packing runs things
The simplicity of pioneer life is so inspiring. Those traditions have all but been lost in this complicated world. Thank you for sharing another part of a simpler time. God bless.
Oh brilliant! A friend was just telling me how tallow is having a huge resurgence among top beauty products for exactly those reasons-sometimes history has the answers 😄🙌🏻
Hi Jessie, Well with this episode I`m adjourned again with the latest episodes, it`s a lot of work to get the right doses of different wax for the best candles. It`s great that you take care of the pioneer's traditions from long-forgotten times and bring them back to life again. Very Interesting seeing how you perform the procedure from fat to ready candles. well done, Greetings Hubertus.🙏🏻🇳🇴🇳🇱🍀☮🇺🇸
Thanks, Hubertus! Rendering that tallow was a long cold job outdoors but fun to make happen 😊 I have a lot of respect for our ancestors whose daily work was very physical. There’s satisfaction in the tiredness. Hi from Montana! 🇺🇸
Yes! It’s 13 degrees with snow here ❄️ This is perfect time to make candles and cook in the old cabin 🔥 Hope you get time to be off the road and live slow.
What a perfect tutorial as we step into winter! That was delightful. The crispy fat rinds made me hungry😅Thank you! You are a gifted teacher and storyteller👏
Lovely video. I once rendered my own pigs fat into lard, it was so satisfying, pure white. Would love to have a go at tallow candles. Thank you for sharing.
Oh brilliant! Lard is the best-I wish we had pigs so that I could truly keep it all here on the ranch. How wonderful that you have done it! So many people have no clue what lard is anymore
It might be very hard to find Christmas 🎄 candles holders for the Christmas trees nowadays. Im looking forward to seeing the cabin decorations for Christmas time, and the kids may be one opening a homemade gift 🎁 like the pioneers would get back then.
I’m thinking the exact same thing! I have some hand sewing projects in mind 🤔 Any ideas for handmade pioneer gifts? I often make woodworking items for them but I don’t have enough time alone this year to get anything fun made 😂
@Montana_Ranch_Rescue Have you seen how 🤔 a lady made corn 🌽 husk dolls? For your daughter. For boys, they had woodcarved animals. That might need to be studied for ideas 💡.
Another great video as always. Thank you. I’s interesting that you just did this one about making candles. Townsend on his UA-cam channel, who focuses on 16th and 17th century colonial America, just did candles as well. Almost the same as you did. The mold and everything. Though he didn’t do the 50% mix of beeswax and tallow. I thought that was a really good idea and a great way to get the best of both worlds.
No way?! Too wild! I have been a follower of Jas. Townsend & Son truly from the start. Jon & the gang even signed our wedding card after we registered for gifts with them 😆 I learned a HUGE amount of what I know from his early candle making videos. Love their videos!! 🙌🏻 I’ll have to check out their latest candle making one.
My family butchered hogs every year and my mother rendered lard. The fat peices were cut small and when the lard was rendered out of them they were cracklings which were baked in cornbread called crackling bread.
Oh fascinating! I read a story about crackling bread once but have never ever seen it. What a flashback to times that really were just yesterday, but are nearly lost now ❤️ Wonderful comment-you’ve seen some lost ways of life
Yeah, another covid shut down and no food no power. What your doing may be more important than you could ever guess. Well, l was close on the cabin size! Just finished residing a 12/14 pump house Built late 30s. Had Anderson windows in it! With dates!
Oh man I bet! Good tip, thanks! I heard Macdonald’s used to use tallow for their fries back in the day 🤔 I bet that was their secret ingredient for success
I know you are trying to do this the old way, but i have found when i make my beef tallow i run the fat through a grinder, and it speeds the process up by alot.
Hea, this video was very educational. Is your last name could be Chandler? In Europe, like England, Chandler meant as a man who made candles 🕯. They also made little candles 🕯 for putting on the very tips of the evergreen 🌲 tree. Those candles 🕯 look so awesome 👌 👏 👍.
Thanks you for taking the time to show folks how to do this! The simple things are the best. Remember, back in History" wasn't that long ago! Musk and his Toxic Lithium batteries Aren't very "green" at all! Say, What size is that Cabin, 16x24?
Love your comment 🙌🏻 Close! Cabin is 16x20. Very true that “back in history” like this cabin was really just a blink of an eye ago-and we could have to go back to this any moment. Doesn’t take much for electric everything to crumble
For us in our 60s or later, making candles is nothing new, tallow, beeswax or a blend. But the cost of making your own is so high now, it is just not worth it, lol. A shame though.
It’s wild, I’m in my 30s and it is so far removed from anything I grew up with. But I love learning how. Neat you’ve learned about it-the beeswax is outrageously expensive for sure. I’d love to keep bees, but I’ve heard that is outrageously expensive too 😂 not mention very difficult as well
The tallow or lard can be additionally washed at least once or more, it removes any of the sediment and odor for a more pure product. Also mom would combine lots of activities when the cookstove was lit. Pot of beans, rendering lard, raising and baking bread…( I’m 63, learned this from my mom in the 70’s) very much enjoying watching your channel from NW Montana.
Prior to LED lights most lights had candle power ratings,looking at your sky with the clouds rolling along tells me that it is cold,we have had a day of 35 Celsius 94F ,ATB from Perth 🇦🇺🦘

Cheers, Ron! Appreciate you & love your comment. Snows are falling here in Montana ❄️
I love tallow! I use tallow bar shampoo with rosemary essential oil. Wonderful natural hair cleanser! No conditioner needed 😊
Oh brilliant! A friend was just telling me how tallow is having a huge resurgence among top beauty products for exactly those reasons-sometimes history has the answers 😄🙌🏻
You are now becoming the “Martha Steward” of pioneer life. (Meant as a compliment, of course.)
Please keep up the content as time allows.
Ha that is a huge compliment 🙌🏻🕯️ Appreciate it very much. Trying to stay out of prison 😉

Those kids are getting the best childhood.
I keep telling them they’re lucky & to stop complaining about the cold 😉
Looks like something I'd like to do in the shop in winters and not be on the road as often.
Yes! It’s 13 degrees with snow here ❄️ This is perfect time to make candles and cook in the old cabin 🔥 Hope you get time to be off the road and live slow.
Great hands on presentation of history.
Ah thank you, appreciate it 🙌🏻
What a perfect tutorial as we step into winter! That was delightful. The crispy fat rinds made me hungry😅Thank you! You are a gifted teacher and storyteller👏
You are very kind-thank you ❤️ I sure am having fun being out at the homestead cabin & cooking/making with the family. Love this time of year ❄️ 🍁
Thank you for taking an old man back 75 years to my grandmothers house making candles
🕯️🌲🌲🌲 The old ways were good ways. Love your comment-God Bless
Love your channel
Glad you’re here!
Absolutely love watching this I watched the rebuild of the cabin thought that was the end of your videos so glad to see it wasn’t keep them coming
Thank you! Spending time in this old homestead, just learning & cooking the old pioneer way is my plan for this winter ❄️ ☃️
Yeah, I watched the rebuild too. Glad the videos keep coming.
@ cheers! So glad you’re here for the renovation and now the experiencing of this old cabin 🙌🏻 Thank you
Lovely video. I once rendered my own pigs fat into lard, it was so satisfying, pure white. Would love to have a go at tallow candles. Thank you for sharing.

Such a wonderful video. Love the house plaque. Love candle making. It’s our next project along with shampoo bars, already did soap bars.
Oh shampoo bars are a great idea! I’d love to hear how you do it 🤔
@ I’ll let you know when when have made them.😊
It might be very hard to find Christmas 🎄 candles holders for the Christmas trees nowadays. Im looking forward to seeing the cabin decorations for Christmas time, and the kids may be one opening a homemade gift 🎁 like the pioneers would get back then.

Very nice. Looked like you had fun.
I did 😊 Perfect place to be on a cold Montana day

@ It’s always neat running into somebody who enjoys similar Contant, and watches the same UA-camrs.
@@michaelnorman4476 Agreed 😊
very very good thank you my friends... love
Thank you my friend 🙌🏻
Nice video 😊
Cheers 🥂 We had some fun

Yes my dad salt cued the hams and shoulders then after they took salt they were packed in sifted ashes from the wood stove to keep for the winter
@ Ashes?! That’s fascinating. Very smart. Preserving food takes tremendous knowledge. I’d like to learn more about
Yeah, another covid shut down
and no food no power. What your doing may be more important than you could ever guess. Well, l was close on the cabin size! Just finished residing a 12/14 pump house
Built late 30s. Had Anderson windows in it! With dates!
Oh wow too neat! Glad you are keeping the 1930s building alive 🙌🏻 They aren’t making them like they used to
Tallow makes the best French fries for a future project!
Oh man I bet! Good tip, thanks! I heard Macdonald’s used to use tallow for their fries back in the day 🤔 I bet that was their secret ingredient for success
I know you are trying to do this the old way, but i have found when i make my beef tallow i run the fat through a grinder, and it speeds the process up by alot.
That’s a smart way to do it! I’m sure that speeds the process up-I will do that next time for sure 🙌🏻

Brilliant! You are named Chandler! Is candle making in your family history? I love the idea of making tree candles 🕯️
Great video on historic life. Are you going to do soap or lotions made from tallow?
Yes I am! I’ve never tried but I saved enough fallow for a small run 😄 Great thinking
I hope just, no vegan buy your candles 😂😂😂 put a sticker on the candles. 😂😂😂NOT VEGAN 😂😂😂 love it, history is coming back in a positive way this time.
Hahahahaha 😂 Pretty true 😱
Thanks you for taking the time to show folks how to do this!
The simple things are the best. Remember, back in History" wasn't that long ago! Musk and his Toxic Lithium batteries
Aren't very "green" at all! Say,
What size is that Cabin, 16x24?
Love your comment 🙌🏻 Close! Cabin is 16x20. Very true that “back in history” like this cabin was really just a blink of an eye ago-and we could have to go back to this any moment. Doesn’t take much for electric everything to crumble

@ Women were amazing-they worked so hard to make the daily life of the family keep moving. Thank you for sharing!
Or buy a tub of Crisco
Haha it’s funny people have replaced lard with crisco (which is imitation but not actual lard) 😂
Prior to LED lights most lights had candle power ratings,looking at your sky with the clouds rolling along tells me that it is cold,we have had a day of 35 Celsius 94F ,ATB from Perth 🇦🇺🦘
Oh yikes man that is too much 🥵 I’m out here shivering in the wind & you guys are cooking down there in Perth!
