Jonah is very talented, growing into quite a young man. Love how Lily isn't afraid on her horse. Josiah seems to willing to help and the littles are so cute and growing fast.
It's fun to see Mr. Brown standing behind you WITH BRIGHT YELLOW BOOTS ON! And at the end is his successor, O'Henry looking like his brother just a short time ago. My neighbor, a former recon guy from the Vietnam war, instead of buying a new handle for his splitting maul just reached across the fence (by permission of course), grabbed a good piece of oak and in a few minutes whittled/sanded one to perfection. 20 years ago after a church lady friend sat herself in a Finger Hut glider that had a knot in one of the runners caused it to break. I did the same thing your son did and traced it from the old one and finished it out with a jig saw, Dremil tool, and finish. My roomy loved it when I could change out the rollers and belt on her dryer after changing out the ceiling fan in the dining area. Her church friend loved it too the next time she visited. Your kids have skills that they didn't get just from you. You're doing just fine no matter what you might think to the contrary from time to time.
Watching Lilly ride makes me smile !!! I would love to see a long video of her and her horse, Jonah is so talented, and all your children are amazing A good thing to thank God for !! my favorite homesteading videos are " You and the Hollers !!!
Jonah accidentally broke the axe handle so he figured out a way to replace it with scrap wood - what a talented young man. Josiah still showing his willingness to do the job but also expressing his concerns about how to do it. Lily is doing great with her horse. Can't wait to see how much Henry has absorbed from watching his siblings and begin to show his talents and willingness to participate in running the homestead.
If the tin was positioned ‘side-to-side’ rather than ‘front-to-back’, you could add a gutter for water collection for the garden, animals, etc., and have a natural water source. Just a suggestion
as a diabetic for 35 years, I can give you my experience. Waking up as much as you want to say it isn't is a stresser. Anytime my stress goes up so does my sugar as it is a response in the fight or flight. woke up this morning before watching your video 120. your 30 minute video I am now 200. but 30 minutes from now I be back down after insulin and eating. Diabetes is a cycle of balancing. Everything in moderation. Good Luck
We love GOS pigs too! They are the best pigs 🐷. We been raising them for years here in Missouri. Good to see others enjoying them also. Cool set up Looks great 👍
so one safety tip...when walking with the horse, attach a lead rope with a snap to his bit. Your not techniquely suppose to ever just grab the bridle or halter. People have lost fingers or got dragged to death when their fingers got stuck in the strap or rings on a halter.Next time, have Lilly give dad a lead rope to lead.
Wow, amazing life you're living.....and what a beautiful family.....thank you for sharing it with this suburban gal in a little apartment, And keep getting healthier and healthier....Merry Christmas......❤
Nice pig shed Justin! Too bad you couldn't set up a temporary/movable water catchment system that could water the pigs and garden? You and your boys are so talented in building things...such treasures to have on a homestead. Lily is growing into a young lady. ...and the little guys are so precious! Time for Gideon to start finding his niche on the farm. I'm sure he has a hidden skill...and little Henry just needs to "watch and learn" as my mother once told me when I wanted to learn to make homemade bread. I'm a 66 yr. old grandma and I've raised 9 children, I so wish I could share home birth stories etc.with Rebekah. She works so hard to help your family regain and maintain their health. God bless her! Just remember Justin, you may still be a young man but falling down the hill can injure anyone. Stay safe! Your family needs you. BTW I am also doing carnivore since June of this year. Trying to keep it as close to 0 grams carbs as possible. The holidays will be hard. So...stay strong! I hope you all have a blessed Christmas.
1st 10 seconds: About 20 minutes before you wake up, the liver sends a burst of glucose into the bloodstream to help you get started. Perfectly normal.
My husband wears his monitor on his chest. He is a plumber and repeatedly knocks it off on his arm. But on his chest he keeps it on and monitors just fine. Also Amazon sells clear round stickers to cover the monitor to help with waterproofing. They work incredibly well
concerning the pig port. Try hinging the gate at the top like a dump truck bed, with a removeable pin at the bottom, and then it could be a pig tractor. This would allow you to move the tractor when the mulch reaches a certain height.
Caffeine...can/will spike blood sugar level. It lowers you insulin production. Black coffee... by itself...without cream and sugar can be your culprit. Read up on that. Love your channel. Your kids are all amazing.
You end up with so much extra time on carnivore (less food prep, meal planning, shopping, and clean up) and more energy you’ve got to do something or you go nuts!
Can I ask one thing... about the videos. Can the music Volume be lowered by alot? Its very loud and I keep having to adjust the vol up when there talking and down to like 20% when music plays. The music is like a jump scare when youre playing the video and doing something else.
You need a better diabetes educator. All of these things are normal. It happens in the morning especially if you haven’t eaten. Glucose is released by your liver before you wake up to help give you the energy you need in the morning. When you don’t eat, your liver also releases glucose into your bloodstream to give you some extra fuel. It isn’t any YOU are doing, it’s your body giving it what it needs. Not to mention if you’re dehydrated, your cgm can’t read the fluid under your skin to tell what your blood sugar is. When you’re sleeping, if you’re laying on the sensor during the night, it pushes the sensor filament in too far and it isn’t able to correctly read your blood sugar either. There are a ton of variables you have to take into consideration. Not to mention, the readings are approximately ten minutes behind. So the readings you’re getting are from ten to fifteen minutes before the time you’re reading them. There’s no need to get worried of it spikes. If it doesn’t lower naturally over time, then you should address it. But, all of your numbers have been perfectly fine. You’re far from being a diabetic. In my opinion, you’re worrying about nothing and adding extra stress that’ll cause additional glucose to be released by your liver. But definitely find a better diabetes counselor that can really educate you on everything rather than asking Mr Google pants or a holistic advisor. You can get better education from a conventional counselor without having to use conventional methods.
Thank you for saying what I was going to! As far as I can tell he doesn't even need to be wearing a monitor because the monitor is just causing unnecessary stress. But my guess is he paid his naturopath for it so they can keep milking the money cow.
Be careful on your blood sugar. Daily readings don't show the important number. The important number is your A1C which shows your true avg blood sugar. As long as your A1C is below 6.0 you are in no danger of becoming diabetic and a very long way from requiring insulin
Dawn phenomenon is norma, don't stress about it. It's more the 60 and 90 minute post prandial that you need to keep down. But that should take care of itself if you keep the carbs low and don't snack. Good luck!
Your pig port has so many benefits, and is quite handy for the two pigs. I did have one observation, even after your comment that you will only move the pig port twice a year, and that is the two end walls. Could you not have made one end a permanent wall just like the side walls? And the other end a removable gate? The fixed end could be on the end that you pull the pig port when relocating. Just curious. It seemed like it would have been sturdy with all the wood you are using, and you could move the pig port whenever you like without having to uproot the T posts. Again, just an observation, and in no way trying to tell you how to do your projects. It totally looks good, and for the most part sturdy! I wonder if you would be doing something similar for any piglets in the future?
The dawning effect happens to get your body going in the morning. The body dumps some sugar into the bloodstream to get you moving. If you are keeping your sugars under control and your pancreas is doing its job, it should not be a ton of sugar that it dumps and it should regulate daily quickly.
United States Pony Club is an organization to train children how to take care of and ride their horse. Lots of competition in team format that would give Lily horse loving friends her age. A chapter is certainly near you.
JUSTIN - If you keep bumping the sensor on your arm, like I do, you can place it on your chest, or your abdomen. Works just the same.I also add extra fabric medical tape over mine to keep it on, OR you can buy things called an X-Patch which will keep it on. They are totally waterproof.
I know I sometimes post some mean comments, but I have to say, I am so impressed with how much Josiah has grown. He is the quiet one in the back that never gets much attention because he doesn’t want it. But he’s got people out here who thinks he’s a pretty good camp. The rest of your kids are good too. We all know that but come on man Josiah rocks.
Carb free biscuits made with bamboo fiber,hot heavy cream from my favorite keto cook,Victoria kitchen. Even has low carb cinnamon rolls.Thought l couldn't evet eat those again,but with these new ingredients, l can.Happy keto.
On your pond drainage, why don't you run that pipe like they do septic lagoons in Missouri? To keep the septic ponds or lagoons from overflowing, they put a pipe that sits just underneath the surface but the pipe is angled upwards to the outside of the bank so that the pond level is inside the pipe so the mouth of the pipe never gets any debris in it as it overflows. In the septic lagoons case, this keeps the Overflow from sucking all of the beneficial algae off the top of the lagoon.
Great video could you do a video on cameras for a beginner youtube lol ive had my channel 406regen about turning the homestead from 1911 to a regenerative ranch for about a year and ive been using my phone but needing to upgrade my system keep up the great work if it wasnt for youtubers like u and greg judy,gabe brown, and many other this regenerative ag movement wouldn't have taken off like it has
There is plently of camera and filming for content creator videos out there. Actually probably better than what he could do. There so many channels that compare and contrast video recording equipment. You would do better to watch those videos.
True but just a camera view isn't what I'm looking for I'm doing homesteading and regenerative ranching so he would know what he believes is best for that line of videos and what equipment he uses.
@Justin Rhodes please look into the hazards of using pig manure in a vegetable garden, it is not safe and should be used on the fields & trees only. Also, what is the plan considering you have two very large pigs in a small pen, and one is probably due to have her piglets in the next few weeks/months?
Agreed - especially in snow country. The weight of the snow will slowly cause the screws to pull out if they’re not in the flat pan area tight to the deck.
@@georgiarasmussen8343 When there is a gap between the metal and the deck it allows the metal to flex under weight which can slowly allow the screw to work its way out with the up and down movement. Let me tell you, my husband gets at least 25% of his repair calls on roofing to tighten screws and replace screws that have pulled out due to ice building up on the eave edges and flexing the metal when the screws are on the ribs. Placed right next to the overlapping rib in the pan is the way to go. Plus that’s what most manufacturers specify for proper installation.
As a scientist I have seen the "jumpiness" of raw data. Don't let one point throw you off if what you have been doing has been working. Keep on keeping on until you get a couple of values higher than you want. Good luck on your journey!!
Shoot !! Sorry Justin, I thought you were done last week !! It just looked so good, I thoughyt it was done !! But now, wowsa, it look's REALLYYY good !!
I have been debating on building something like this but am having a hard time with the thought of moving it across my yard/garden even with my 50hp tractor I feel like the edges would dig in unless the ground is rock hard like winter time or that the skids would catch and the roof tip over or break apart do to the weight of the structure. Please advise how moving this structure works for you
high in the morning is starving- liver pumps out extra glucose - a snack -protein before bed will help. Don't worry, you will figure it out, and everyone is a bit different what spikes the glucose in their diet. I taught women with glucose shifts in pregnancy, and some could tolerate a more flexible diet.
I plan to get pigs on my land, but I have one big question left if anyone can help me out. I would like to not have to buy or sell any pigs after the first set, but I’m aware of how ridiculous their breeding cycle is. As I see it, my options are separating males outside of once every now and again for a little breeding to keep them around, or just selling them. If anyone has any ideas on how to handle this without the population getting huge, I’d love to hear it.
Helped my mom with her sensor alot. Her doc said to use it as a tool less then an all out guide. Take BS with regular test strips to get the most accurate reading. My guess it went a little wonky with the increase in the AM.
My husband needed a weird shaped and sized wrench that would have been a special order item. So, my Handy Man made one by cutting out a piece of steel and grinding it down. It worked and he made it that day-he didn’t have to wait.
We fight the dawn phenonenon daily. You need to record physical, emotional, spiritual stress that you have from day to day. Cortisol is driven by so much. Also if sleep was affected, your circadian cycle and your sun exposure. Cortisol is a hormone just like insulin. The fact your insulin is reactive shows all hormones are reactive. I hope that helps you.
you are luck Justin that you didn't get Alpha-gal syndrome (AGS) from the tick bite - that is an allergy to red meat from a tick - so please still be careful with the ticks including the kids and Rebecka
I dont know if anyone has told you that your Libre Freestyle won't always be accurate. There is sometimes a pretty fair distance between them and an actual blood reading, as the CGM tests your intersticial fluid, not blood. There is also sometimes a time delay.
May I make a suggestion? My husband was having the same problem with his sugar spiking first thing in the morning. Check your tooth paste, most have sugar unless your using sugar free. Just a suggestion hope it helps
The expected values for normal fasting blood glucose concentration are between 70 mg/dL (3.9 mmol/L) and 100 mg/dL (5.6 mmol/L). When fasting blood glucose is between 100 to 125 mg/dL (5.6 to 6.9 mmol/L)
To reduce the friction between the structure body with accumulated compost one side should be little bigger than the other side. pulling side should be smaller than the end side. six inches will be enough.
My wife has been a diabetic for 10 years and she had one of those that you put in your arm and we come to find out that it does not read accurate all the time so if it's low you ought to just take your blood sugar or regular way and it'll probably read different they're really not that reliable
Ive had type 2 diabetes since the birth of my youngest. wonder if the constant monitoring is making you stress out too much. Its good to get an idea what is causing spikes and to see how high you are going at first but if you are freaking out over it, it could cause more harm than good.
Jonah is very talented, growing into quite a young man. Love how Lily isn't afraid on her horse. Josiah seems to willing to help and the littles are so cute and growing fast.

I have the same dawn spikes. Yes exercise works. It is hard not to bump it. We all have those problems.

Wow jonah's voice sure is dropping, man he's growing up so fast before we know it he might even be taller than you!

Somehow a fence around the pond would put my mind at ease.
You shouldn’t take your blood sugar first thing in the morning, do chores then take before you eat anything.
How long will those two be in that space? I know the bedding comes up rather high towards the end. Will you add higher panels?

On metal roofing, you always screw into the flat part , not the raised ridges.
Agreed - especially in snow country. The weight of the snow will slowly cause the screws to pull out if they’re not in the flat pan area tight to the deck.

I taught women with glucose shifts in pregnancy, and some could tolerate a more flexible diet.
How do you manage parasite load if your pigs don't get moved regularly?
I plan to get pigs on my land, but I have one big question left if anyone can help me out.
I would like to not have to buy or sell any pigs after the first set, but I’m aware of how ridiculous their breeding cycle is. As I see it, my options are separating males outside of once every now and again for a little breeding to keep them around, or just selling them.
If anyone has any ideas on how to handle this without the population getting huge, I’d love to hear it.
What is that turky diss recipe? I love the ingredients u mentioned .....mmmmm sounds so yummy
Dr Hulda Clark said in her book, "The Cure For All Diseases" that in her patients who had diabetes, 100% of them had parasites in their pancreas.
LOVE UR VIDS!!!❤
lack of sleep, extra stress, did you eat too much for dinner?
Your sugar will always spikes in the morning.
Helped my mom with her sensor alot. Her doc said to use it as a tool less then an all out guide. Take BS with regular test strips to get the most accurate reading. My guess it went a little wonky with the increase in the AM.
Read BrianMillete's comment; it hits the nail right on the head with actual medical facts.
My husband needed a weird shaped and sized wrench that would have been a special order item. So, my Handy Man made one by cutting out a piece of steel and grinding it down. It worked and he made it that day-he didn’t have to wait.
We fight the dawn phenonenon daily. You need to record physical, emotional, spiritual stress that you have from day to day. Cortisol is driven by so much. Also if sleep was affected, your circadian cycle and your sun exposure. Cortisol is a hormone just like insulin. The fact your insulin is reactive shows all hormones are reactive. I hope that helps you.
Run Forest run…….lol😂
Talk about an efficient way to keep pigs. Would it be possible to raise them 100% in a pig port?
you are luck Justin that you didn't get Alpha-gal syndrome (AGS) from the tick bite - that is an allergy to red meat from a tick - so please still be careful with the ticks including the kids and Rebecka
Attach your monitor to the back of your arm so you can’t catch it on things. When you spike on the monitor take a finger prick reading.
I dont know if anyone has told you that your Libre Freestyle won't always be accurate. There is sometimes a pretty fair distance between them and an actual blood reading, as the CGM tests your intersticial fluid, not blood. There is also sometimes a time delay.
May I make a suggestion? My husband was having the same problem with his sugar spiking first thing in the morning. Check your tooth paste, most have sugar unless your using sugar free. Just a suggestion hope it helps
Check out the comment BrianMilette wrote on here. He gives actual medical facts to the how/why on morning spike. Everyone has them.
The expected values for normal fasting blood glucose concentration are between 70 mg/dL (3.9 mmol/L) and 100 mg/dL (5.6 mmol/L). When fasting blood glucose is between 100 to 125 mg/dL (5.6 to 6.9 mmol/L)
This question is for everyone. What breed of pigs has the best feed to weight conversion ratio?
Pig port seems small for them
Also lacks proper wind shelter!
To reduce the friction between the structure body with accumulated compost one side should be little bigger than the other side. pulling side should be smaller than the end side. six inches will be enough.
Justin they make covers so you can't bump them off. I pay cash for mine and can't afford to bump them. Covers are cheap on Amazon...
That would be a good business to make and sell those
My wife has been a diabetic for 10 years and she had one of those that you put in your arm and we come to find out that it does not read accurate all the time so if it's low you ought to just take your blood sugar or regular way and it'll probably read different they're really not that reliable
Ive had type 2 diabetes since the birth of my youngest. wonder if the constant monitoring is making you stress out too much. Its good to get an idea what is causing spikes and to see how high you are going at first but if you are freaking out over it, it could cause more harm than good.
The morning wake-up spike is normal; it happens everyone, every day. Brian Milette gave some great medical facts in his comments on this video.
Had my yearly dr appointment today! A1C back in normal range since a year of carnivore!!
Can we get a tour of the farm again now that yall done more to it???
My nurse-practicioner at the VA wants my sugar to be around 100.
