Humanely dispatching, plucking, and processing farm and game animals is a skill a lot of us don't have these days. It's good to see it tactfully but honestly shown.
My family struggled keeping food on the table when I was a kid. Even as an adult my own family and I have had our hard moments. Watching you prep so much food gives me such a feeling of safety and comfort, even if it's just through a screen.
When I first started watching your channel I was happy watching a fun homestead building channel... Then a fun gardening channel, then a fun hunting/fishing channel. But the whole way through all the other projects this has always been an amazing cooking channel! I love you guys, I'm also insanely jealous of the life you have together in one of the most beautiful places on earth.
I have been culling, processing and canning chickens for 50 years. I NEVER even thought about searing the chickens first. Thank you for showing me how to try a new method. Love Y'all ❤️
“2 drumscicles” …cracked me up… the closest I have ever come to plucking a chicken is using my dad’s old fashioned lighter to singe off the residual feathers… that was in the 1950’s … we also used ball canning jars but we had to put on the rubber lip and secure the glass top with a wire contraption that was attached to the jar! Love how you are still canning your food and marveling at how far technology has also progressed the art! Arielle and Eric, you are such a breath of fresh air! Thanks for sharing!
Really enjoy your food processing or cooking videos. The fish ones too! You are both so skilled. It's great to know you have a good supply of healthy and satisfying foods to get through the winter.
I've pressure canned beef cubes and some deer cubes from my first deer I harvested, but not bone-in chicken yet, and I WISH we had moose here! It's so satisfying putting up wild and homegrown food!
it was so cool to hear that pressure cooker in the background. sometimes the unintentional artistic elements are the best, thanks for really cool video
Retired to Mexico. Make mole sauce for the canned chicken , pastor is another use for the peppers you bought too. Don’t forget about chorizo would be so delicious too. Thanks for sharing your time with us 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Great respect for you Arielle and Eric, hard work all season to feed yourselves, but you are healthier than most couples your age I am sure. Thanks for showing your extravaganza canning process. Enjoy. Bon Appétit.
You’re making me recall back almost 80 years ago with my older siblings and me helping my mom catch, dispatch, scald & pluck feathers off chickens!!Then after we did the plucking, she’d hold them over an open flame & rotate them to singe off anything left on the skin. And there were always a few pesky ‘pin feathers’ that had to be pulled out ! 🐓
The other day I decided to fry up 9 lbs of ground venison and ground beef, to both make some freezer meals, and to have some already fried burger meat, for days I want to fix a quick meal, saving the defrost and fry time steps, that would make me often decide to fix something else, instead! I highly recommend families try at least frying up a bunch of burger meat, as meal prep. I also like to cook a lot of chicken breast in my pressure cooker, shred it, and freeze it in pkgs, ready to use in quick meal preps!
Yay! Canning is my favorite! I admire you for taking advise of others over the years and apply what you have learned. In fact, you both have learned so much about how-to's on every project you have undertaken. I remember all of the little tidbits of info from past years! Well, at least the ones you share on these videos! Great fun today. Thanks!
You might want to put a damp dish towel under your cutting board so it won't slide when you're breaking down meat. It makes a huge difference in the control you have over the knife when the board doesn't slide. Love the channel!
Wow, the canning is amazing; great teamwork brings on wholesome meals! Thanks for bringing us along & teaching. I was raised on a farm & chicken processing day was lengthy but mom did all the canning. Blessings to all 🤗🇨🇦🌻
Teach Erick how to put a canning lid on using the magnet!! Never touch under the lid. I don't care how clean your fingers are. Lift, on, & touch the top with your finger. Done. It all looks amazing 👏 ❤❤❤❤❤
My husband and I watch y'all together! Love everything you do. When we were watching, I said hey, their lid is on crooked, that's definitely not gonna work. Lol, It wasn't your seal, the lid was crooked! Wish I could have told you! Hope you have a very blessed Thanksgiving! ♥️
They’re cannibals for sure. My cockatiel used to climb down my arm when I was frying chicken and he would get very vocally upset if he didn’t get some crispies.
I'm always in awe when you process your meat and broth. For me its both interesting ( yes i also did process chickens the old fashion way😅) and relaxing. Have a great week. Blessings to you both. 😊🇺🇲
Always excited to catch a new video. What I like about your channel is you share a variety of different stuff and the scenery you share is breath taking... Thanks so much for sharing your lives with us and your beautiful state.
Sure miss your dogs!! They were fun to see over the last few years on your homesteads and trips around Oregon and Alaska. I wish y'all would get a couple of more dogs possibly the same breeds. They would give you company wherever you go. I love dogs and their interaction with their owners.
Sorry but I need longer videos!!! 😇I love watching you two work together it is so fascinating to see how you come up with new recipes. Great work 94 jars wow!! Wishing you both a "Happy Thanksgiving" Greetings from Boston 🦃🦃
Love it when you can! Brings back a lot of happy memories. Sitting on the always cool back porch with dad and uncle Elvin peeling peaches, pears, apples, pitting cherries. Snapping beans, hulling dry beans, corn, tomatoes, beets. Making pickles. For me, my very favorite was picking the ground cherries. (you grew them one year at the old place) Mom made preserves out of them... Oh so good on toast with homemade bread and butter! YUM! Thanks for the memories! ❤❤Lori from Oregon
Pozdrav svima, ja vas pratim skoro od samog pocetka i iskreno mi se vasi seriali jako dopadaju, odlicno to radite na nacin o kojem ja isti mastam.Lijep pozdrav iz Bosne i Hercegovine.
Hello Eric and Airel from North Carolina, tks for video. This is how we process chicken when I was a child...we still had outhouses then 2....lol...Really enjoyed all your canning these meats....much love to ya'll.....
Guys you almost made a Mexican Chile Colorado! The tiny chiles are probably Árbol - hot, hot, hot! The earthy ones are my favorite. If you use nothing but those they make a thick sauce and aren’t as hot. Those Anchos are special for Mexican mole. We will enjoy watching you eat in winter! Thanks for filling us in on work in Alaska!
We only use 1 arbol chili in most recipes, very hot & becomes uncomfortable for us if too hot. We love spicy, hot food too. Before we ever used them we tasted a very small piece of a dry arbol & our lips & tongue burned for 5 hours. We realized one would be plenty for us. Sauce looks delicious. Just canned Cowboy Candy yesterday for neighbor holiday gifts! Thank you for your adventures in the cold! We are relaxing in 82 degree sunshine! Aloha.
@@franklindumas1978 I was honestly shocked they used all those chilies in that sauce. All chillies must be respected! To ruin a freshly made sauce would make a person want to cry.
Another great video that’s a lot of food will feed you guys all winter it looks so pretty in those jars that’s a lot of hard work. Thank you for sharing.❤
Successful canning. I guess you guys are keeping the shop above freezing all winter long. I’ll be looking forward to seeing how you’re going to manage that. Great food saving, guys!! Your solar panels are steep enough that the snow just slide off in one chunk. I’m glad you didn’t get hit by the icy block of snow, Eric. Thanks for sharing the video.
Great video as always! Garage stove defiantly was a grand idea this video shows that helping with the canning. Coal verses wood hope that working out for the good. Looking forward to the next video.
Wow, fantastic work guys! That's a lot of great food processed that will feed you over the winter and into the coming year. That will also free up space in your freezer. Seriously, great job.
Always interesting and informative, and usually fantastic views, drone footage, and animal. Interaction. Your chickens live the good life til their last minute and I admire that. Forever fan here, from start to finish. Hug
Wow, now I'm hungry for chicken! I remember in the old cabin, the grinder you guys had that attached to the edge of the kitchen table. The one you have now is a beast!😂
One of your best,!! Loved every minute of it, I to can evrything, Turkey is on sale right now, .59 cent a pound, have 10 to can. 121 pound. hope to get 12 cases of my 24 oz, Atlas Mason jars canned. I add bacon pcs to some and to my chicken also, Love you guys, God Bless.
Hey there I have done alot of meat canning now !!! Glad you are doing it this way also !!! I have even chopped up potatoes & Carrots with a pint jar for canning with the meat it turns out like stew meat then !!! Just raw can it !!! Also have done the oven canning with raw meat turkey chicken beef !!! Put into jars cold lid screw on rings put into pan incase 1 breaks !!! Into the cold oven for 3 hours at 250 degrees it works great heats the kitchen on up good also !!!

Thank you for being a part of it all over the years 🤎
The word is envy. And there age .
I love that you show us just enough and hide for things that aren't necessary to show.
We very much appreciate the date, temperature, sunrise, and sunset information at the beginning. Thank you!! Stay safe.
I have been culling, processing and canning chickens for 50 years. I NEVER even thought about searing the chickens first. Thank you for showing me how to try a new method. Love Y'all ❤️
I know right?! Me either but I bet the flavour is next level!
All chicken is great to me but frying and roasting is the next level! Yum!😊
