Ha!! Never knew you could harvest pollen and use it like flour!! I'm amazed!!
If you have access, I encourage you to try it!
What a beautiful story and life style. I'm old now and when I look back I wish I would have done it this way. I never did find the right partner to help make it real. I really enjoyed this. Thank you.
Susan Hamilton I have a awesome husband and we did live a lot of great adventures but we are older now also and he has Parkinson’s, so our adventures are less daring, but I believe there are many more adventures in our future journey. I’m on the look out for them! :)
Just so you know, I have never found the right partner, but I'm doing it by myself with my two kiddos! I'm a 29 year old woman and I'm following my soul
@@beengarden5122 me too, doing it all alone. Sod the partner, I won't stop my dreams because I don't have one.
Susan Hamilton: I’m planning this for more then a year but God knows how will it end…
Thanks Susan your comment is very inspiring
This is what all people should ask themselves. Can I survive without anyones help for at least 6 months. Remember not to take too much the pollen is there for a reason Just like commercial bee keepers taking all the honey from bees and then feeding the sugar water as a substitute for the healthy stuff. Taking too much will not allow it to reproduce and then you will have less plants in following years or less pollen producing plants.
jkprops too much? They have a whole field lol
I was thinking this as I watched the harvest, and I believe the same way, when you only take half as much, it tells the plant to make more next time. Great advice!
I wish my husband and I were younger and starting out. Over this past summer I've discovered a love for nature for homesteading for providing a sustainable future for my family. I live in a small coal mining community so I don't have a lot of room. I do have a garden 4 chickens and have taught myself to can. Thank you for your inspiration!
Did the presence of the coal mining industry in your town draw you into wanting a to be in charge of your own sustainable future? ive been learning about it in school and im just wondering what the perception of those companies is for someone who knows about sustainable living
@@MyCrazyfull I don't really have an answer for you. I know I should be concerned about the coal mining but as it's the way the majority of my state makes a living I can't be too harsh on coal mining. My biggest concern is my husband is in construction. And as construction is a seasonal occupation we struggle during the winter. We play so much time catching up during the summer that there's nothing left for saving. My goal is to be able to to provide for my family during the winter without spending money on groceries then other bills and such would be able to be taken care of. I don't suppose this makes much sense.
@@urbanhomesteadingchannel1813 Good for you. My next move will be to a lot in town and challenge myself to grow as much food as possible on a city lot! It is the way of the future for most people.

kristeva
What an inspirational life and what wonderful way to live life. Thank you guys
Really nice lifestyle! Have lived this way my whole life and still do! Thank you for sharing.
Hello Buck,
Yes, for those of you lucky enough to have done it your whole life then this is nothing new! But for me, it has been quite challenging but rewarding.
cheers,
Kristeva
Wouldn’t give up homesteading for anything.... love it!
You know if worms attack your radishes plant onions with them it keeps the white flies out
I love the Appaloosa in this. Made me genuinely happy to see hear about their story and see this. Wonderful!
I love her too!
cheers,
Kristeva
A few great wild foods of the boreal forest.. raspberries, blueberries, mushrooms, chaga for tea, moose, grouse, deer, rabbit, fish, dandelion
Today was my first visit with you and I was delighted. I also learned a lot of new ideas to try in my own life. Thanks. Mobile, Alabama USA
You made it so inviting that makes me want to live the kind of life you're living.
It’s beautiful where you are. My husband and I just bought 21 acres out in New Brunswick. We want to build and start a homestead. We want that lifestyle that you and your husband are living
Hello Kimmie,
Good luck to you and your hubby. I have a book you may want to read: www.amazon.ca/Chicken-Poop-Soul-Search-Sovereignty/dp/1894759605
It's about my journey from city-girl to sustainable farmer (and learning to hunt, butcher animals, can foods, make cheese, and much more). I also have an instagram page @Dirtybearranch. And a UA-cam channel is in the plans.
cheers,
Kristeva
Are you going to start filming videos? Good luck!
No I won’t be filming it. Just wanted to thank you for the cattail pollen tip. I’m going to try to collect some next year
What a beautiful peaceful homestead!
We’ve just started our journey and love it!!
Beautiful. Thanks for sharing this. She's so right about society.
Kristeva AMAZING use of land excellent job guys Watching this gives me bundles of motivation
Hello Christian,
Thank you. Glad to be motivational!
Good luck with your ventures.
Kristeva
Wild Foraging... her eggs from the neighbors henhouse, rhubarb from the neighbors garden, and her pollen..?
Truly wild. I myself partake in similar foraging, wild eggs from the Easter bunny, wild carrots from the farmers truck, wild donuts from the wild bakers dumpster
Really enjoyed the relaxing video. I have cattails on my pond....I'm gonna try that! Lol
They are so good! And, they work well with Amy's Gluten-free pancake mix too. Just sub-out some of the mix for pollen. Enjoy.
Trying to make this a reality for myself and my partner - I'm so excited to replicate the lifestyle you've shown here. Back to the roots. Back to nature.
Hello Katie,
Then you may enjoy my book also: www.amazon.ca/Chicken-Poop-Soul-Search-Sovereignty/dp/1894759605
Good luck x
Just found your channel, subscribed, and loved it! Blessings from the Beautiful hills of East Tennessee!
We started this kind of lifestyle 12 years ago, on a 5 acre block. We were borrowing from the broader, natural landscape for the connectivity though. Then more blocks got sold, more neighbours moved in with their domestic dogs, started building dirt tracks for their motorbikes and dirt buggies. Goodbye paradise. Our 12 years of hard work, to invite the broader landscape into a tiny block (in comparison) ended this year, when we had to start fencing. Neighbours were using our land for their adventures (causing erosion) and their dogs were always in conflict with our chickens. It was a very sad day, to realise our connection with nature had become rural-suburbia.
While this lifestyle is completely possible, and I enjoyed watching this video and commentary on community involvement - you really do need the right kind of community, doing similar things. That's why rubarb and eggs were available, from neighbours. Because they lived that kind of lifestyle too. It's great to see that, but be warned, it can change in a lifetime too. Rather drastically.
Hey Chris,
You are absolutely correct. We do need community to manage this. And, we are lucky enough to be in an area where the majority of folks are interested in keeping this kind of lifestyle alive.
I gotta say...your videography quality is on point! Refreshing to see that! Thank you! We started homesteading in New Hampshire in 2017. Subscribing for sure!
Love to hear about your experiences. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing.
You may wish to read my book: www.amazon.ca/Chicken-Poop-Soul-Search-Sovereignty/dp/1894759605
It's all about my journey from city-girl to sustainable farmer and the struggles and milestones along the way.
so inspiring, this couple. my dream!
Very lovely space! You’ve done a fantastic amount of work in a few short years, look heavenly. I’ve been thinking about ways to consume cattails for a few years now.You’ve given me some incentive to go harvest pollen. 😊
Thank you Shelly,
I'd love to hear what you end up doing with the pollen! I've made pancakes, shortbread, pasta, and ice cream with it. All wonderful uses for it.
cheers,
Kristeva
I wish I could do this so bad, I’m saving my money. I just wish I was with someone who shared my same views as me
me too . .
You can just do it your way.
Keep at it, work hard chase your dreams, vibrate at a high frequency and you will meet find some one onthaw same frequency.
It's a whole lot of hard work and dedication.

I agree with that small clan society view
WOW!! I think I just watched a video about heaven on earth. Such wonderful people, living a wonderful life!!
Hey Red,
Well you should see it in January when it's -40 and we are under 4 feet (or more of snow) ... Not always heaven on earth but certainly a labour of love.
cheers,
Kristeva
Very nice, I am looking forward to buy my own piece of land. Thanks for sharing.
Go for it! And let us know when you do!!!
cheers,
Kristeva
Love the colors
i love the way you think, it's truly beautiful..............sister from another mister
i'm a city mouse dreaming of big skies and lush forest. i agree with you, living in nature IS our nature. can't wait to get back to my roots. thanks for reminding me xo
Hello Sarah,
What a lovely thing to say! Thank you and I do hope you find your way back.
cheers,
Kristeva
Wow! Awesome video!!
As a child foraging for things in nature were a lot of fun, have you ever eaten cat tail root, it tastes a lot like asparagus.
I agree!
WHAT??? THIS IS HEAVEN!!!
Well, not always. We do get a looooong winter up here!
cheers,
Kristeva
@dirtybearranch
Please do more wonderful videos
Lovely episode, thank you
Very interesting set ofvideos to follow. I think a lot of us, after we've worn out enough years of adventuring on the road, have homesteading in the back of our mind. This may indeed be our next "phase" after filming a few more years of our travels.
Many thanks! It is really inspiring!
Thank you for sharing your experience...your narrative and voice calms me down...I will live the same lifestyle soon...
Beautiful, awesome job you'all did!
Love the story, makes me excited to start our journey!
I’ve heard you can eat other parts of cattails too, like the roots. Always wanted to try. Amazing couple!
Not sure of roots, but the base can be eaten above the roots. It's the white part that's edible and need to get it at right time for it to be tender.
Miss GP not the city but the beautiful open lands 🇨🇦 back in the UK now but I'll return one day
There's a lot of parts of a cattale that's edible if I rember correctly you can eat the roots and inerstems too
Beautiful area! Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful
Thank you for sharing their story this is awesome
Loving this series! Keep them coming please.
Very smart people good on ya
Wow what a place its paradise
Wait for the next video to come out that includes the winter scenes. You may not think so after you see that one! lol
cheers,
Kristeva
A beautiful life ❤️❤️❤️
wonderful man
loved the video....
Wise words ;)
this is great, really enjoyed it
Great video. We will share this with our customers for sure :) We sell land in rural areas and this will help generate some great ideas. Thanks for creating this!
Would you share your recipes? I've never heard of using cattail pollen in cooking, and would love to experience this!
Perfect life
Well you might not think so when the winter show comes out! Stay tuned on Telus for that one.
cheers,
Kristeva
Amazing!
Love it, such a great lifestyle
I'm looking @ more of your videos about harvesting cattail pollen. I want to know more about how you do the process from when you know to harvest to cooking.
Great video, thanks.
OMG, that rhubarb!! that is the biggest I've ever seen.
That’s what I just came to post!
Wow! You've got that correct!
thats what she said
Way to go. You did it. Living the dream.
HI Kathie,
It is a labour of love for sure!
cheers,
Kristeva
Love it!!!!!
These videos are amazing! Why aren't there more HomeMade videos???
There will be another one out soon about our little place. Not sure when it will be ready but it was filmed this winter and summer!
Kristeva
@@stolenharvest5283 Thank you! I can't wait to see it!
I hope ppl start to see beyond the need for “humanity”, into the even more important aspect of responsibility for self and how that translates into respect for others and that then culminates into a functional community where acts of humanity are effective ways of helping others, not enabling them to be dependent on other’s handouts
Wonderful. I'm curious if taking last year's pollen had an impact on this year's low pollen yield? Maybe you reseed every year?
There is no need. When you harvest the pollen, you are actually helping to fertilize the cattails. So they increase in number every year. I planted about 20 two years before this video was taken. They are increasing in number by hundreds every year. They are wind polinated.
what a great homesteading story ^_^ very inspiring... keep it up,, we are also doing homesteading ^_^
So jealous! I would pay $20.00 to try a cattail pancake 🥞 😔 😋
That is amazing. How did you find this property? I am looking for one now.
Have yall watched permaculture video's. Of how to grow a organic garden without having to weeding its called a no dig garning very helpful u should watch some.
Yes. I have my certificate in Permacultural Design ... hence my "No weeding" messy gardens!
Kristeva
Wow, I have never seen rhubarb that big! Impressive!
Wish you could taste the mead I made it into! It was really flavourful.
Wow, so to make the cattail pancakes you only use the pollen and buttermilk? No baking powder, baking soda or salt and it still comes out great?
My fiance and I are in a debate about the pond. Will you please explain how you dug the pond? We want to homestead but we are not seeing eye to eye on the pond. Thanks!
That rhubarb was huge!
It really was! And it made me an award winning mead.
cheers,
Kristeva
your man looks so happy
👍🇨🇦😃
Nice message
Thank you 👍
Hello D'arcy,
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
cheers,
Kristeva
10 Acres how wonderful. Looking forward to what you guys produce x We live in England. Producing your own food must be fantastic. Do you preserve any food in Jars? So you guys do not have Animals on your land? You live off of it. Do you guys work from Home? Changing ones life is fantastic livkng the Dream but ine has to pay Bills x if you do not mind me asking what did you guys pay for the land? X
Hello
I saved my butt off and bought the land with cash (we are fairly remote and thus it was not outragesouly priced). Started in a tent and payed for everything as we went along. We build it ourselves with help from a carpenter that we hired to help and a few others along the way. I do preserve things in jars. You may enjoy my book which details my learning journey from city-girl (born and raised in Vancouver) to sustainable farmer and, yes, hunter!

Jealous this is what we want as well ...TURE SERENITY 💕
A fair size green house would be nice.
Hello Roger,
Yes, it would be nice! It is on the Wish-List for sure. So many things to do and so litle time and money to do it with. All in good time.
Kristeva
I would be really happy if someone could explain the financial side of such a life style. Do you live just by eating pollens? Some homesteaders talk about their Costco hauls. But where does the money come from?
I have started my own organic garden now as well. I don't like all these pesticides etc either, shop bought produce isn't great these days...you just don't know what you are eating. Also fruit is picked far too green has no flavour.
You are definitely right about that! Good luck with your gardening journey.
cheers,
Kristeva
What I don't understand is where these homestead people get startup money and maintain this lifestyle. Land costs money, equipment to cut down the trees costs money, taxes cost money, healthcare costs money, I could go on and on. It seems that a lot of homesteaders are already wealthy and they make this lifestyle seem home grown instead of externally funded.
That's a good question Carlos. To start off the land in this video was rural and needed them to work it. It was most likely cheap with low taxes. Secondly there are many ways to live this way without being rich. Personally i drive truck, i have a class A CDL. It allowed me to save to buy land. I drive a local seasonal job in the winter now, when my tiny farm requires less daily attention. I make more than enough money between the two. I could survive and pay my taxes without the truck job, however i like to save more money. To sum this up, all you need is hard work and creativity. You can find a way to live the life you want.
@@justinm9892 Justin, thank you for your response. Your way of affording this lifestyle is realistic. I'm at a stage in my life where I'm working a proffesional job to be able to afford this lifestyle in the future. Maybe I'm wrong and can actually afford this type of lifestyle now while I'm young and healthy. Thank you.
Hello Carlos,
This land is rural, and in a not too desireable area per se. So, it did not cost an arm and a leg. Also, as I stated in the video, we started in a tent and we pay as we go. So, yes, chainsaw cost money. But the tent and the saw got us started for very little money. We hold jobs. I am self employed and do not make a lot of money but I have a high degree of flexibility. So we cook our own food, make our own wine, make our own sausages, etc.
We do not aspire to the modern day high cost "instant" lifestyle. We do not pay lots for interest on debt etc. We live within our means. We drive very old vehicles that are paid for. We buy used clothes. And save money whereever we can.
The true meaning of homesteading as we know it is no longer achievable. Taxes, insurance, healthcare, etc renders it so.
Cheers,
Kristeva
@@carlosmendez1884 Yes... do it while you are young and healthy. Look at ways to cut your lifestyle costs. That's how I've managed. Pay as you go and avoide debt at all costs! You will save yourself thousands of dollars by doing that. Good luck!
Love your video......Subscribed :)
תודה איזה יופי של חיים. המון אהבה
Very nice
You should include your subjects' UA-cam channels in the description
My sentiments exactly!
I love how you have your herbs/season stored. What are you using? Would love to duplicate.
Hi Cally,
Little pint mason style jars.
Wow ! I didn't know you can eat pollen very interesting
Do you mix with white flour? Or do you use just cat tail pollin as a flour
Hey all! We just bought some property and are finally able to start our homesteading journey. Head on over and join us and follow along on this ride!! Episode 1 is now up!
ua-cam.com/video/7BqTk1eFlro/v-deo.html
That is heaven, at least during summer😏
Have you considered to what extent gathering the pollen which is central to regenerating the cat-tails may or may not interfere or slow down that regeneration? For example, when foraging for edible fungi, you must leave enough of those fungal fruiting bodies to allow the underground mycelial mass to continue to be strong and healthy and expansive. What mechanisms in the cattail depend on sufficient pollen and are there guidelines for gathering it?
Hello Harely,
I do consider all those things you mention. And, consider that whenever collecting anything from the wild. Always leave behind enough for reproduction and the bees to feed on etc. The pollen is what fertilizes the cattail. And, when you collect you are actually helping (to some extent) to fertilize the plant in the same way that wind would. You cannot actually (or I certainly don't) harvest in such a way that is so efficient that there is none left for reproduction.
cheers,
Kristeva
Take it from a real chef....pale 1st pancake = pan not to temp. Try pouring a tester silver dollar cake first to check pan temp and a taste 🤤. You guys are rad.
I love this idea, but how do people bring in income? These mini docs are awesome and so inspiring, but they never cover where the individuals have money coming in from. They had two vehicles. How do they pay for gas? Do they still work? If so, what kind of job affords them the time to forage from the land? I would LOVE to do this, but I couldn’t start without large enough savings to purchase the land and materials, or cash flow to maintain the lifestyle. So, how does this couple do it?
This was one mad episode I watched
I loved it
Lucky I came across this
I love this stuff
Keep it coming
I wish my misses agreed with me to go do this
Or at least she had the will to do it
But nope
She thinks kids education is more important
To make them modern slaves 😔
It's a sad reality we all live in. I'm 19 and I'm making it my purpose to live a life such these folks and others. Hopefully one day your family will be interested on the lifestyle as you are🙏🏿
@@jevaunhaughton5440 thanks for your kind words
I'm hoping but it looks like it won't happen any time soon
It's hard to get people out of their comfort zones once they are used to it
Best of luck to you
Live your life to the fullest
Giving your kids access to education helps give them choices and if/when they tire of the urban consumerism they can generate income to move towards a different lifestyle. When kids get to teen years and beyond it's your time to make choices too. Good luck man and keep positive.
Is it possible that this year's supply of pollen is dwindled because last year you took the majority of the pollen? So there wasn't enough to re-polinate this year's crop? I'm not a gardener by any means. I'm just asking.
Good stuff
