Hound Dog Homesteading
Добавлен 23 ноя 2019
This channel is a mixture of videos about homesteading, primitive skills/survival, and music. I've been interested in those topics for at least half of my life and enjoy teaching others along with sharing my experience.
I've attended multiple survival schools across the country and had the chance to practice those skills during multiple trips in various parts of the world and country during my stint in the Navy. 🔱 🐸
Since 2002, I've spent the majority of my free time and weekends in some sort of off-grid cabin, canvas tent, or primitive camp site.

Return Of The Bell Tent
I moved into a second bell tent after spending the last few years in the off-grid shanty. I tried to arrange the bed, table, etc. according to the old tent since that system worked well.

Shademobile, Small Herd Rotational Grazing, And Visiting The Old Cows
Просмотров 1295 месяцев назад
We made a Shademobile based on the plans in Joel Salatin's "Polyface Designs" book. We scaled it down quite a bit smaller than the design in the book since we have a much smaller herd than the original design is made for. I show how we implement rotational grazing with a small herd of 7 cows and introduce our newest steer, Bugsy. #homesteading #pastured

Here's an old video from 2017 of Pennsylvania Mike and I's version of the old folk song at the old homestead I used to own. It's one of the more difficult songs for me to play and so I messed it up a few times but it's still a fun song. #banjo #bluegrass #folkmusic
Cows: The Hillbilly Lawnmower
Просмотров 4298 месяцев назад
Mowing and weedeating around farm buildings tends to be the least of one's concerns when focused on practicality and function rather than aesthetics. Fortunately, there's a way to compromise by using a technique that's centuries old. #offgrid #homesteading
Turning Woods Into Silvopasture Using Hay

Last fall, we began feeding hay to the cows in sections of the woods that decades ago were once pasture fields in order to re-establish seed growth. #homesteading #offgrid
Self-Reliance With A Woodchipper
Просмотров 59810 месяцев назад
When farming/homesteading, sometimes the decision needs to be made whether to continue doing the work by hand or investing in machinery. I have wanted to apply the Paul Gautschi method of using woodchips in my orchard and other areas of the farm detailed in his documentary and book, “Back to Eden” but there is a waiting list for woodchips from tree trimmers. I also spend a lot of time cutting, ...

The Meek Shall Inherit The Earth And Can Choose To Farm Forever?
Просмотров 38 тыс.11 месяцев назад
"The meek shall inherit the earth" is a passage routinely spiritualized and mostly taught through a Ned Flanders-type of lens rather than it's actual meaning of what happens after Christ returns. #homesteading #offgrid #regenerativefarming

Yeah those “reality” shows are so dumb. Living off your land is simple and part of homesteading. It’s not easy by any means but those of us that get it find it very enjoyable. These kind of videos is why RUclips is the only social media I digest. Thanks for sharing.
Absolutely. Thank you.
Bugsy is terrific! 👍 🐂
Yep I use it for everything.
This looks like Black Locust. Do you have Honey Locust on your place?
@@RobertForest-be4bz I've only ever seen the black locust, though I've seen honey locust on farms a few miles away.
Locust post are gonna be 3x stronger than the PT 6x6 due to all thr knots and grain runout in the fast growing pine. It best practice to peel the logs, not mandatory but it stops that punky layer from forming. Wouldnt be a bad idea to put them on the sawmill and cut at least 2 square faces as a face to reference the layout lines and another to make joining your braces easier. Best regards
@kurtsmith4657 Thank you. It seems like a status thing lately where folks thumb their noses at locust but I agree with you that they're 3x stronger. I've peeled the bark for years till I went to Joel Salatin's farm back in July. They left the bark on theirs and so that's why I've been doing that lately instead of peeling.
If you've ever been stuck with a locust thorn you know how the small wound will fester up from the toxins. I can tell you from experience from using boards cut from locust for doing woodworking projects that the dust generated from cutting and especially sanding will do the same to the tissue inside your lungs if you breathe it. Be smart and wear a good dust mask when working with wood, especially locust.
@@glenndent6626 Thanks for the heads-up for those reading the comments. I've fortunately never been stuck too bad with the thorns. Good call on limiting exposure to the dust.
That's not a beam, it's a "POST"😢
Yeah, I interchange terminology quite a bit haha.
Hardwood of the future. People complain about splitting it for firewood, but I'm cutting 8" trees and skipping splitting. This has taken my firewood processing to 2 weekends a year. Also makes amazing lumber! About the only negative is that it's classified as invasive in a lot of the northeast
That's awesome. It burns hotter and lasts through the night better than any hardwood that I've burnt, too. I haven't had as much luck with the individual lumber since a lot of the trees on my property have been hammered by the carpenter ants, though I've been able to get a few boards but mostly posts and firewood.
much better of in all ways
Definitely. It still amazes me how many folks I talk to that are building pole buildings still insist on pressure treated, though. I honestly think most of them are too lazy to go cut the locust haha.
Timber nearby is a tremendous Blessing! Love to see that Saw 🪚 Mill running one day in a Video.
It's a blessing, for sure. I have a few videos running the sawmill, though I haven't filmed it in a while. Do you have a mill?
Nice to have an abundance of quality Firewood there! 🪵 🪓
Thanks! I've had a few winters where it was a lean supply and so an abundance in the winter is worth more than gold.
I have a canvas 14 / 14 / 3 and I got a witch barrel just like yours and I'll tell you it gets hot but if you want it hotter and the cold days take some transmotor oil use motor oil put in there on the wood and lighter up and all you'll see the difference it gets hot trust me and it'll keep you warm but she's toasty warming a tat when you use that stuff
I have a wood burning barrel
This instrumental is the definition of peaceful, great job 👏
@@Jonah_Foxstone Thank you. I appreciate it.
Beautiful
Thank you
Awesome job! Love the content
Thanks!
Lovely 🤩
:)
Thanks Ben. Will never forget the actions and sacrifice that you and your brothers made that day. Words can't describe it.
You can use used motor oil, wax or a bar of soap to lube up the nails or screws before you drive them in. I've found that was useful to keep them from bending or breaking.
Hey. Thank you for this comment, you don't understand how many hours of frustration you saved me.
Thank you for sharing God's word Brother. I've read it 3 times plus lots of other study as well. Fridges come with an owner's manual. Our owner's manual is the Bible. God Heaven and Hell and the Resurrection are all real! My mom had two NDEs. She got up to the gates of Heaven. She wanted to stay in Heaven but was sent back to finish her journey here. The Bible is Truth. The Rapture will be happening soon. The tribulation will be soon. Now is the time for others to find Jesus and make him the Lord of their lives!
There are no part human, part apes...God made everything as is. I don't believe in evolution. In fact, if anything, it looks like we're devolving.
I love that thought....even in its beauty, this is a fallen world. Wow!
Church of God here, new providence PA!
Right on!
So as Platonism like Nosticism(sp?) Interesting. There's nothing new under the sun.
There are a lot of overlaps between Platonism and Gnosticism that have unfortunately crept into the Christian church over the past 2,000 years.
Awesome !!!!
Thanks!
Great pickin 🙂
Thank you.
Would love to see an update after you unroll bales out there!! I have some steep property I’d like to at least to make usable for my sheep. If i can get rid of all the buckeye I’d love to roll out hay and see what happens. The ground probably needs a lot of potassium and phosphorus where I’m at
That's a good idea.
I don't have any buckeye on the property. Are they harmful to sheep?
@@hounddoghomesteading extremely toxic. It’s a terrible plant. And from what I’ve seen it grows in like layers. New plants right underneath the taller stuff. Loves shade.
@@quailjailss That's good to know. Thank you.
My cousin uses goats with dog shock collars and under ground fencing on his property. Land mines are lot smaller. Same-ish concept
That's pretty cool. If they made shock collars for cows, that'd be alot easier than the fence.
Thank you for your video. I have some think woods on my property that I want to thin out! Appreciate your videos also with God's word!
Thank you. It's pretty cool to see how just removing a few trees really opens things up for grass to grow while still keeping it a forest.
Yes that is true. Also helps the deer get through the woods to my bird feeder!😊
Awesome job! Im doing the same thing on a smaller scale, with a ECHO 3inch wood chipper. I started chipping up pine cones, they make such great mulch for my blueberries.
Thanks! I've never had much luck with blueberries. Does pine mulch work better than deciduous?
@@hounddoghomesteading they say pine mulch will up your acidity level of your soil. Blueberries like slightly acidic pH. So far so good for me, I use pine needles also.
Aren't you afraid of blackberry briars growing up? They are horrible here when you clear the woods.
This model seems to break alot of shear bolts. Another channel has the same model, and he is breaking shear bolts constantly.
I've been tweaking a few things here and there to try to stop the bolts from shearing. I recently ran it for several hours without breaking any bolts and I think by adjusting the eye bolts and not shredding thick hardwoods, it seems to do well.
**Update** I've been using shorter shear bolts than what was provided and I haven't broken one since, as long as I don't chip hardwood thicker than 6". Medium and softwoods can go the full 8" no problem.
Seeing the same problem, some say a slip clutch helps.
I need to get my banjo out again❤
I need one of those. Thanks for this. Around here, even at farm shows, you only see the stand alone chippers. Operating off the PTO looks so much more substantial.
They are definitely handy and save a lot of time in dealing with brush. Even better, they're a lot of fun haha.
Oh man thats Awesome! . So useful. Such a great tool for building back up your soil. Im kinda blown away at the size of logs it can chew up. Haha , I would feel the same like a kid with a big pile of chips. Keep up the good work Brother. Always an honor to see what you are working on
Thanks, brother. I appreciate it. You should run it next time you're in town. It's a blast.
Can’t wait for mine to come in! New subscriber, hope to see more of the 810
Thanks! There are a few bugs I'm still working out (shear bolts, eye bolt adjustment to allow bigger circumference logs, etc) but overall, it's a good machine. You'll not want to stop chipping when yours arrives, it's so much fun haha.
He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread: but he that followeth after vain persons shall have poverty enough. Proverbs 28:19
I imagine it tastes like how it smells?
Yep. I tell folks it tastes just like Christmas haha.
What books would you recommend for someone interested in preserving food, farming, homesteading in general, etc.?
Readers Digest "Back to Basics" and the Foxfire series. Those are some of the basic forerunners of the modern homestead movement. From there, I'd go to a library or bookstore and browse the selections. As with field guides, some books have great photos but the descriptions are vague while others have great descriptions but the photos/drawings aren't the best. I recommend to folks to pick the books that align the best to the way they learn (some folks are visual learners, etc.)
Thank you for the response.
tumaric stops muscle pain, make egg sandwich with that and hot sauce/powder. I do this all for many years, it destroys cancer tumors too.
Good to know. Thank you.
True. I take turmeric everyday to reduce inflammation throughout the body. God bless
Thank you for your wonderful teaching in how knowing all of what God says in our entire Bible ties together to reveal His purposes to us as His Children through Christ Jesus! The Greek concordance shares from Matthew 5:5... inherit the earth is literally meaning how we understand inheritance and earth is as soil, a region of the terrene globe, land, earth as soil of the world! May others join me in praying for your injury areas to be regenerately healed, fine Godly man of your home in Jesus' Name for God's Glory!
Thank you.
My mama wanted the song from Handel's _Messiah,_ "I Know that My Redeemer Liveth", from _Job,_ to be played at her funeral. But so many things happened. Her body was abused. I had to get a picture of her enlarged (by Xerox copier) and in a frame to have a recognizable image of her there. I could not find any help to get the song transferred from my LP to a cassette, so I could play it through my boom box. Even if I had, they were paying the same funeral home that smirked over the condition of her body. to play their loud, sentimental playlist, so I dont know whether it could have even been heard if I'd had something to play. I couldnt face that smirk, again, to ask them to cooperate with me playing the song, so I play it online every so often. The version by Kiri te Kanawa is a good one, but I also like Gladys Knight's version, which seems less influenced by classical music's proud _diva_ culture. A really beautiful, wonderful, _humbler,_ toned-down, modern version is on _Young Messiah,_ by The New London Chorale. You'd think I could have pulled that off, just playing some music, but I couldn't. But I'm very grateful that this is what she wanted to say, as her last message to the world, including to the people at her funeral.
Sorry to hear that.
@@hounddoghomesteading Thank you for enduring me telling it, though. You know, I went and fiound some recordings of that, and played them. In addition to the ones I mentioned, there was another classical version, I can't think of the name, but it was beautuful, and not too proud and "diva culture", so I think she may have been a real believer. I can get the name, but not at the same time as I write this on the same app. But I played the New London Chorale one over and over.. I want to get a Facebook post together for Easter, with that and some other wonderful hymns, whether anyone else listens or not, but I do want it to speak to other people. I actually felt kind of bad that I posted that in your video, but I also felt a lot better because I did share it. So the more I listened to it, the more I realized how great it was to remember that she wanted it as her last message to her people, and whoever else in the world would happen to know. She had a lot of confusion about salvation, but here she was openly putting all her hopes on Jesus, and I think it speaks very hopefiully of her salvation. I sometimes worry about her, but I usually tell myself that God loved her and wanted her saved more than I did. But I just felt so much hope for her last night. So I hope it wasn't too morbid for you, but at least the result was good, at least for me. Of course, I don't mean it's okay if it was not good for your page, and you can delete all this if you want to. I appreciate the concern, deeply. A lot of times, if we have serious trouble inour lives, the so-called "Christian lifestyle" doesn't match up with a Biblically Christian way of life, and we are expected not to bother others with our sorrows. So just sharing that was good forvl me, and I hope not too troubling or gross for you. But I can understand if you just don't think it belongs here, and you want to delete it, or want me to. Again, thank you, and I'm also kind of sorry.
The other, "non-diva" classical one I discovered last night: Lynne Dawson, soprano
Only, I don't think the meek are inheriting the earth, yet. I don't think the "meek" are even in Bill Gates' will! That will have to be a little later.
Upon Christ's return is when "the meek shall inherit the earth".
@@hounddoghomesteading Hopefully, not too long from now! Seems like it.
Rev 21:2 And I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
Good teaching brother. Rightly dividing straight from the King James Version. *edit... Just subscribed, hoping you've got more Christian content to come.
Thanks! I plan on doing some more.
An old farmer by me told me of a time in the 1930s or 40s his grandfather bailed the leafs from the trees cause there was a drought.
Interesting. Thanks for sharing.
I loved this very interesting outlook I agree 📈
Thank you.
