Thanks for sharing your story. I know first hand it doesn't make it "worth it" but I find people who have faced some adversity or come from less than ideal family situations are generally just a lot more interesting and adaptable so hopefully that's some silver lining. I don't know you but I'm rooting for you and I hope you're proud of all you accomplished so far

Could you please post your recipes?

Not going to lie, i enjoyed having a talk by Devin (hi mate), especially for a subject like this. I like how Devin speaks, and how he explains things. I’m actually very up to it having Devin much more often into the videos. But obviously it’s not my call and let’s face it, we men just want to get things done etc. instead of talking to a camera. 😅 Also the minimal editing and jump cuts etc. was quite enjoyable. And i can’t even purchase any of these. Located in EU. 😅 But an over under is still good for local animal hunting, especially since we don’t have bears here, at max maybe see a fox.

It’s looking beautiful, yntil you get out of the house and shut the door behind you, and all of a sudden a ton of snow crushes you. 😬 I’m….lucky… i guess, for not having that cold of winters or at least no snow? 🤷‍♂️ Now that i thought of it, i am not sure i am actually. 🤔🤷‍♂️

I'm trying to build homestead in California. Still havent found my property, but I know the two counties I want to live in .Thank you for all your help Sarah. You are one of the few people I am so grateful for finding this year..

I love winter

The amount of information in this video is incredible. The whole breakdown is greatly appreciated. I was looking for this for awhile

It’s always a white Christmas till the snow takes out your power lines

Wow, this was a great video. Thank you so much!

I’m guessing this is a Democrat that just wants to automatically dunk on Joel because he is working for Trump. Are you aware many people in Joel’s position charge a small fortune for the privilege of learning about these techniques? You are basically asking him to pay people to learn, who does that? His teachings are about regenerative agriculture, not about self sufficiency. The idea is to improve the top soil, he is not a prepper. Of course he can’t manage 6000 meat birds on his own, nor can he consume them, if this is a commercial operation you need workers, or a large family.

Seriously IMPRESSIVE video. It is all the info I wanted but just simply could not find. On the net all ration ideas were linked to pellets or seemed reluctant to feed grains. So incredible, thank you so much for doing this.

I've been wanting to ask can apply this to raising meat ducks? I like muscovy ❤

Superbowl food for jocks for life on the cheap....what will become of the rest of the chickens besides the damned wings? Really,you are just gonna buy the smallest portion of meat on the bird,but you are gonna buy it 10 pounds at a time?

Omg I was waiting for this to explode with baited breath 😂 looks good

It looks amazing!!!

"I fried 8 pounds of meat one evening" and...???

Just a side note, slective breeding in fact makes the cornish cross a genetically modified organism. Selective breeding is a genetic modification, which is what GMO means.

I wonder what part of IN you came from? We're in Terre Haute area.

I have such a hard time believing some ones mom could be so hateful. I'm so sorry. You made the right choice at cutting all time with her. I also live in Montana in a Tumblewees tiny house on wheels renting on a cattle farm. Thank you for sharing your video.❤

Like your kids eating a lot of fresh berries. I bolted 4 window wells together into a clover leaf shape. Filled it with a good layer of wood at bottom and over filled it with soil after i winter soil will fill all gaps and settle and i planter one strawberry plant and within 2 years it had spread and took over the whole raised garden bed. I now have 6 raised beds. Blueberries, 2 strawberries, 2 rasberry, golden berries, and one just as a dirt pile for kids to play in it is perfect for playtime

Thank you! We are researching meat rabbits.

REMEMBER ONLY OPEN POLLINATED SEEDS WILL GROW PROPERLY THE NEXT YEAR, IF YOU ARE A SEED SAVER. BAKER HEIRLOOM SEEDS AND STRICTLY MEDICINAL SEEDS ARE GOOD SEED SOURCES FOR OPEN POLLINATED PLANTS (NOT HYBRIDS). MOST OPEN POLLINATED ARE HEIRLOOM SEEDS.

Sarah, I thank you for posting the single most informative video I have ever watched on YT. Why the YT algorithm fed this to me, I don't know but I am grateful. I will likely not be putting this rich mine of information into action anytime soon but I am now armed with at least a college semester's course of information. One again, thank you 😊

Free Range Chickens wont need any feed. Just expect to lose some to hawks lol.

I've never bothered to comment on any video, ever, but I want to comment here. If I hadn't already subscribed to your channel long ago then I would have after having watched this video. It may sound silly, and irrelevant, but I'm proud of you - both of you. Live, love, and be safe.

You're amazing and an inspiration. Thank you for sharing your story and experiences. After having everything stolen from me, I'm encouraged to keep pressing forward.

Montana is beautiful. But winter is about 8 months

A ton of incredibly useful information, raising chickens is not a joke and something to be taken more serious after watching this video. Thank you for posting

How did you start your freelance writing journey? Been following since your first video! Love it all! 💚

As I understood from using one exactly like yours, the soaking is supposed to give a steaming effect rather than preventing cracking. For that u put the pot in the oven when it’s not already hot as u said in the video. Btw ur videos are so pragmatic I love them

For my metric system friends I did the math and for an 85 square meters house in zone 4 (of the map from the video) you need 4 tonnes of firewood, or 9 stero meters

Not finished watching yet but im glad you are sharing your story as much as you can ❤ so glad your able to live the way you want now

Hey Lady! I remember finding your channel and finding a sense of hope that my transplant self could make it in Montana with homesteading. I am so grateful to have heard your story today and it sheds a lot of light of how transformative this beautiful state is. I know it must have been difficult to share, especially to the internet and to so many but it's an inspiration. Still working on our channel, we are currently met with some struggles all our own as well here near Missoula. Looks like we might be moving soon, so dreams of homesteading will wait but I am still inspired and determined to stay here as long as I can. Hope you are well and happy holidays + happy new year!

I love your steadfastness and perseverance. Also your realness and your matter of fact ness about data. Also you are a great speaker, very calming voice. Looking forward to following your journey!

Your doing awesome! I really love your content. I just want to say your uncle was right. I had to cut my dad out for my own sanity and he died 2 years later. I found out thru facebook, no one bothered to tell me he was even sick. It still hurts that i could have talked to him, i tell everyone who has had to cut out a parent to rethink how it would feel if they passed while you didnt speak. Because i know it hurt me. Anyway, I hope you have a video about your grow out tractor. Ive got to make one in the next few weeks for some kits.

Thank you for sharing your story. Love watching your content

I've got a cabinet full of gear intended for producing video for my youtube channel - but I can't find the combination of time and energy to take away from the work of the homestead to make videos about the work on the homestead ;)

I raised rabbits in various cages and tractors for a few years - My suggestion is to start raising them in a colony. It's so much better...

I am living in a two bedroom no yard apartment in california dreaming of next year when we move to Arkansas. You will never know how much I needed to hear my learning and planning isn't just time wasting dreaming. I need dirt under my kids feet.

We live in northern ontario canada and can relate with the hard work of a northern climate homestead but wouldnt change it for the world! Thank you for all your hard work on your videos it helpes us to know what we needed to not be so dependent on the feed store

All the good times in a family are made during hard times. Touching video. 🥲

And you made my day with your tropical birds looking at you perched on the snowy, snowy pines :)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

60 pounds of mushrooms? Wow, that's not nothing... Anyway, how about some gardening videos next year?

0:57 - when you say guineas, you mean fowl, pigs or hogs?

I've been watching since your very first video, without commenting, but I just wanted to add to the chorus that you are so not alone when it comes to fraught family situations. My mother did similar, and like you I was lucky to have a safe place to turn- albeit with neighbors and my godparents who had already noticed that not all was well and I needed other homes. I think there's something in the spirit which gets cultivated by the needs that go unmet when we have those kinds of mothers- we need to know how to care for ourselves and our loved ones so we never fall into the same traps, however accidental. People who are healthy and whole despite their family of origin will never treat our children the way we were treated- but the world might, and I think we have a drive to fill in as many of those gaps as we can. You might resonate with the idea of being a cycle breaker. There's a book on that topic by Mariel Buque- though it's spiritual in ways I can find challenging, it's helped me with vocabulary and understanding of what it is I went through, and what it is I want to do differently with my own family. All the best to you- the way you move through the world speaks for itself.

Thank you so much for sharing ❤️. I loved your channel for the information you provided and now I love it even more for the beautiful family behind it. From one momma to another, you go girl! You’re one strong woman.

Thank you very much

I had something similar happen with my family. Mom had a midlife crisis, sold the house while I was in my first couple months of college and then left my dad citing emotional abuse in order for the courts to let her take everything of value. She kept promising my dad if he did what she said they would get back together so he didn't even have a lawyer at first. All my college money was drained and when I asked about it she said she didn't know where it went, later did admit to taking it. I had to drop out. Mom left me to live with my dad who stopped eating and lost so much weight I didn't recognize him. Dad ended up getting a gf and didn't want me around anymore because they wanted to have sex all the time and my presence ruined that. Married my military bf who was stationed in japan and went. Everyone thought I was crazy but I had no one. Both parents were reliving their party days again and we were never close to extended family. To me it was the same as a death. One day I had family and stability and the next I had no one. Tried to donate blood a few days later after finding out abt the divorce and was denied because of my blood pressure not being right so I started crying. The lady took me outside and asked what was going on and I told her and she just laughed and said she was currently divorcing and her 10 and 8 year olds were doing fine. Like something was wrong with me for being upset. It's insane how in american society as soon as you turn 18 you can just be kicked to the curb and that's it. They force you to be in public school until 18 and no beginner jobs will cover rent at least where I'm from.

That was a journey. I got to admit that when you said you liked using the maul I was like "I" don't want to touch a maul if I don't have to. LOL I wimped out and wanted a splitter. I hope you guys have all the time you want on your homestead. And thank you for the high quality information you put out. No one else even attempts the level of detail or quality you hit with your feed and raising animals videos. I am still getting use out of the rabbit and chicken videos. Just ban the haters or make fun of them. Dealers choice.

You guys made the best out of a not so great start. You should be proud of yourself.
