Awesome man! You hit the nail on the head! If someone don’t watch this whole video I don’t know why.. heck I wish it was longer! Me and Chris talked for two hours about all the fake stuff on RUclips. And for someone who doesn’t know it’s hard to detect what’s real and what ain’t ! Don’t make fun of me too bad when my 25 Cornish cross come in Chris! 😂😂😂 of course I don’t plan to feed the family for a year tho lol.
Bad thing is this false info hurts people ! No shame in not knowing but telling someone wrong to make .02 cent on a video is flat common . Keep up the good work show the truth
Homesteading the Hard Way it sure does! Thanks for the shout out by the way! I was so excited about the message in the video that part slipped my mind! No joke I think you did great. Worded it all just right. Great video and hopefully it’ll make a lot of people think! I hope so anyway
Different weather and different micro climates...folk have to find what will work for them. Yep, a hoe is a necessary tool, for sure. I like to have fun with my garden, but its work too! But work is good for us.
Boy you hit the nail on the head on Sooo many levels, especially you tube salesman, and new to their craft being bamboozled, and everything else you said was no nonsense to the point learned by hardwork.. GOOD FOR YOU MAN!!!
thanks for the real talk...homesteading isn't for the weak of heart (or back); it's not a hobby, but a blessing if you've got the grit and willingness to take advice from proven farmers
I wish more you tubers would be honest but I think it hurts their income too much . People like the fairytale , the dream of leaving town and making a life and a living on two acres
You speak the truth. My little garden will never supply all we need, but it was designed to be easier on us as seniors with health issues. As limited as we are, we are still able to produce some of our own food with enough to can or dehydrate for later use. The garden helps us by getting us out into the sunshine and fresh air, getting a little exercise, and provide some of our food. What we are able to produce is so much better for us than anything from the grocery store because it is Fresh, No chemical additives, and only We touched it. Our system works for us. If anyone gets a SPARK of inspiration to try to use any of our ideas, then we have been successful. We do what we can.
You should label these videos working mans knowledge Mr Chris! You shared a bunch of great information in it! It's funny I have people showing up at my place to get seed telling me that I wont beable to grow anything in my GHs. That it's to hot in Louisiana. Then they go on to preach about how they saw this video, or someone told them it wont work. Then I show them the videos of the one from the country for the last 3 years. Honestly if I am watching a video this is how I decide if I wanna look more into the information given. If the people doing the video look like the new wave country music singer. I take it with a grain of salt and research alot more! If they look like the highway men! I am in feet first! Lol Older people learned the correct way. Not the easy way. Keep up the great information! Gro Dat!!
@@HomesteadingtheHardWay I dont know much about anything but the chickens! I am sure you hear alot. Them keyboard warriors ain't afraid to make themselves heard. And they think they are always correct. Oh man I like me some old country music. Classic stuff Hope your having a good day! I dont mess with the people who
@@CajunHydroponics I hear it around here , more people than you would think go to Google then u tube to find out how to do anything from changing a tire to planting turnips .it's the only way young folks know how to find out anything , around here say you wanted to know about peach trees you'd go ask Mr Lanier he had 20 acres , about growing sweet potatoes ask Mr leNeive he had the best around but now their dead so ........I understand the problem
@@HomesteadingtheHardWay there was a disconnect in the history train. Ages old information was lost. Same things are happening around here. I am guilty of it also. But trying to learn and trying to teach my kids the little I know.
Another gem of a video brother. I get tickled when they show videos like growing potatoes in containers. Then fill the containers with bags of potting soil, and buy organic fertilizer and organic neem oil to keep the bugs off. Then they show the harvest and they grew 13 pounds of potatoes that they have $75 dollars in. 😁 As they say here on the western end of NC that dog won't hunt. lol
Your so right 50 miles South and 50 miles North of me is 2 different climates . I'm not a big fan of wood chip gardens unless you live in a dry climate . If you live in a temperate climate that gets a bunch of rain it holds way to much moisture . It don't matter if you grow organic or not it matters more when you eat it because it dies as soon as you pick it . Like sweetcorn it looses it's sugar as soon as you pick it . so the best sweetcorn your going to eat is what you pick and put on the grill .
Jim's in town garden does well with it , really well honestly . We tried it and disaster is an understatement . Your right fresh makes a BIG difference most store bought is picked way to early to make it through processing and shipping
God bless you and your family. Over the last couple years I’ve tried to grow most of the veggies my husband and I need, and some small amount for my siblings and daughter. If I had the farm I crave I know I’d plant and try raising animals. I’m ever hopeful. This year I’m happy to say I’m instrumental in starting my nieces plant farming career for her family. At the moment that is all we can handle here in the desert, please say a prayer for me if you could that I get a farm some year soon. Oh, according to google steroid use in farm animals went out in 1979. Not sure we can believe that though, I remember the antibiotics that were used in my Mom’s pullet house and that was in ‘89-90.
Starting the younger folks is important bless you for that ! Not sure I believe 79 either I'm pretty sure both were out by the late 90s for commercial farms you can still get growth hormones for your personal stock but I don't know anyone who uses it . They used to put the antibiotics in the water , I remember when they stopped ( the mortality went way up )
I think people are in such a panic mode these days that they are buying pigs and chickens and whatever they can thinking that they can take care of themselves this way but they aren't taking everything into consideration. They don't consider the feed and the care of the animals they're buying; how long it might take before they see any product (meat or eggs or whatever) from the animal they're buying, etc. They're buying because they believe it's an "easy fix" to their problems of today. I love your honesty. I believe that I am a "what you see is what you get" type of person. I planted my very first little veggie garden this year in containers (and flower pots) and I have been thrilled with how it's coming along. Next year I'm hoping to have a proper raised garden. Take care!!
Have you ever heard of feeding pigs sour mash/corn? If you have, what is the ratio of salt to water in a 50 gallon can of corn. By the way I appreciate your RUclips channel, you're a straight shooter and very informative. Joe.
We feed it all the time honestly I've never added any salt , I put 2/3 of a barrel of corn fill it up with water cover it and let it set for a week but you can feed them too much of it . About half what they get every other day is what I do they do love it juice and all
Great video! I tell my wife all the time about these lies and half truths in homesteading videos.I grew up dragging a feed sack pulling corn through a cornfield where you couldn't see the end of the row. Then I see these guys telling people they can grow a bounty in raised bed.Haha.Keep speaking the truth!
Haha, oh yeah I must admit though I've got 18 broiler chicks in my brooder barn though,but we raised a bunch last year with good results.Had a mama Muscovy duck surprise us with 15 nuggets and another mama Muscovy sitting on 15 eggs ,plus 9 Peking in a foot tub fresh out of my incubator.And add the 13 guineas we processed yesterday.I'm probably good on bird meat until Turkey season! Haha
Speaking the truth for sure about common sense and people believing stuff just cause it's on the internet. And if folks would just raise a little bit of a garden they would be eating a little bit healthier and getting a little exercise too. Send out a little pig update video next time you get a chance. Thanks for sharing with us .
Well said my friend! This may get a few more folks thinking. (But I don't have much hope for the masses - those 2 types on FB & YT. I wish there was some way to teach common sense to them.).
I'm another one Chris who uses a flip phone. I like them for 2 reasons. One the screen is covered so it's not as easy to damage and two, They're compact. I can carry mine and don't know I have it until I need it.
I'm a poultry farmer in Arkansas. Folks always ask me about the anti biotics in chickens and I just laugh! There are NO antibiotics in chickens. If you did run some on them they'd figure it out when your chickens were processed and you'd lose your contract! LOL, folks believe whatever the new media pushes without ever lifting a finger to discover the truth!
Worst part is that when someone does tell them the truth they won't believe it ! I try to tell people all the time that antibiotic free , hormone free , all natural , certified Angus , non GMO, grass fed , etc are normally an advertising/ marketing gimmick ! Another thing I wish more people knew was how bad the deck was stacked against the contract farmer , that whoever your growing for has all the power and if you lose that contract you lose everything
@@HomesteadingtheHardWay That's true. We are at the mercy of the company. Their game, their rules. If they decide we lose, then we lose. They keep their foot on your throat by constantly demanding updated equipment or unnecessary repairs that keep you in debt and broke. I've read my contract from front to back and there is nothing in there that favors or is even fair to the farmer. No middle ground, its all tilted in favor of the company. There is 0% negotiation. People ask, why would a person invest into something like that. Well, when you live in a place where the poultry plant is all that keeps the surrounding towns and economy afloat, you can either work in the plants or at the feed mill, or you can build your own farm. If you own a farm, at least you have some freedom and are somewhat your own boss. And like you said before, work ain't easy and farming is 24/7 365 days a year. Most people don't know what hard work and commitment is. Gotta get your mind right if your gonna do hard work, cause I guarantee that your body is gonna want to quit on ya at some point. Its a persons mindset that keeps em going when things get tough and the job ain't done.
@@jtarman70 it's exactly that way here , most farms depend on hogs , turkeys, chickens to make it grain is hard or impossible to make a profit on and tobacco is on the way out fast . Sweet potatoes etc are grown on contract about the same deal as live stock and you can't get insurance for produce . I've been struggling with it my whole life lost half our farm in the 80s over chickens all but lost the rest in 95 over a hail storm tending produce . Farming is the only profession in the world that your happy to break even and not lose everything !
Many thanks ! Honestly I really thought nobody would watch it and we would just quit after a vid or two but we're growing slow and steady and seem to be really helping a few people . That's our goal anyway . I started watching some of your cabin build , looks pretty interesting
I agree..do something grow something. Lol glad not gonna poke fun at me cause most what im trying to grow is in flower pots. 5 gal. Buckets. and lol a kiddie pool(actually got free when neighbors left a bunch of mess behind and got a camo kiddie pool n lots of stuff to take to the scrapyard lots of beer cans too.lol looked like an alcoholic takin to scrapyard 😀 and i dont even drink). Too many moles n voles here ruining garden b4 so moved to side of house with containers.
Hey Chris, I haven’t been able to sleep tonight so I’ve been watching your videos. I think you and a few others are the only ones worth watching on RUclips
These know-it-alls remind me of my kids when they were teenagers. Back then I came across a plaque that said "To all teenagers - leave home now while you stll know everything". They didn't think it was too funny but they still knew everything inspite of the sign. They're still like that. Sounds like my kids aren't the only ones. XD
Your Talking it how it is as usual. And with that accent you could do voice overs! Im gardening the old fashion way and staying in shape. Im gardening a quarter acre garden and have 3/4 acre of land to turn into as much food as possible. But your right on being realistic.
I like It Well said! Its the truth.... I've stopped watching some channels ,like you i cant go with what they are telling. We go with the same idea with our gardening every year, We work at it as if is the only source! We do as much as we can every year. Take Care & God Bless!
Well said! Most of these Channel creators are after views for a dime, they’ll have a hair brain idea that is “The Best since sliced bread” and 2 months later you see different attachments and a video of how great this thing is! A farm is work whether it’s 10ac or 120ac. Your harvest is only as good as the salt you’ve invested....
I've noticed that too ! I think some of it is running out of stuff to video or copy cating other people . I have found very few easy things in life farming or otherwise
Y'all know were basically in sand dunes and YES we have TERMITES BAD. Most of africa is sandy soil and they have termites there that build mountains in dirt! Termites love sand. ants don't seem as bad here though. Also regarding your other topic: Nothing WORTH having is ever easy, if its worth it its worth working for it! I fully agree with you. Yes a lot of you tubers do lie and switch lighting or angles and I spot it every time it pisses me off that's why we love you guys so much.!
I've had several pest guys say ( oh you don't have to worry about termites up here on this sand hill ) but they eat any wood to sawdust including mulch or even shavings in the hog pens
Awesome man! You hit the nail on the head! If someone don’t watch this whole video I don’t know why.. heck I wish it was longer! Me and Chris talked for two hours about all the fake stuff on RUclips.

@@HomesteadingtheHardWay Ok sounds Good!
Well said! Most of these Channel creators are after views for a dime, they’ll have a hair brain idea that is “The Best since sliced bread” and 2 months later you see different attachments and a video of how great this thing is! A farm is work whether it’s 10ac or 120ac. Your harvest is only as good as the salt you’ve invested....
I've noticed that too ! I think some of it is running out of stuff to video or copy cating other people . I have found very few easy things in life farming or otherwise
Y'all know were basically in sand dunes and YES we have TERMITES BAD. Most of africa is sandy soil and they have termites there that build mountains in dirt! Termites love sand. ants don't seem as bad here though. Also regarding your other topic: Nothing WORTH having is ever easy, if its worth it its worth working for it! I fully agree with you. Yes a lot of you tubers do lie and switch lighting or angles and I spot it every time it pisses me off that's why we love you guys so much.!
I've had several pest guys say ( oh you don't have to worry about termites up here on this sand hill ) but they eat any wood to sawdust including mulch or even shavings in the hog pens
I don't like dishonesty to begin with and I have a big problem when it hurts people all for a like on Facebook or .02 cent on a video .
Cut out the we’re live
Lol why would I do that , everyone but you likes it
Bad info on RUclips? ... Lots of it!
